Sold Rabaconda Tyre Changer

[Pepsi]

I’ve owned this from new and used it on a multitude of tyre combinations such as tubed, TuBliss and Mousses and it works effortlessly. The Rabaconda tyre changer used to be marketed as a 3 minute tyre changer, I hold my hands up and admit I’ve never changed a tyre in three minutes and I applaud anyone who can, however using this device takes a lot of the frustration, effort and strain out of tyre changes which is why I bought it. It also comes with five Rabaconda tyre levers with different contoured ends, one end for easy removal and the other for effortless mounting of tyres. The Rabaconda will accommodate wheels from 16” to 21”.

I’ve decided to sell it as I’ve only used my bike twice this year so I’ve had no use for the Rabaconda and I can’t see this changing in the future.

It’s not a cheap peace of kit which is why I’m looking for £350 for it, however to purchase it new would cost well over £500. Everything fits in the easy carry bag and it’s a breeze to assemble with no tools required.

Drop me a PM if you have any questions etc.

Thank you.

Brilliant bit of kit. Use mine all the time. You can also get feet extenders to raise it up a bit to save your back.

Yes I’ve seen those on the website.

Not a single enquiry
Do people not know how good these tyre changers are or do they not change their own tyres?
I’m open offers if someone is having a think about it.

A) Your advert has been up for less than 24 hours......not sure what hit rate you're expecting
B) Most places only charge £10-£20 for a tyre change per wheel. For most people they change tyres once a year. Which means for £350 that's many years of tyre changing! For people who regularly change tyres between road/off-road, or have multiple Bikes/tyre combinations it makes perfect sense - but not for your average Bike owner.

DJ123 I was just remarking on the number of views the ad had had but no comments. I guess people were just inquisitive as to what a Rabaconda was perhaps they thought it was the smaller version of an Anaconda

If you own a dirt bike you potentially change tyres very frequently as they don’t last long at all. You could easily do 6 to 12 tyre rear changes per year in which case this suddenly becomes a very attractive option

Have I priced this about right or is it too cheap or expensive?

I have had mine for nearly 6 years, recently purchased the leg risers and the smaller central spindle.

Truly superb bit of kit.

Perhaps try your local TRF group. As definitely an enduro bike useful tool.

And you're asking that as a Yorkshireman ?

Lots of threads are the same. I assume as they appear under 'new posts' people click on them out of curiosity rather than genuine interest.

I read plenty of threads that i post nothing into!

I’m waiting for the price to go down

lol, by how much does it need to go down?

Most likely far too much for a Yorkshireman.

You’ll never know till you try, did you see the PM I sent you?

Would I be right in saying this is collection only and in Yorkshire?

Depending on where you are I’ll deliver it personally as it’s quite heavy. I’m only on my phone at the moment so I can’t see on your profile where you’re based.

Devon but we do pass through/by Yorkshire on our regular trips to Edinburgh although not sure when that will next be.
I'm not totally sure that I need one but can see a time when getting older it will be easier for those MT43 and mousse combinations.

I’ll drop you a PM with my mobile number and I’m sure we can sort something out.

No phone call yet so it’s still up for grabs. Feel free to make an offer
