Excellent ingenuity, on the last bit of bead seating make sure you can get the top far side down more. That tire was stretching out too much I think. Crazy great idea though!!!
Fantasic work Paso. I had changed my tire on a sx1000 and sadly tore the tire. They are very hard to get on, but with that lever that you have it looks to be a god job
Awesome, gonna start looking into fabricating my own as well. One advice, NEVER run your fingers underside to check if the bottom bead has set properly. You could be in for some major pain if the bead pops at the same time. Safer to get down on one knee and look, or use a mirror.
nice kit and good video to show how to use it, appreciated . I am not too bad with the tyre levers. that stand and method would be nice though , will look at your other stuff.
It’s more like my homemade professional tools really. I break the bead with a half moon garden edging tool wrapped in a piece of split hose then use tyre levers and rim protectors to remove the tyre. 2 decent blocks of wood on the floor to keep it off the gravel. Appreciates better not to do this on your knees but your kit takes up a lot of space and is bolted down too. Mine just stacks away in the corner.
I've made all of my own tire mounting / de-mounting tools as well and am always looking for ways to improve them. I particularly like your mounting bar end. When you use your de-mounting bar, the bar is to the right of the center post and you turn clockwise. But, with the mounting bar, although the tool is to the right of the center post, you turn counter clockwise. Is that intentional ?
Hi David, you are an excellent observer, however it is not intentional, the instrument is made so that it can be used in both directions of rotation of the bar on the central pivot without conditioning the operation..
I really appreciate the close up on the ends of the tool bar, but I think people were waiting to see HOW you made the tools and where you get the materials.
Sweet setup Paso. Regarding the white pieces: What are they made of and did you machine them? I've seen the pry-bar design before but wasn't sure how to make it. Thanks.
Awesome. Maybe you could use something similar to a bead buddy to help put the tire on the rim instead of those pieces of wood. I'm sure you could fabricate those yourself!
The way you Thought out That Bead Breaker is Very Clever . That's a lot better then wrestling with it on the Ground and you can go around the Tire with out moving the Tire Nice Job
Paso Hello, i very intersting about your design, i change much tire to race and i use a simple tire dismount, Can you sens us your design ? Plan ? Thanks you very much.
Hi David, I have realizate this tools with a plane in my mind only, follow my project in a similar way, and you will certainly be able to build your tire changer.. ;)
Oi Paso, assisti o seu video tambem tenho uma Kawasaki ZX12R . Voce tem as especificacoes de construcao do seu projeto? Gostaria de construir uma com estas dimensoes. Grato, Mucci
Hello, congratulations for the beautiful DIY tire changer construction, I'm interested in doing it too. etc.) But I do not know the measurements of the bracket where there is the Teflon wheel (diameter, thickness), and the bronze pin (diameter, height, etc.). In short, a bit of all the measures that can help me develop that bracket. Am I asking too much? thank you.
Where did you buy the white lexan/plastic material? I assume you shaped it yourself, but I'm interested in what the material is and where you bought it. Thanks
@@TheBless3d The irons have 2 different curves on the ends, and it's pretty much self-evident. Consider that dirt bikers that do rallys or enduros fix flats beside the trails in minutes with little 6" tire spoons! I sometimes crush my tire in my big bench vise to break it, or have used 2x4's to set up to drive the front wheel of my pickup on it...a V8 powered bead breaker!
Very cool tools well thought out , I need to build one of these the bike shop charges way too much to mount a tire. And the design it beats working on the ground. It looks like 6 inch channel that makes up the legs do you have concrete anchors in set in the concrete so it can be unfasten and moved. is that a 5 gal steel bucket for holding tools? a 2 to 2 1/2 inch pipe up to 1 inch 1/2 cross that holds the tire rest I see you put screws at the bottom ends of each cross brace so the tire rest can not come off do you have a set bolt in the rest to keep it in place? Also where did you get the plastic parts? sorry for so many question but I'm going to make one , Paso Great job on the build looks like you take pride in your work.If you built another one would you change anything? Stay awesome
Hi Kevin, thanks, for your questions; at the base of my tool there are two bolts fixed to the floor that prevents movement, the other two bolts are in support to recover the difference in height of the concrete. I made the vinyl parts myself with my little lathe. I plan to build another better one in a future time, stay tuned ;)
Hi Pete, I made the video with some copyright free music and everything was ok, then after a long time i got a notification for copyright problem of a music, i had to remove that piece of audio to make my video free again.. this was the only possibility of modification.
ciao Minotauro grazie per il complimento, ma a quanto pare non hai seguito il video fino in fondo altrimenti avresti visto che c'è un' altro video dedicado all'equilibratura di entrambe le ruote... :) puoi visionarlo anche da quì: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8YRVV8jrErU.html
I would like to add that if you first brake the Tire bead on the floor first flipping the tire breaking the beat again on the other side then mounting it on this tire changer you will save a lot of time
Around 10:44 I noticed some bubbles at the bead. Is this common? I suggest you search eBay for a "plastic tire mount demount duck head" made for a professional tire mounting machine such as made by Coats. These wear items sell for about $15 delivered and will save you a lot of DIY hassle. Spin one direction to remove, reverse to mount.
Hi Ralph, this is a video of the year 2018, I have purchased the component you have suggested already since some time, I purchased two pieces from China, they are made of metal and with Teflon inserts so as not to scratch the alloy wheels, it will be part of my next project.. Subscribe to my channel and stay tuned.. ;)
