If you havent done the rear, can you video your self doing it just so I can see your technique.

Sure but it'll be a while... I changed the rear a few weeks ago and it's getting cold so I won't ride as much or as hard.

I do it this way if there's no coating on a bigger tire iron.

*disregard the rim lock stuff, that only applies to dirtbikes, I'm referring to his technique with the spoons.

This works on street rims however if you go too quickly and use too much force on the rim they can bend and make small blemishes.

Um... Yea... I've done a 190/50/17 that way in a pinch but it's NEVER been THAT frickin' easy!!!!

Here's a guy doing it with the HF kit, he removed the top piece, which I keep meaning to try myself. The side bar always seems to be in my way as I go around. He mounts a tire in under 5 minutes... I use a rim saver and vise grips for a bead buddy and use soapy water for lube.

This is why I may still drop the money on his bar...
