HI
What do others carry for tyre changing? I have a set of levers and rimprotectors in the top box but it dawned on me last night as I changed
a friends tyre I dont carry any tyre soap.
 
Motion Pro have light weight stuff, tyre irons and bead breakers, small hand soap,obviously not needed by card carriers
 
Don't forget an inflater of some description, my 12v compressor brought in Wallmart (worlds best shop!!) for 9$ in 2001 even resealed the tyre
and inflated same no bother. I've always used diluted fairy liquid and never had a problem.

I must admit thats what we used last night to change her tyre. Went down the local tyre bay half hour ago and snagged a jam jar full of tyre soap for
the change in my pocket (about £2.40) so I will be decanting some into a smaller pot and putting in the bikes tool box.
I have BMW recovery but to be honest if I can fix a problem I will, mostly a saving time sitting on the side of the road thing...
