Good on you for designing no-nonsense products that work. I ride a small bike but I value your ideas and use them to come up with something more suited to my weight-allowance needs but this will be an awesome add to my garage. Thank you.
I have this tool and it works like a charm. In fact, I just used it last month when I put new set of tires on my bike. I never leave home on a bike without it!
How would this work with a solid wheel? My rear wheel has no spokes and there would be no way to use the bead breaker as shown with the pivot post through the inside of the wheel. How well would this work reversing the tool so that the lever is pointing inwards towards the center/bearings of the wheel?
Good video David and great invention. You might want to add to your dialogue that by using this tool particularly with BMW 1200 GS you could save pounds/dollars because some idiot tyre fitter may damage your tyre pressure sensor and it will cost £200 to get BMW to replace it. Is it for sale in the UK yet.
The BeadBrakR tool doesn't leave marks. If you use the rubber bumpers (provided) against the rim then the BeadBrakR tool never touches the rim when you're breaking the bead. BUT.... when you spoon the tire on (or off) the rim, then the tire irons can leave marks. That's true with any brand of tire irons.
BestRest Products thanks for the reply. I have your air pump and gauge that I received as a present. Most well engineered pump I’ve seen or used. I have this on my Christmas wish list for the same reason.
Depends on the options you choose. Go to the BestRest website for pricing. You can get kits for tubed or tubeless tires, and kits with a tire changing mat.
@@bestrestproducts648 I would like to try your invention, the BeadBrakR TIBB. My concern is it is quite expensive for me. If it works then yes I will get my money's worth overtime! Is there a promotion code I could use as a first time buyer?
@@markusht the only difference is the valve stem tool included in the kit.s Tubeless tires VS tubed tires. The tubeless tool fits around the of the valve stem and is used to pull a new tubeless stem thru the hole - this tool cannot be used for tubed tires because it won't fit thru the hole in the rim. The tubed tool fits the valve stem and for that reason it can pull the stem thru the small hole in the rim. All this is explained on the website.
Adam if you're on a trail bike the weight and bulk is an issue. If you're on a street bike and never leave the highway, then all you need to do is call AAA and get your bike towed. But if you're ADV riding to Alaska or taking some cross-country ride, then you'll want to carry: 1.) tire repair kit, 2.) tire inflator, 3.) bead breaker and 3.) tire spoons so you can demount the tire (so it can be replaced or repaired). Four must-have items for an ADV adventure. Yes, they take up space and weigh a few pounds, but they're worth their weight in gold on the trail. If you have a bike with tubed tires, you MUST be able to spoon off the tire to make a repair. If you have tubeless tires the repair process doesn't require tire removal. The TireIron BeadBrakR gives you everything you need to break the bead, PLUS it contains the 3 tire spoons needed to remove and install a tire. For you, Adam, these tools may not be something you're willing to carry. But for the experienced ADV rider they don't leave the garage without them.
@@bestrestproducts648 I have a Honda Monkey and am looking for ways to reduce wight. I plan to ride it around the country if I can. But the tires wear out I would need to plan a place to take it for repair. Too heavy to carry all that. I have a flat right now and am waiting on Harbor frieght to get me the stuff to fix it.
While you use a sidestand from another bike to break the bead, I know several riders who actually bent their sidestand or broke the pivot bolt using that technique. Better to use the centerstand, tip the bike so the there's room for the tire, then tip the bike back. Of course you need another bike so if you're solo you're outta luck. Don't know what you mean by two bead breaker sticks. While this kit might be too much for your needs, for thousands of others it's like having a tire shop in tge pannier. 100% self sufficient.
@@HidalgoRides So, the side stand bent on soft rubber, but it didn't bend on solid ground! The center-stand is not an option, and it is unsafe to use it! You risk flipping your motorcycle and hurt someone! or yourself! Regarding the bead breaker sticks, I am sure you know what they are, yet you can search google for them. 😊 And you are right, this kit is too much for me, it might do the job but in not efficient way according to me. I am not up to spend 4 minutes assembling the kit and another 4 minutes to dismantle it while I just can use two sticks -literally- in just 2 seconds to break any tire bead, and once I'm done, I just slide them in motorcycle toolbox, they are light, and needs no space, and no need to assemble and/or dismantle them!
How about a proper demonstration using a proper automobile tire that is worn enough to make it sick the way it would be when you're out in the field. You got a clean wimpy little wheel with a tire that is almost new and has been removed a bunch of times prior to filming. Certainly not a wheel anyone would use to show off the capabilities of such a product meant to impress the viewers enough to buy this whimpy little jig
Dear Mr. Skeptic: you must have a burr under your saddle, an axe to grind, or you could be an internet troll looking for a fight. All of your allegations, criticisms, or perceived faults are groundless. I've used this kit to break beads on tires from a BMW K1200 and 1300, to a KTM 1290, to street bikes, ADV bikes, and trail bikes. Works great, proven technology. This weekend I'm teaching classes on tire changing (using this kit) at the Touratech Rally, in front of 1,000 riders. They invited me to teach because I know what I'm doing and because I make tools that work. Crawl back in your hole.
