We keep challenging the Street Bike Tire Changer with the most difficult and stiff tires out there. In this "Does It Change" episode we got our hands on the BMW R1250GS adventure bikes spoked rear wheel. It had the stock tire still on, the Metzeler Karoo 3 and we changed it with Dunlop Trailmax Mission.
Take a look how to work with the tire changer when you have a stiff cross-spoked adventure bike wheel.

Glad to see even the pros have to do the rotating circle movement to make sure they're putting the tire on in the right direction :-)

Awesome design! I just picked up a GSA and this will get a lot of use in my shop

I love the cool sound it makes when you’re taking the hub off the spindle 🧐😜👏👏👏❤️

Yes, we like it too. And the sound the ratchet system makes, it's music to our ears

Ive been changing tires by hand for a long time...I'm ready for some ease in the process. Plus, I like the fact I can change out tires for different rides with "Great Ease". I'll be buying this soon. Thanks for the great video!

My last tyre change was a rear mitas EO7 Dakar tubed.... Nearly lost a couple of fingers 😅 and all confidence in my tools ...

@@RabacondaI don’t get tired of watching your videos, I will definitely let you know how it went. I recently bought the adapter and special duck head. I will be installing the Trail Max Raid on my 24 R1250 GS. On my Tenere it was a breeze. You guys are amazing, thank you!

Should that white dot on the tire be directly over the valve stem? Great video and equipment! Thank you.

@Rabaconda Жыл бұрын

When tIres are made, they are almost never perfectly balanced, and most manufacturers will place a yellow/white dot on the section of the tire where there is least weight. When fitting a tIre, you should line up this yellow/white dot with the valve stem as this is the heaviest point of the wheel.

So...instead of using the drop center tools, using a tire iron to keep bead in the center of the rim is sufficient?

@Rabaconda Жыл бұрын

It has some advantages. Latest tires I’ve changed I’ve only used the tire iron to push the tire to the drop center. It’s somewhat slimmer

yellow point of the tire is not anymore at the valve ;-)

Those Trailmax Missions are so rigid, they'd be a real struggle to change with normal tools.

Oh yeah, a real challenge!!

It took me about 2 hours on a No-Mar (I’ve done 2 dozen changes on) to swap a Dunlop Trailmax Mission. That tire is a monster. I own this changer now and did the Tractionator GPS front and rear as easy as he showed in this video.

the average GS owner would be more likely to buy new bike than change his own tyres.

@Rabaconda 2 ай бұрын

you might be surprised how many GS owners want to change their own tires.

@skippynj1979 2 ай бұрын

As a gs owner we only chance tires to go to the coffee shop... I'm picking up a tool as I switch pack and forth often between trail max, and anakees depending on where I go...
