Ive ben using one for years. I use it all the time because it makes fitting hard to fit tires on really easy, and I dont pinch tubes/tubliss. Best product ever
Some tips I've learned are: 1: Coat the tube with baby powder and rub it till the whole thing is gray and slick 2: put a little bit of pressure back into the tube when you get the valve stem and rimlock threads through the rim and so it wont kink inside the tire and get pinched so easily 3: Also spread the baby powder inside the tire and the bead aswell. I didnt need any bead lube when using baby powder, I can even spin the rim inside the tyre to align my valve stem straight :)
I don't use baby powder anymore because it's not made with talc. I have to buy tire talc now. The corn starch in baby powder now doesn't work very well.

It’s a life saver for small sidewall and 16” and smaller wheels. Also helps a ton when mounting tires with a mousse. Most 18” tires can be mounted without spoons at all, not a good test for the no pinch tool
@@Holeshot.racing Sure will, you do need the small hub adapters that you may be able to get as a kit. It has saved me a ton of money not pinching tubes on my kids ttr50. I have seen some knockoffs around now that don’t seem as good, stick with baja no pinch
I bought to take to Baja. Good in the field tool imo. But kind of bulky and heavy. But works good for large dual sports niche. Lube and know how goes a long way. Paddle tires are a nightmare imo.
I'm mixed on it. I've used it on and off. For some tires, especially softer dirt bike tires, I find it kind of pointless. Like you said, developing the proper technique is a better and more efficient way to go. I've also found that lubricating the tubes themselves makes the process a million times easier and makes the tubes last far longer. On the other hand, where I have found the Baja tool really helpful is with tubeless ADV tires and some dual sport tires that have extremely stiff sidewalls. The last few bites can be an absolute nightmare and tearing the bead is a real possibility. The No-Pinch can help get it on the rim in those circumstances. But like you said, it's really just the last few bites. And it's not a substitute for spoons and a bead buddy or two. I see it more as a last resort emergency assist when I'm about to throw an ADV tire through a window in frustration after 30 minutes of sweating and bleeding over the last few inches. 😆
I got the no pinch tool a few years ago. I like it and it does it's job well. But, I have since started using tire mounting lube which makes tire changes easier and I no longer have need of the no pinch tool.
I have only seen it used to install super stiff ADV tires onto the rim while the tire is on the floor not on a tire changing stand. No spoon required but a Bead Buddy does help. Personaly I use a bike shop with a full tire machine re & re the tires on my ADV bike. I take the wheels off the bike. I still do my own dirt-bike tires with spoons.
I was thinking about getting this for tubliss, because I started tearing the bead on my rear tire towards the end. But it was my first time putting tires on. I ordered another big lever since getting the one I have out was part of why it was tearing. The little ones didn't help relieve the pressure. I was also using armor all, but I ordered some tire paste.
I bought one and really didn't like it. Lots of pushing with no real tire movement. I ended up switching back to spoons that I have a 50/50 rate of popping tubes with on the last bit. I think next time I'm going to start with spoons and try to get the end with the no pinch tool. It's been sitting in the box for like 2 years since I last tried it lol
Rhetorical question... What do you mean "I don't read comments typically..."? Obviously this question is not intended for Kyle to read. I mean, why would he waste his time involving himself in anything his loyal subscribers/viewers are interested in? (yeah, a few which is too many, are mean, unkind and abrasive with their words. "Sticks and stones..." No, words can be much more damaging then inflecting bodily pain) Anyways, no desire in participating with us viewers is kind of like a slap on the face! At the very least, you didn't have to acknowledge your disinterest in our interest. Thank you,
I'd buy the cheap version with the thinnest axle adapter and some duct tape to modulate the thickness of that tube when the axle is of a larger diameter.
Glad I watched your video I was considering it, but felt it was pretty expensive considering the price of a Rabaconda. If it was like 50$ it might be worth it, but at 200$, I'll stick with spoons or go all in on a Rabaconda setup.
It really helps you eek out the productivity of small bites when spooning a tire. The less you rely on the spoon the less likely you are to pinch tubes and waste your time. This tool can lessen effort required to do the job, the circumstances where it wont help is when the arbors provided wont fit inside your axle.
I remember when Kyle was first putting out videos how he would go on and on and on, repeating what he already said ten times over throughout the video. And here, in this video, he's still doing the same thing. Makes watching his videos nearly unbearable....haha.
I guess I've been lucky, time will tell. I don't tend to pinch tubes. I'm not saying I don't have some fun tire changing toys, but I don't see a reason for this one. Thanks for the video!
Been using it for years not rocket science just use a modefied length center rod on your tyre stand that fit up in the hollow sleeve of the baja tool. only thing thats lunching the tyre beed is the tool on end of the tool.
First of all who still use tube on rear wheel. I have tube on front and always put grease or mounting lube on my tube. I'be never had issue with pinching tube... never. $250??? for what?
Im a bit shocked to hear that you dont read the comments!!! after all the viewers and subscribers are what makes a youtube channel grow.

