Default Tire changers, any opinions?

You can also reseal beads with a piece of rope and a broom handle.
check this out.
After new tire is on the rim, replace valve core,
take a lenth of rope and tie the two loose ends together
with a hands width of slack between tire and rope,
insert broom handle between tire and rope and turn the broom handle,
twisting the rope tighter around the tire.
when the tire beads get to both sides of the rim
soap the the tire bead making contact with the rim
start airing up the tire until you hear the beads pop into place
remove the rope, check tire pressure and remove/add as nessesary.
This has always worked for me, even with a bike pump once.

peace

the 1st 3 are from habor freight, or you can get them there. I have the atv,car,motorcycle one. Paid around $70.00 shipping was free if you spent over $50.00. Works great, but still takes me 1 hr to change 4 atv tires.


later
