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

la resistencia

These are really nicely made, feel great in your hands and work very well!

Going to Alaska on an adventure motorcycle. Hope I never need to use the motion pro tire remover but if I do this product will work. Very simple design, light weight, and very packable. Great peace of mind. Just one more base covered for this trip.

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!

Dont get me wrong, these are great for thin-wheeled bikes (i.e. a dirt bike) and bicycles but for cruiser bikes, they just kept slipping right before they broke the bead. In terms of acting as a tire spoon, theyre just too short to provide enough leverage to get over half the bead over.

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.

These things work great. I dont know what these other guys on here are complaining about. I guess they dont know what theyre doing. Ive now changed multiple sets of tires from dirt to street and I havent had a single problem. They break the bead no problem and have paid for themselves.

Stop reading and just buy them. They do exactly what they are advertised to do. The construction of these tools looks to have had a lot of thought put into it. They are strong and light. I put a tremendous amount of force on them while dismounting my VStroms rear tire and at no time did I feel at risk from them slipping or breaking. The inner bead area on the tire wasnt so much as scratched and as the headline says, this was my first time ever working on my bike. They were plenty long to get the leverage I needed to do the job, but not so long as to get in the way. Also the compact size of these will make it easy to store them on my bike for roadside emergencies. I was really impressed how well the bead break function worked. I wrapped the spoon end with a rag to protect my hands and began working the tool. I chose spots about 4 apart on my rim and just continued to press a little, spot by spot, with a little Windex for lubes, until 1/3 of the way around the bead started slipping down in to the tire. Flipped the tire over and repeated the process. The spoon part did well on gripping the bead and this is where a longer tool might have been an issue. I was able to get the end of tool lower than the bead because the tool was short enough to miss the hub. I also strongly recommend the Motion Pro rim protectors. I used them as a part of this process and had I not, my powder coated mags would have chewed up pretty bed.

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

Faced with unseating a rear tire from my 2004 BMW R1150 GSA I thought it was time for some new tire tools. I watched a couple of YouTube videos to see just how these go-then head to the garage. After removing the valve core and spraying the bead area with some Windex I started working my way around the rim with this tool and both beads were broken on the first 1/2-2/3 of the way. Just wedge the forked part between the tire and rim then follow in with the other piece. Squeeze the handles together and press down. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but this bead breaker takes way less effort then I expected. Beads broken, rim savers in place and I tried using this as a tire lever. No sweat for an old tire in a cold garage. I was concerned that these would bend and I am the type of guy that can ruin just about anything. Hardly a mark on the bead breaking end and the other end appears unused after levering a tire on an off. Taking another look at the tool kit a carry; all but one of my tire levers will be removed and Replaced by the Motion Pro set, and they are lighter to boot!
