. Not only will it save you money, but also time. The review is quick and to the point, but since I use this tool on every tire change I felt this review would help those riders who are on the fence about changing their own tires.Saves You Money:
One of the easiest ways to save money in the sport of dirt bike riding is to change your own tires. Most shops charge anywhere from $15-$30 per tire, and usually want you to put in a new tube. If you are like most and use 2-3 sets of tires per year, then every other year you basically get a free set of tires by changing your own.
Saves You Time:
The way the Bead Buddy II
saves you time is it keeps you from having to re-spoon on a section of tire that pops off while mounting the opposite end.How It Works:
The Bead Buddy II
is one of those simple tools that is easy to use and figure out. All you do is slide the end opposite of the notch over the tire sidewall and under the rim's lip. Then you position the cut out into a spoke to keep it in place.Conclusion:
If you are not currently using a Bead Buddy II
, it is worth the initial cost to have one in your tool bag. It sells for only $12.99 on Amazon (which can be found HERE
). If you are a rider that is on the fence about changing your own tires check out the review links below for more tools that will make this process easier. Also check out our review on the Baja No Pinch Tire Tool to make that last bite easier.Tools To Make Tire Changing Easy
