Street Bike Tyre Changer | Rabaconda

Today I test my new Street Bike Tire Changer from ‪@Rabaconda‬ against my old and trusted Tire Machine. If a tool can make my life easier or simplify a task I'm all over it. This is no exception... It is absolutely amazing. What a great and simple tool this is.

Their videos always make it look super easy haha. I have Max2h changer which is very similar to your Olax. This Rabaconda looks way easier because of the design of the stand and far easier on your back!!!

[@tshansen]

Yeah, but when you have the correct technique and are familiar with the product, it is that easy. I get that comment when I'm changing tires with my old machine as well. When others try, they just don't seam to make it. The Rabaconda is much more comfortable and easy on my back 🔥👏🏻 the main reason I got it!! 😇

[@scottydog4115]

Good video, very well made. Keep up the great work!

[@tshansen]

Thank you Sir. Appreciate it 🍻

[@gnarlybadger690]

A very informative video Mr Hansen, I have the dirt bike version but was interesting to see you basically change a dirt bike tyre with this so called “Street” version and obviously you using it straight out of the box without any prior experience and with a tube type tyre. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻

[@tshansen]

Thank you Peter. Yes, this was a little bit intentional. I wanted to show that even if I'm used to my old tire changer, all these types of machine comes with a little learning curve. You need to master some of the small techniques that comes with it. And I wanted to take you all with me on my first time trying it. Glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻

Mr Hansen, great video yet again. I especially appreciated the little cut-in at 09:00 😂 This Rabaconda version looks awesome - the old version was easy enough but this looks super easy. Keep up the good work bro 👊🏻

[@tshansen]

Well hello there Ollie, what have you been up to!? Long time no see 🔥 Yeah, the Olmax has served me well, but age is creeping up on my...fast, so every tool I can get that makes my life easier is worth every penny 🤣🙈 Cheers

[@OllieMoto]

@@tshansen hey dude! Just working away for a while but I’ll be back soon enough. Not making videos myself is giving me chance to catch up on the excellent work of others, which is a rare treat. Definitely need one of these bits of kit when I’m back in the game! Also probably overdue a ride in Norway… 😏

[@richardnowels]

I have. the 3 minute dirt bike tire changer from Rabaconda. I bought it in 2017 because I moved into a smaller space. Much. smaller space. I've used professional powered changers before and the Rabaconda was nearly as effortless once I got the routine down. If they had this changer back when I rode street bikes and super bikes for trackdays I'd have had one in my garage. I used to average about 33,000 miles a year so plenty of tires were changed.

[@tshansen]

This is good info mate! 👏🏻 I never tried the 3 min dirt bike changer, but seen videos of people trying to break records with it. Never knew they made this tire machine, and you can imagine my surprise when I saw the video first time. What the hell have I been messing around on the ground for 😂 I will use the Rabaconda for all my tire changes from now on. I think I will get the other duckhead as well, so I can help people with utside spoked wheels also. Cheers

[@marcthebrush]

That is super easy, its the ratchet that makes it so much easier; B.T.W. I made my T7 spoke wheels tubeless it makes repairs in the field so much more convenient. And your nice Rabaconda might be in the shed...... Nice video, i like your way.

[@tshansen]

I change tires 2-4 times each season. I like to put on more knobby tires when doing offroad/gravel trips, and more road oriented on tarmac adventures. Doing this at home with as little effort as possible makes you not hate the process and you will refuse to do it. I would love to have tubeless on my T7, but I have seen so many with poor result and having to go back to tubes anyway. I may upgrade my rims at one time, then I will opt for tubeless 🔥

[@jimvoitstraveller]

Very nice 👌 video, really like it my friend, thanks a lot and take care.👍🏼👍🏼😊🙋‍♂️

[@tshansen]

Cheers buddy! Glad you liked it. Stay safe 🔥

[@scotty3630]

[@tshansen]

It is just so incredible nice to work with. I would consider starting up a tire shop 😂

Thanks for the review 👍🏻

[@tshansen]

You are welcome mate, glad you liked it 👏🏻

[@TheDervMan]

@@tshansen I tend to change my own tyres and last time (X-ADV with small rear wheel) was quite a challenge getting the tyre back on. This machine makes it look so easy 👍🏻

[@tshansen]

@@TheDervMan You will get quite the surprise when using this machine how simple it can be. But keep in mind there is a little technique required to get this going as smooth as possible as well.

