It is just so much more convenient for me to do it myself than take it to the tire store. Plus, I don't damage the tires or rims as much as they do.

I bent my first bead breaker. This one is is much heavier, and it breaks beads much faster and easier. I have not spent much money on it, just $20 on steel and bolts. It has more than paid for itself already since I have changed rims a couple of times and had to remove two tires due to rim or valve damage.

It only takes a minute to do it, then another 2 or 3 to get the tire off. It is even easier to get them mounted, but you have to have a big enough compressor to pump fast enough to seat the beads.

In case anybody asks, the reason I took the tire off is the rim is bent. I am picking up a new rim.

 

Very cool! Couldn't help but notice the duct tape covering your lisence plate on your p-up truck. Just one of the many uses of the wondrous duct tape.

 

Nyroc,
I was wrong on a previous post, it is www.rockymountainatv.com that has two rear-steel stock size wheels for the 650. If you still need them.

 

TRX450, that was not duct tape, I just used the smudge feature that comes with Photoeditor.

jlpier, thanks, I could not find them. I got the new stock wheel already for $69.

they dont have them anymore because they shipped them to me. i got an email from rocky mountain ,that said they were 19.99 and i called right then and bought them.

 

dang, I wish I had found them

 

Hey there nyroc..you gots some great riding action out your way..there aint nothing like that around here...you ride on mostly private land ?

 

No, there is state land and stuff around. It takes a lot of foorwork to fing out good private places to ride.

My brother owns land in Cuba (just a couple hours west of you) that is speckled with places to ride. It is also where Nytro has land, so it is a good place to ride.

I will show you a good day riding around here if you wanna take a drive. Also, lowville is one of the biggest places to ride there is in this state.

I also go to Pensylvania once in a while.

 

the wife and I along with my bro and a couple of buddies this fall are going to try to hit browns corners near lowville...rochester is only about 3 hours from here..cuba isnt far either..soon as get my new ride broke in I dont mind driving a few hours..I would like to hit those alleghany forest trails sometime too!!
