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

Im unable to get enough leverage/separation with this tool on my KLR650 tires (front or back). It will pull the bead away, but not enough to retain some space when I pull it out and move it around the rim. The bead goes right back into place when I remove it. Therefore, still have to carry a 5 c-clamp to break & hold the bead, then I use this tool to work the bead off around the rim. Maybe its the geometry of my rims, but this isnt my primary bead break tool for trail riding. Tool is built very strong, but cant rely only this tool.

These are great! I bought them because I wanted irons that would fit into my boxes for touring. Remember .. . tire changing is an art form. If your cant muscle through it youre probably doing it wrong. If you feel you need longer levers, theres probably other things you could be doing to make it easier. I find these to be perfect for the person who wants to be able to change tires in both the garage, and the back country.

I like the double use, bead breaker and tyre irons Very clever design

I initially had purchased the steel, long version of these. Thye worked very well, but were not good for carrying on the bike when touring (which was my intent). These aluminum ones are what I should have bought in the first place. They are short enough and light enough to stow easily. The steel ones will stay in the garage, and these will go with me when I travel. They very easily break the bead, which is often the most difficult part of changin/repairing tires by hand. Highly recommended.

I saw a video with a guy using these and bought them in late June. My wife stacked them somewhere until I was ready to do my tires. Well, today is the day! I go find them and they are like 10” long! The guy in the video had some 18” or so. These are good for a bicycle or very small tire. They certainly didn’t work for crap with my Vulcan 2000. Very upset because I paid $58 for the bike set and now see there is a longer set for $70. Don’t know what touring bike the description is referring to using them on, but not mine. HIGHLY recommend you buy the larger set

Ive had these for a few months and everything I read about them is first rate. They are well made and sure look as though they will do the job. Fortunately, I have not had the occasion to have had to use them, and it will not bother me in the slightest if I never do !

I chose to buy these Aluminum ones over the heavier steel ones. Im glad I made the decision. But the longer length would be nice if weight wasnt an option.

The fingers are not quite long enough to get the tire off the bead on my bike. I have a Adventure Tourer with spoked rims, and with this Tire Bead Breaker it still takes a lot of effort to break the bead as the fingers do not open wide enough.

Get em.

Need to be a little longer for better leverage. Not too much longer though.
