Motion Pro 08-0519 BeadPro Tire Bead Breaker and Lever Tool Set

la resistencia

this was a Christmas gift and was well received.

Ive been skeptical about buying a set of these for a few years now. Ive always carried a 6 C-clamp on my Adventure bike to break the bead with. It worked but was heavy and I still had the additional tire irons. After reading several varying reviews I took a chance. Im not overly experienced but only once have I not mounted my own tires in 40 years. I removed my rear Hedienau Scout tire on my 1200 GSA that had 11K miles on it. To my surprise they worked simply and perfectly. No muss no fuss. They are a little scratched up now but then so is my bike. Bottom line they worked perfectly for me.

First try was an eye opener! Ive used all sorts of bead breakers over the years and these were by far the easiest. The spoon ends are good as well. They are pricey, but youd pay 10x the price when you are stranded on the side of the trail and have to walk out.

works as designed, but i wish these were longer. had a lot of issues removing an older tire with these. not because they were not designed correctly, but because i wish they were a little longer for more leverage. beyond that, these work great. i was worried that they might bend being made out of aluminum, but no worries there. they held up great. maybe that is a reason why they arent longer? besides that, great buy, and id recommend these to anybody.

They are nice quality and do not scratch your rims if you are very careful. The main problem I have is that they are incredibly difficult to use to remove any moderately stiff tire. If you have softer sport or offroad tires these will probably work perfectly but if you have sport touring or touring tires they are not long enough to give you the proper leverage and you will find yourself struggling. If they didnt get marred from using them I would definitely return them and get a set of considerably longer irons

Some time ago I did my first tire change on my motorcycle. It took me almost 6 freaking hours to get those tires off the rims and install them back! Then I decided to invest some money in proper tools as no way I would allow to spent so much time on the trail. So I did. With this tool it took me 30 minutes to do the same operation one more time for both tires. This tool is not made of steel but rather of some sort pretty tough metal (not allow I think) so its lightweight enough to keep it with me while riding all the time. Highly recommend it to all DIY mechanics who prefer to do their tire change on their own! It will save a lot of time!

Bought these to carry on the motorcycle for a trip to Alaska and Canada. I’ve used them to change the bike tires and 4 sets of atv tires in my shop, just to see how they would hold up. Worked great. I’ll be buying the steel set for the shop so I can leave these on the bike.

I am not particularly strong and with these I have no problem breaking the bead of my tires. Worth the price for when Ill have to do it on some isolated track one day.
