Max2h evo2 Tyre Fitting tool Definitive Guide

[@bowlingtrainer]

I have seen a lot of videos about changing tires. This is by far the best one. 1000 Thanks for that!

[@bikerantics5001]

Very kind, thank you 🙏

[@tormodi5925]

Excellent! Very good instructions! I've ordered my self one of these. Got 3 bikes and it's like almost at all time at least one tire to worry about. Having a tool like this, changing a worn out tire is done in an hour total, instead of ordering an appointment at the local work shop. Once no longer needed it can always be sold. I think maybe only one set of tire changed (typically labour cost £70-100) will save you in on the cost of this tool (when taking into account the 2nd hand value of it)

[@bikerantics5001]

It’s definitely saving me time and money 👍 If you ride fast I’ve found it’s best to balance the wheels before re-fitting. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@ArtyYeo]

Cool, I'll be buying new tire for the front next season and will certainly refer to this vid again. Appreciate the patience in inspiring us to do this. Some people employ a couple of zip-ties to squeeze the opposite ends; I've not tried those myself.

[@bikerantics5001]

It really is as easy as you see in the video, no need for zip-ties, just keep the tyre off the beed. Hope it all goes well for you next time 🙏

We ordered a Reifenmontiergerät EVO2 + Wuchtbock + Starterpaket + Tasche) full kit. The order arrived some 10 days later but when opened we suspected that it was not all completely new... on closer inspection one of the elements was badly oxidised and several of the nuts supplied were the wrong size. We emailed to complain... no reply. We called and left several messages on their answerphone... no call back! Appalling customer service and second rate rate product for which they charge a lot of money! Is this the famed German quality???

Really good video on how to use these manual Tyre changers...good job !

[@bikerantics5001]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@andrewfletcher9559]

Great video!! it's worth mentioning that some tyres are marked with a red dot which has to be alighned with the valve. I always leave the wheel weights on as most of the time the wheel is perfectly balanced after the tyre change. Nothing to lose.

[@bikerantics5001]

It’s also worth mentioning that the red dot denotes a ‘high’ point in the tyre, as tyres are almost never perfectly round, and this should be aligned with the ‘low’ point mark on your wheel. If there’s a yellow dot on your tyre it denotes a ‘light’ spot, as tyres are almost never perfectly balanced, this should be aligned with the valve stem. If you have both a red and a yellow dot on your tyre but no low point marks on your wheel the red dot should be aligned with the valve. The red dot takes precedence over the yellow dot as you can use wheel weights to counteract the issue with balance. 👍 I may try leaving the weights on next time and see what happens 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏

@@bikerantics5001 Thanks to your video, I just went out, and used it for the first time. Not a motorcycle tire, rather 30 year old tires on a garden tractor. The bead breaker was key. The curvature of the small wheel was too sharp to use the "lifter" - so just had to use a spoon and a couple of screwdrivers. Gottem' off.

MAX2H is recommending to perform that tyre clamping with your knee. Sliding the handle in the other side of the tool helps as well :-)

[@bikerantics5001]

Thanks for letting me know, might make it a bit easier 🤷‍♂️

[@alexanderbleiber3769]

😮 very good explanation😊 My similar system from another supplier doesn't help me too much with my older BMW because the diameter from the rear wheel hub is much bigger than the arresting cone🤔

[@bikerantics5001]

Thank you🙏

[@johnturner6677]

Bloody brilliant! I'm tempted, but probably a bit of learning needed.

[@bikerantics5001]

Mine has definitely paid for itself now and I do enjoy the convenience of doing it myself. The main thing I found was making sure you push the part of the tyre, opposite to the section your taking off, into the smaller diameter of the wheel and then it’s almost effortless.

Very good demonstration but can you tell me if you can change spoked wheel tyres with this I’ve been looking to buy one but the description only mentions the need breaker for spoked wheels and im just a little concerned about the force the pin will put on the spokes Thanks Rob

[@bikerantics5001]

By ‘need breaker’ do you mean ‘bead breaker’ or the official term for it is ‘handy attachment’ 🤪 Honestly I think it would be okay on spoked wheels but I definitely couldn’t give you a 100% assurance that it would not damage the spokes, sorry. Perhaps ask the makers directly 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@chrisgoes9610]

I have been wrestling with the idea of getting one of these or not for a while. It would be really helpful for track days and swoping out road, race and wets. Really useful tip ref squeezing tyre to get more space. You have re-sparked my interest. Thanks for the vid. Where do you get your lubricant from?

[@bikerantics5001]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it 🙏 The lubricant is just a tub of tyre soap from ebay, about £12 with a free brush. Sorry it’s taken a while to respond but KZbin hid your comment for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[@mikehbomb69]

3in1 spray oil is great for Tyre Lube, stays slippy on the rubber for 10mins whilst you fit and seat the bead, then flashes off. plus its clear so doesn't leave any white residue to scrub off!

[@T1Cybernetic]

Brilliant video ;) Instructions are spot on, Thanks for that. Only question I have to ask is. Can you seat the bead without a compressor? Will a decent electric one like a ring RTC1000 work?

[@bikerantics5001]

Hi, it should be okay. I’d take out the valve core, for a faster flow into the tyre, and lubricate the edge of the tyre with tyre soap. If you have air escaping stand the tyre up and put the part of the tyre where the air is escaping either at the top or on the floor and then push down on the tyre to try and help the bead seal. Sometimes bouncing the tyre on the leaking part can help. Hope that helps and thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@T1Cybernetic]

@@bikerantics5001 Thank you 😉 I've just ordered a very similar tyre changer from motea uk but as I don't own a compressor I was going to try my trusty tyre pump (Ring RTC1000) to seat the bead first. With the valve core out it should be ok, But... If it doesn't work I'll just accept the fact a compressor will serve me better 🤣 Whatever happens I'll report back in the future 🤞

Good video. However why do you remove a brand new tyre and then refit it.

[@bikerantics5001]

Hi, because I swopped my old tyre for a new one then decided to film it🤷‍♂️. Not the best forward planning I’ve ever done🤣

[@desotopete]

Hey. I've never changedca tire. Hence watching videos. If i could get clarrification. Several other how toos say don't lube outside bead where it will rest against inside of rim after install cause tire could slip and rotate while riding. Is this the case?

[@bikerantics5001]

Hi, I use an actual tyre soap and have never had any slippage or spinning of the tyre on the rim. I’ve done some hard acceleration from a standing start on all my bikes and the list includes a GSXR 1000 and a Hayabusa and have never had any tyres spin on the rim. I’ve actually heard that the tyre soap can actually help seal the tyre to the bead because it fills all the slight imperfections in the wheel, don’t know how true that is but it sounds possible 🤷‍♂️ If you were to use a neat solution of washing up liquid you’d possibly have issues with slippage but having not used it I couldn’t say for sure🤷‍♂️ Hope that helps and thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@harolddavis4138]

Is it important to keep the bead in the middle of the wheel to help make it easier?

[@bikerantics5001]

😂 I definitely think it is 🤣

[@austinmatthews347]

You can use quickgrios over the tyre to keep the tyre aqueezed in

TIRE IS ON BACKWARDS!! DANGEROUS! At 13:14 he figured out the correct direction. After putting on tire lube at 15:16 he accidentally put it down backwards. Don’t make that mistake guys! That can get you hurt real quick. The reinforcing threads on the inside of the tire are made to go on one direction. Put it on the wrong way and your tire can blow apart on you. At high speed… Scary!