[@Braapncamp]

Nice to see how this version works. I have seen a Rabacconda before which also looked nice. Like that this one had an angle to work from 👍

[@tshansen]

Yeah, I have seen a dirt bike stand with a lot of tire irons, but never this street tire machine. I have to say, it is so damn easy to get the tires on and off. And this machine is much better suited for a wider range of rims and tires. So it is easier to help out with others who need assistance in tire changes. 🔥 Cheers Tjommi 🙌🏻

[@Braapncamp]

@@tshansen That sounds like how a tire changed should be 👌👍 Was there a static balancing kit as well or do You use the one You had?

[@tshansen]

@@Braapncamp Indeed, but sorry to say there was no balancing kit included with this system, so I just use the one I got.

[@NomadSweden]

Really nice gadget. The main thing I really envy is to get the last bead on with a stiff tyre and also getting the whole tyre off the rim. That looked really easy with this thing. And it does not take up much space in storage. Great edit as usual. Jävla däcksnubbe.

[@tshansen]

Tack din grillsnubbe 😂👏🏻 I'm really happy with this unit. It just make the tirechanges so much more enjoyable. And yes, it packs neatly under my desk here in the studio 🔥 Perfect ☕️

[@ronaldreid2185]

I have the Rabaconda gen 4, which I see they've renamed to the dirt bike changer. The street bike changer wasn't an available option when I bought it. With the dirt bike changer the one side tyre must be levered off with the tyre levers, flipped over and then just pushed off with the bead breaker. It works well enough for me, which means it must be quite good because I'm hopeless.

[@tshansen]

Looks like a good option as well, and probably much better if you run with rim locks and mousse

[@thetubelesschannel]

I did like that ratchet type arm and the working position. I just bought a tyre machine more similar to your old one ( the one from motea) and I did struggle almost as much as if I did the work with tyre spoons. Actually I switched back to tyre spoons for my last tyre change.. Your new machine seems to be an improvement. But it is still a lot "blood, sweat and tears" to change a tyre. I think I leave it for the pros in the future to save the money going to my terapeuts (geriatric, psychologist and physic)...I think.😲 Have a nice summer Thomas !!!

[@tshansen]

Hahahaha..... well, some of the blood and sweat is because of poor familiarity with the unit. It Is quite simple if you do it in the correct order and let the machine do its job. Like you, I have been struggling on the ground with my Olmax a couple of times, almost completely killing my back, but that was because I tried to take a shortcut 😂 Have a great summer you as well Sven, hope to see you again soon. (not sure who was batman and who was robin) 😂👏🏻

[@thetubelesschannel]

@@tshansen 😂

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Interesting to see how much easier this tyre changer makes life for you, Thomas. I have an older system, quite a bit like your Olmax, from my 600 racing days. Which works well, but it makes me sweat and tired. Gotta look up the Rabaconda. All the best, Günter/Nürnberg

[@tshansen]

When i first saw the video about this machine it was almost like i could not believe it. But holy crap how much easier this machine works. It is ridiculous 👏🏻 I thought the Olmax was a great machine that did this job really easy. Well, you learn something new all the time. Cheers Günter

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@tshansen I love progress!

[@in2ADV]

Nice video mate! Stay upright 🙂

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate! 👏🏻

[@four38AM]

It is always satisfying when a tool surprises you. Especially with such a tire job. Would you be able to use it on a table do you think? That way it would be great for my back too. Nice vid, thanks!

[@tshansen]

I'm not sure if this is a boy's thing or not, but clever tools really makes me smile. I love how such a device can make a job so much easier. You could use it on a low table, but you still need to use the duckhead with the long arm, so I think I could have elevated it 50 cm without any problem and be standing much more upright trough the whole process. I will try this one day! Cheers Ricard ☕

[@Crittermoto]

Smooth as butter my friend... smooth as butter 🤌🏻

[@thomasrasmussen1132]

Looks nice, I have the other one (or some itearation of it) and tried it once and hated it :p I guess I don't have the technique yet. By the way, I have to give you cred for changing the rear when making videos. I've noticed most youtubers take the easy route and do the front in the demo videos.

