[tang6206]

man wood blocks? what a bunch of crap coats 220 machine is beter and quicker

[ModedSS]

Holy fuck man, that took longer than doing a motocross tire... Take a pneumatic machine to that and I'll have it done in half the time, without scratching the rims. I would totally use that machine for MX tires, but street tires? Come on meow

"You do have the power to tear a tire"

Dam, talk about leverage.

fuck man... i been doing alignments and dealt with the most exotic of wheels and this looks even complicated for me... lol jk... and i've reverse mounted some RUBBER BANDS... id like to see some one here mount a 315/25/22 inch tire...

Pardon my ignorance as far as motorcycles wheels... dont they make pneumatic dismounting machines... lol or why dont you guys use one... im usre that tire is super stiff, no doubt about it... but that prying tool would gouge any softer wheel... im just saying...

[frankeenstein]

I second the fact that GL specific tires are particularly stiff. You can feel it if you get a flat. I would never fit a Dunlop on a GL 1800 though; those are the worst you can throw at this kind of bike, especially in the wet. Although they also seem prehistoric, the Bridgestones are the best for this bike, hands down.

You never show wheels with the brake rotors mounted. What gives?

[noxious89123]

By the way you use those bars leverign against the rim and tyre, I would have thought it would damage the rim?

Might not be too much of a problem on a polished goldwing wheel, but what about a more delicate painted wheel?

[FindlaySucks]

Does the lube cause tire/wheel slippage after mounting?

[dutchfreaker]

looks pretty handy if its your hobby or something

but ill rather pay 20euro for the worktime

and whatever the tyres are ....

[superbran2008]

looked easy to take of but the re fit was amaturish the tyre was under 2 much stress and strain you could heer it cracking not gud that weekens and renders it usless thanks

[nomartirechanger]

I take it from your comments that you have never dealt with Goldwing tires before... The Goldwing tire ALWAYS creaks and groans, its one of the stiffest and most difficult tires to change. If the "cracking" that you referred to makes the tire useless, then we would have heard from thousands of customers (and their lawyers). In fact, we hear the opposite. No-Mar customers LOVE their changers and its ease of use. Google it.

This tire changer is quite good.  I use it for changing sport bike tires for myself and friends. I am buying a GW in September and look forward to changing my own on my second bike.

Thanks! Is the front tire pretty much the same? Where did you get the tire changer?

[flyboyustabe]
