There is always the old side stand method of bead breaking in an emergency.
I have the short lightweight ones from motion pro - top bit of kit.
my biggest issue is always getting the new tyre beads to seat because I only have a compact 12v air pump
I always use a squirt of easy start and a match !

I have some and haven't successfully used them yet although I haven't tried on my Hexhead (GSA) wheels. I tried on a couple of Hondas and a Yamaha XT but found it easier to use other methods like a mate's side stand or the car's tyres. I carry them with me in the toolbox "just in case" but for routine tyre changes I just take the wheels with tyres to the local workshop.
Would you buy them again
Nope, not at the price they are now. If you want to try them i could post down, but I want them back - "just in case"
A Big G clamp will break the tyre bead.
Don't put it "over" the tyre, slide it between the spokes under the rim and come upwards, if you know what i mean.