[@tshansen]

I understand that there is probably many similar products on the market, and most does pretty much the same job. But I have never tried one that has done the job so effortless and easy for my back. I feel it is important to show genuine footage so people understand that you have some experience with what you are talking about. Glad you liked it mate. Cheers 👏🏻

[@greatfallskam]

Great video. Thanks. I used the older 3 minute RABACONDA tire changer. Still requires fair amount of technique / familiarity. I am curious who makes that tire lube? Kam

[@tshansen]

This is the machine they use to brake records with right? I have seen that earlier, but was not for me and my use. All these machines requires a little bit of familiarity I think. There is just those small little details that makes the job so much easier. The tube I use for my tires? it's a brand called WayGom (I use 3mm)

[@bigswederides]

This is not the same as the Rabaconda I had. I think mine was a prior generation intended for dirt bike tires. I damaged my rim, bent spokes while using it so sold it. The model you tried with the duck tool etc. seems far better. I went off of your prior advice and got the Olmax - still waiting to try it. Thanks for the review!

[@tshansen]

The one with all the tire irons that is set flat on a circle thing? I have seen a version from them earlier that a lot of enduro and dirt bike riders use, but never knew about this street tire changer. And it works so damn well. The Olmax is not a bad tool, as you know! I have been really happy with it for several years now. Cheers mate. Have a good one 🍻

[@bigswederides]

@@tshansen yes, 10 tire irons, and the wheel sat flat. Damaged the hell out of my Africa Twin rim, and had to send it in for repair. Not the one you have in your vid, which looks like it works pretty good. Cheers Thomas, looking forward to your next rides!

[@oeboeloe05]

niiiiice! i have similar one to the olmax one. It works but it's not ideal, often moves all around the place and swinging the bar all around is at times challenging as well. I'm impressed by the ratchet system of the rabaconda, makes it look so easy. Too bad though that rabaconda's price is so steep!

[@tshansen]

Haha, you can see it in the picture of the thumbnail, you really need to rest your foot on the base of the Olmax when spinning, or else you trow it around everywhere 😂 The ratchet system and comfort when using it is totally worth the upgrade for me. I change tires 2 - 4 times every season (try different brands, knobby etc) No I'm looking forward to the job. The only thing I miss now is a good lift for my bike, but I just don't have the space for that 🙈

[@oeboeloe05]

@@tshansen you've probably heard of the Constands bike stand, lifts the bike from the ground with both wheels..easy to change tires etc.

[@tshansen]

@@oeboeloe05 I have seen it before, but had to google the name. Something like this looks like the perfect option for me to have in my small garage/shed. Have to take a closer look at it. Thank you!

[@rhdiving9783]

Bought my 3rd bike now, xtz 750😉, the very first with a tube in the tyre. How often do you change it? And is there anyone you can recommend? Are there other things to think about apart from punctures?

[@tshansen]

Well, It is my second bike with a tube, and I have never changed one because of age, so I don't know if there is a set date or time you should change them. I keep an eye out with the valve stem, it seams that this is the place where it shows most wear and tear after some years. I have used 2mm tubes from Michelin and 3mm from WayGom. But I have no clue if one is better than the other. Sorry! I don't think there is too much to worry about. Cheers

[@occyman]

Good review mate….

[@tshansen]

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🔥👏🏻

[@skybluetenere]

You convinced me, Thomas 😉 On which tyres have you tried it and were they new or used? My tyre shop had a good fight with a new Mitas E-07 Dakar front tyre and their stiff side. Next time I'll change tyres by myself. There is a Heidenau K60 Scout set waiting in the barn, Bernd 💙💛🏁🤛🏼

[@tshansen]

The Rabaconda is only tested with a Mitas e-07+ rear (only 1000km on it) and a tkc80 front but this I did not include in the video (was way easier to mount the front) Been looking at the scout myself, really want to test them to see if they are terrible in rain or not. Cheers 👏🏻

[@hovishill2779]

Damm it Thomas, you are costing me a fortune 😁. Works a treat, only thing I don’t like is the Kawasaki colour, my blue wheels will clash with the green 😂

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, sorry mate 🙈😂 Whit the prices of tire changes here in Norway at the moment this finance it self pretty quick 👏🏻 I never thought about it that way, but now as you say it... can we have this kawa green as Yamaha riders 😂

[@n03m9]

I wonder if you think it might be possible to use your DJI Osmo as dashcam for your motorcycle. I am looking for something that keeps recording (i have a 512gb sd-card). My GoPro Hero 9 freezes all the time, mounting is horrible, auto-upload so bad ...; So I am in between dji osmo 3 and insta 360 x3.

