I Also Changed A Tire Today...

[Amber Lamps]

With my harbor Freight tire changer and Mojo blocks and bar....


From this... BT-002RS






To this... BT-003RS


BTW I found these tires for $200 for my sizes 120/70-190/50. They also had Conti-motion tires for $160 in my sizes.

If you havent done the rear, can you video your self doing it just so I can see your technique.

Sure but it'll be a while... I changed the rear a few weeks ago and it's getting cold so I won't ride as much or as hard.

I do it this way if there's no coating on a bigger tire iron.

*disregard the rim lock stuff, that only applies to dirtbikes, I'm referring to his technique with the spoons.

This works on street rims however if you go too quickly and use too much force on the rim they can bend and make small blemishes.

Um... Yea... I've done a 190/50/17 that way in a pinch but it's NEVER been THAT frickin' easy!!!!

Here's a guy doing it with the HF kit, he removed the top piece, which I keep meaning to try myself. The side bar always seems to be in my way as I go around. He mounts a tire in under 5 minutes... I use a rim saver and vise grips for a bead buddy and use soapy water for lube.

This is why I may still drop the money on his bar...
