Which tyre changing rig?

[Greg Masters]

I'm thinking about buying a rig to assist tyre changing.

Has anyone got experience of any of these:

Nice at a price - but needs bolting to concrete floor.

Cheap - questionable quality

Looks like 2nd one with legs - costs more than first one!

I've got one like the 2nd one, it works well.
Change all my own tyres for dirt bikes and GS etc

I have the last of the three, excellent piece of kit, makes changing mousses an option!

I've had the middle one, ok for tubed/tubeless but not for mousses. The 3rd one looks like a UFO rig and makes mousse changing a doddle;

it's at the right height so you're not kneeling down
it's got adaptors for different hubs
it's got a mechanism for gripping the wheel
takes 17-21" wheels
The bead breaker allows you to take a mousse off in minutes by just breaking the bead, flipping the wheel over and pushing the whole tyre off
It's got a thing for holding the tyre levers in place
it's got a tube to put tyre levers in when you're not using them so you're not grubbing around on the floor for them.

Take a look at the vids here

Greg, out of curiosity who is the manufacturer of the first picture, I have been looking for something just like that for some time and this looks like it would fit the bill. That said the third one also looks useful and more portable should the need arise to use it outside of working area.

Thanks

Tyre Changing Rig

Hi Greg

I use an Abba Bead Breaker.

Works really well, takes up no room in the garage and cheap as chips to buy.

Have used if for both Tourances on the GS and TKC80's on my Husky.