[@tshansen]

I think that would work perfectly with the OsmoAction 3.... and I think you can have a loop recording as well so if you get out of memory it write over the first footage you took. I have never tested any of this features, nor have I tried the auto upload feature. Cheers

[@jayd3931]

Silly question, but at the beginning of the video what is that piece on your kickstand that sits 90 degrees out? It looks like it helps get the stand up and down?

[@tshansen]

Yes, this is how the original side stand is made. And it is to help get the side stand out just as you see in the video. 🙌🏻

[@jayd3931]

@@tshansen Thanks. That's awesome. I used a Ram mount to attempt the same, but it kept coming loose due to vibration.

[@BuglBillyTV]

Hey, i use an old type , simular to the AllMaxMotor and use it for many years now and changed 30+ pairs. So when i look at this system i see some avantages: The 45° angle in Kombination with the Footstand makrs it easier to bring force on the cat without practacing gynastic on the workshopfloor. The rachet: same thing. Very nice System here . But the form of the green lever is poorly designed: with the "shovel" on it it collides with the tire outside, which is a problem mounting tires b150+. What we dont see in your video is the struggle you must have had to bring the valve back in the wheles hole with the tire half mounted. Brave of you shooting this video without a first try. There are tires that are done in 2 min. Some can realy piss you off and take 30min an a second person.

[@tshansen]

This is valuable information mate, thank you! You referring to tires that are wider than 150? right? I'm not sure what you mean with colliding with the outside? I need to try a wider tire to understand I think. Yes, there was at least 5 minutes cut out with me pushing trough the valve of the tube 😂 I saw a video online you could just mount the tire with the tube inside... doh! Well, learning by doing. This is how I was used to do it with my old tire changer. Haha, my exact experience as well. I have changes quite a few tires and some are easy like butter, others not so much. But I find that small macro adjustments can make such a huge difference. Don't stress, just do everything right. If you understand what I mean. Yeah, since this was brand new I think it is more valuable for people to see that there are some quirks you need to learn and come by to operate it with ease. It is like this for everyone

[@Henka-mxpartsse]

offroad tyres are quite soft and flexible so skip the grease when unmounting the tyre so you wont slip, if you really need to lube it. Use a spraycan with water and a couple of ml of dishsoap only. But when you mount the new tyre you can use the mountingrease. Rabaconda is a good quality product that i sell quite many of, but i did not it came with grease, i hope that grease is fast drying so the tyre dont spin if you go for a ride soon after mounting the new tyre.

[@tshansen]

Yeah, I'm used to a tire lube from a local cheap store, that is nothing near this slippery as the Rabaconda grease. So next time I will like you say, just spray on a little bit of soapy water. I'm absolutely blown away how great this machine works and how easy it was to operate when you get the proper workflow. This was another thing I noticed with this lube, it dried and become a little bit sticky to fast to what I was used to. So I don't think there is a problem with the tire slipping when mounted and rested for a couple of minutes. Still need to balance and mount it on the bike as well. Thank you for the comment 👏🏻

[@Henka-mxpartsse]

@@tshansen Yes, good tyre grease will dry and help the tyre to stick so thats very good 👍 sometimes cheaper brands of grease lubes it almost to good so it wont dry 🥴😂 and cause skin irritation as well. Anyway, great video that shows the truth of using a new machine, not that hollywood directed videos 😄😄

[@tshansen]

@@Henka-mxpartsse Hahaha, I assume you got skin irritation on your hands 😂🤌🏻 This is what I figures out as well, good tire grease dry quick, but I'm not specialist on the field. But I make sense. Glad you liked the video, and I think it is important to show that it takes some time and struggle to get used to these machines. Cheers

i chose your "old" one over the rabaconda, mainly due to the price. first tire was not fun and took just as long as using tire spoons LOL. Second was done in 15 minutes. The biggest advantage of the rabaconda is definitely the ratchet system in my opinion.

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, it takes some getting used to before you nail the correct technique 😂 Have had some struggle on my own, I think it's like this with all tire changers. The ratchet system is so great. Absolutely amazed how easy it is to flip on and off the tires. But I really enjoy the bead braker on this Rabaconda as well 👏🏻

Does the front 21" wheel fit to it, too?