Interesting, is that due to it being too "powdery" or dusty for the infant or just regulators having fun with changing stuff?@@bryson_stafford
@@eamh2002 supposedly it was causing cancer. That's the lawsuit anyways.

It certainly helped me when my son was riding a KTM 50

I bought one in 2015, works great on 19" rear tires and trials tires. I dont even have a tube to pinch.

Murphys tire mounting compound in the 8 lb. pail, will last a lifetime and makes it easy
does a great job preserving your black rims.
i found that tire itself rub black anodizing much faster than damage by spoons. But wear is even, doesn't look so bad.
Just ordered one this afternoon hopefully here by Saturday
I agree about the stand thing. I put the wheel on the work bench and btw use bibs.

try in on a paddle tire. total game changer!

you can use a couple bungees to hold the wheel to the stand
I bought a Baha No Pinch a few years ago.... I used it a couple of times and found it more of a pain in the ass than a help.

If you know your axel size the price is closer to $100, I believe.
I’ve wanted one but haven’t hit the bullet…. After this video I think I’m gonna try it
Does it help to eliminate scratching your rims

I like to know your thoughts on using Tire Mounting Lubricant Paste to install tires.
I just use dilluted laundry soap / water mixture. Or even wd40
I have wanted one for years but at $245 I am waiting for the harbor freight version.
Amazon. Be prepared to mod it a little. Def worth it for 70$
@@peteh8077 Thanks, and it's even a real brand, china brand but hey, looks ok. What kind of mod does it need?

Great review. Thanks Kyle.
Can you fasten the tool to the stock center peg of the tire stand? I'm assuming you tried that...
Change 19" rims and you'll love it
Does the top screw on the center post of the stand? or perhaps slide over ?
That thing works great !
Better for a bib moose possibly?
Nice tool but 3-400 bucks seems like to much.
The deluxe is $250. If you only need 1 axel size it's closer to $120 I think.
Love the videos
You know how it works. You’ll hold on to a tool for years then get rid of it only to need it shortly after it’s gone.
Great tool!
BROOOOOOOOOOOO! had this for a yearvits gamechanging

only thing thats lunching the tyre beed is the tool on end of the tool.
Sweet 🤘🏻
Kyle i noticed a lot of your high viewed videos are gone, what happened to them?
I've only ever removed ONE video.... I got fined from the BLM for it and took it down. The rest should all be there.
@@DirtBikeChannelWhy did you get fined?
I'll get a changing stand first, still using a five gallon bucket over here. Lol
Looks like learning to use spoons is time and money better spent.
Some dual aport tires have very stiff side walls. Worth it for that last bit to avoid pinching tubes.
oooh looks gooood
Rabaconda, buy once cry once
This. Especially here in the north where almost all of us run mousse because it's so rocky
You better not show up to a long ride without bibs or you’re not riding with us!
I’m not being funny but $250 for this is daylight robbery
👍👍
My tire station is a bucket soooo.
I knew that thing wasn't worth buying. Maybe for newbies but experienced tire guys don't need it.
those spoons are terrible... i switch from those to the tusk long spoons and it was like night and day! also baby powder, and murphy's tire soap!
So much footage of this guy not having the bead in the valley when installing or re installing the tire 🤔🤦♂️
Just pay attention and don’t pinch the tube. Simple and cheap.
Can it work effectively for road side tire changes? Time index 13:30…. th-cam.com/video/gn17lwwS3aI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Pg8ZEe-JxfkcGNdz
That’s was a long video…. For what it was.
After watching your video, I am not sure it is worth the money.
Heck NO.
First of all who still use tube on rear wheel. I have tube on front and always put grease or mounting lube on my tube. I'be never had issue with pinching tube... never. $250??? for what?
That tool is nearly as worthless as the Stark “2 Pump Chump” Varq….
