Well that's the front done, if he was any good he'd be able to do the rear as well.

There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.
Not so crazy ....
Does anyone know where I could buy one of these tyre changing stands in NZ, with bead breaking lever like the one in the video clip? I've seen them on Ballards website in Oz, but me thinks the shipping would be hideous.

Local fabricator? Cant be that hard, couple of loops of tube, footing, leaver and pivot and a swingy bit to break the bed.Originally Posted by CrazyFrog

Cycletreads has the DRC one - same as we (using that term loosely) used in the Safari. Very stable and puts the tyre at the right height. Not all are so good. The Ballards one apparently needs some modifying on the bead breaker.

Silly RRP but they had it for much less back in July.
I suspect topo's not far off one-minute mousse changes by now.
Where's the ride?
Back in the day, with solid rims they'd shave 3mm off the rim on one side so tyre changes could be done super easy & fast. Can't do that these days with hollow twin-wall rims. So don't believe everything you see on the teev!