[@tshansen]

[@alexmorgan3435]

I think Rabaconda having the device at 45 degrees is a gimmick as it looks so unstable as you try to use it, trying to steady it with your feet. I saw another YTer use it and it looked equally unstable. I think they do an on floor version which would tick all the boxes for me. Thomas you're looking super trim. Ready for the beach! ;@)

[@tshansen]

I can tell you that this is no gimmick, you putting force directly to the ground and I can lean my whole body weight on it. you put your foot there to keep it from sliding or tipping to the other side. I was a little bit curious about this my self after seeing videos online, but you can be sure that this is much more stable than the one on the ground. But if you bolt it down, it is not going anywhere, but that will take away some of the mobility. And for me, living like I do, I can't have It in a fixed position. And with a prolaps in my lower back, well.... I stay with the Rabaconda 🤣 Thank you, been taking care of the body and mind lately. Getting older is no joke, so I have to look after what I put "down the hatch" 😇

@@olmaxmotors Hello Lukasz 🙌🏻 I get easily carried away when it comes to genius inventions like this. As you know, and many others. I absolutely love the machine you have made. It has served me well for so many tire changes, high quality materials but, with that said... the guys at Rabaconda has perfected this to be just incredible easy. As customers it is great to see so much great products on the market and in different price ranges. When you compare the prices for a tire change at the shops around here. I will say that both machines are great value for money. 🔥

[@olmaxmotors]

​@@tshansen Hello Thomas. First of all,I would like to emphasize once again,that in my opinion you are exaggerated...and strongly. Let's start off with Breaking the bead "it is SO MUCH easier..." Honestly, could you expalain,because I see no difference...except that on 3:33 I see a huge tenssion on the tower and slight bending.Sooner or later the profile where the tower is being slid in ...will warp (max2h had the same problem and later they applied reinforcement there) 5:40 You are trying to pull the tyre onto the mounting head. Would it be not easier if this device would lie flatt on the ground ?? 7:00 the same . If this tool would lie flat you could use your knees or hands for help, instead of this you need to use an extra part visible on 8:50 ... On 8:57 the green bead breaker meets/hits the mounting head..This shouldn't happen if this tool is so perfect... One thing i know for sure: my tool is definitely more stable and before you change 1 tire, I will change 3. But yes,Rabaconda is a very nice and fancy product ,cost a lot and can be a good choice for...hipsters. Last thing Thomas: When you did the first movie about my changer I email you and thanked you and you said such a nice sentence: "No problem Lukas, sharing is caring.." Remeber please,that if you share again someting and care again about someone...do not affect negative somone other😉 Bye Thomas,stay safe

[@tshansen]

@@olmaxmotors Well, it is obvious that you have not tried the Rabaconda tire machine yourself. It was the first time trying it for me (I put it on film) and I applied the methods I have worked in to make your machine work easy for me. And you need to figure out some stuff that is slightly different on the Rabaconda. It is so much easier to break the bead with this than yours. hands down no competition. I have both, I have experience with both? you clearly don't. You are afraid this will affect your sales, this is clearly in your statement. I have not said a word negative about you, the machine nor Rabaconda. I have an objective view on it, you clearly don't! It is my responsibility to share my findings between the two because I get so many questions about it. You know I have owned your product for some years now, changed a lot of tires. And it is not flawless, neither is the Rabaconda. But in my opinion, like I state in the video. The Rabaconda is the better product for me. Your comment is not shining a great light on you or your product. I have recommended your product and still do.... but I'm not so sure anymore. Well, the challenge is on. I will get someone to change tires with your tool and me on the Rabaconda... and see if it is possible to change 3 tires with my one tire on the Rabaconda. That is a great video idea. Thank you 🙌🏻

Price for that kit you bought

[@tshansen]

500 Euro or close to that 👏🏻🔥

[@terjetorp9132]

Hvor har du kjøpt den?

[@tshansen]

Direkte fra hjemmesiden deres. Den var i backorder I omtrent en måned før jeg fikk den. Tror de har vært utsolgt en stund i EU.

[@brawlski]

Not feeling it. The stand looks very unstable compared to the olmax which is fully stable as it’s flat. I would like the olmax type to have the ability to be raised so i bolted it the a heavy table now all leverage goes straight in to the tool

[@tshansen]

I had the same consern, but trust me! It is way more stable than it looks! A can really put all my weight on it, as long as i keep one of my foot on the base, or secure it to the ground! It pain’s me to say it, but it is way better than the olmax 👀🔥

[@1bikerdude]

You chose the street tyre version? What’s the difference with the dirt/adventure version?

