BeadPro - Are they worth it - Yamaha Tenere 700 

That went much easier for you. I had a hell of a time getting the rear tire bead to break.

I bought the Chinese knock-off copy of these in steel for $35 USD for the short set. Have not tried but they look identical to the originals in shape and design. I can't imagine they they would not work just as well although perhaps a bit heavier than the aluminum version.

Hi, I have the two models of this brand, the large ones in steel for the 40 cm workshop and those in aluminum for traveling + a small one in steel. depending on the tire you have fitted for example, a MITAS 09 DAKKAR, you will not be able to remove it with the aluminum BEADPROs. (it's good when traveling so as not to weigh yourself down and carry out a repair on your inner tube "stick a patch or change the inner tube") When I go on a motorcycle trip, I have about 3 to 4 kg of 'tools. difficult to carry you less. For the workshop I have 4 tire changers and a cheap stripper. goodbye

Next time, spray the tire with some soapy water. You just have to break the bead at one point and can to the rest by hand by pushing down. You overcomplicated it..

Yes they are "wort" it, I carry two sets for changing "tiers" !!

I always break the bead with the side stand, easy-squeezy.

I always walk around the wheel and break the bead with my heel.

The Motion Pro product is excellent - but way overpriced. You can pick up the identical Vevor version for less than half the price.

the small ones are waste of money.