[@tshansen]

If you go into their home page you see how much the dirt and street tire machine differs! I don’t know all the details that are different with them, but a picture says more than 1000 Words 😇

@@tshansen I simply ordered the ultimate package. Getting older and wiser ;-)

[@tshansen]

@@1bikerdude Haha, sounds like you have some years more experience than me. I was looking at their homepage earlier today, looking at the different hubs for BMW rims etc. I think i will be shopping again soon. Congrats on your new machine mate. 🔥

[@kian-88romanov86]

Hi Does it only work for motorcycles? Doesn't it work for car tires?✌️🤛

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, that is a great question, and I have to admit. I have no idea. I don't see any reason for it not to work? 🤔 Should we try? 😂

[@kian-88romanov86]

@@tshansen Please make a video to see it, it would be interesting, greetings from Mexico sorry 4my bad english

[@MrDlsjoen]

Now when the pull strap was put on b4 using the duck head there was no tire on the rim. Show us where to use the strap with the tire on. 5:50 they cut to putting the strap on and poof no tire.

[@tshansen]

Yes, this was because i used the pin, like i did on my old tire machine (bad habit) and i read in the manual later that you should use the strop so you don’t damage the spoke on the rim. So i had to show how i put on the strop in the video. I took it off first time without the strop. Just had to do this to take away any questions about it later. But you have a sharp eye who notice. Thank you 👏🏻

[@3goldfinger]

I made my own, I can take it with me.

[@tshansen]

DIY options are always great, I don't have the skills or the tools to make something like this myself. I bring with me spoons so I'm covered on trips 🔥

496,- euros or something like that! Was a campain on this unit on their webpage

Standing up, bent over at the waist the whole time. It makes my back ache just watching this video.

Well, it looks worse than it is, trust me. It is way better since you don't use any lifting and heavy preasure when you stand bent over.

[@bonesworld7178]

I'm like u and want to change my own tires... But damn that thing is pricey... Rightfully so

[@tshansen]

Yeah, for me, changing my own tires is a must. Well, for what it's worth, here in Norway I don't find the price to be all that bad. If you take a look at the prices to change a tire at a workshop. It kinda finance it self. 👌🏻

[@dougiequick1]

The ratchet thing while being cool just HAS to be something that "jacks" the price to the moon....what really is the benefit except to be faster? Which if you are not a tire business? idk

[@tshansen]

Faster, easier, less effort and makes it so much easier to just go out and change your tires if you want to try out a new set, or want a more or less knobby tire for your next trip. I change tires back and fourth all the time, and if you see the prices of changing tires with your local dealer these days. It pays it self. For me it's a dead given

[@patcash]

Nice but expensive 489€

[@tshansen]

I don't find it to be that expensive. If you look at the prices for tire changes here in Norway at the moment this finance it self really quick. 🔥

[@wop9113]

Watching your videos is going to make me bankrupt. That ratchet system is a deal maker. Needs much less force than my olmax

[@tshansen]

Yeah, I'm blown away by how easy this new system works. Such a pleasure changing tires now. 🙌🏻

[@CountrysideMan15]

👍,.

[@grego10r]

no its not 700$ vs good polish made 300$ no ty

[@tshansen]

Have you tried the Rabaconda tire changer? So because it is more expensive it is not better? Everything that has a cheaper price is better because the price is lower? I have both, and yes! It is better. It’s probably not for everyone, some would argue that they do the same job with tire irons. Well, fine! I dont 😂

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 OHHHHH NOOOOOO!!! your such a girly man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have never ever ever in my life used a machine to change my motorcycle tires. Always with large screw drivers and then 4 years ago with the tire irons. Now I must unsubscribe from you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍I never seen such a thing. Even Nomad Sweden Does it by hand I have seen. So funny. You would have to do that a lot in order to justify paying for it. Did I miss the price? I was in such disbelief. 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Take care.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

@@tshansen I hope you know that I was joking with you. It is my sarcasm. 🙂 how much was that unit and where did you get it? I could never justify getting one unless I had a business changing tires. But at my age 66 and all my aches and pains it kills me for a week or two after I change both of mine out at the same time. Twice I've done is in 4 years and lasted 9,000 miles. That is really good. I don't speed race. I drive like an old man and stop and start like an old man even with I was a teenager. I was never a speed demon or crazy. Forgive me if I have offended you.

If it was a business, then I would get it, but not for once every 3 years or so, or until my spine is so bad that I won't have a choice. Would hate to think what the shops would charge on a goldwing with all the drive shaft stuff and the exhaust in the way. It's a real bugger to do. thanks. 🙂
