Hey Russel, it's small detail but it makes it easier for mounting the tire back onto the rim. It increases the thickness a little bit but overall I think it's a good feature.
Excellent Video, Thanks: Do you have a video that shows the layout of the rear wheel spokes on a Honda CRF80?? My son did a little too aggressive riding and broke many. Thanks
Thanks for another of your excellent videos. Without doubt they are the best videos for doing work to the CRF 300. One question. I have never changed a tyre or repaired a puncture before but I know one day I will have to. I have spent many hours watching videos and reading about the various tyre levers. One of the main problems seems to be breaking the bead. Motion Pro have their two levers interlinked which you squeeze together. Eastbound have a similar arrangement using two levers with a pivot in between. Have you tried these levers and this way of breaking the bead? I appreciate you sell excellent quality levers with good tips, which are the quality of tools I want, but in your video on repairing a front wheel puncture you say that because of the tyre you use (which one?) and possibly because you have had the tyre off recently or there is some tyre lube remaining, you can brake the bead just with your foot. I am 71 years old, fit but light (65kg) so it’s important for me to have the easiest way to do this job. So, which levers? And do I need some kind of bead breaker as part of my levers set up? Thanks!
Hi Josh! Great stuff that you’re still riding motorcycles at 71 and staying fit!! I hope to be at this level when I’m 71!! I have experience with the Motion interlocking levers. Do they help? Yes. Is it easy? It depends. I have found that in general tubeless tires are on average much harder to break the bead compared to tubed tires. Do you have a CRF300L? If yes, I don’t think the Motion Pro levers are a must. In the end you’ve got to try it. Practicing to change tires is key. I can’t emphasize that enough. My first tire change was a disaster and I gave up midway. The next 2 were very hard but I managed to do it. Then, just like learning to ride a bicycle, It just “clicked”. I can’t emphasize that enough. You’ve got to do it. You can watch many videos but you will get good at it once you start practicing. Breaking the bead with the tire levers shown in the video is possible and you need patience. For the CRF300L, specially as I change tires yearly, it’s very easy to break the bead. My body wait is always enough. The next option is to use someone else’s side stand and motorcycle weight. If nothing works then you start going around with the tire levers putting pressure at different points. Adding WD40 can help. My recommendation. As winter is approaching, take a day to practice changing tires. Better to do it with some tires that are old and should be changed. Dismount and mount them all the long. I promise that it sill get easier and easier every time you do it.
@@RoiaMoto Roia, thank you for taking the trouble to reply. (I have a CRF 300 Rally - tubed tyres). I thought it might be a good idea to practice at home first and will follow your advice. I wasn’t sure whether to buy your tyre levers (with the complete tool kit when available again) or to buy Eastbound or Motion Pro. I think I will start with your levers and see how I get on. My wife has sold her Multistrada V2 and now rides a Triumph 400 with tubeless tyres so if she gets a puncture it is easy to just plug the tyre. i wan to keep my CRF 300 which is why I want to learn how to change/remove/repair the tube. Keep up the excellent videos and I look forward to hearing when the toolkits are available. I also have the same trail jack as you use - they are excellent. One final point - I cannot easily find a written list of all the pieces included with your toolkit. The PDF you send out shows what to buy to make your own but I want to buy the one you have put together and the only guide is what I can see in the photos. Your website looks very professional so I am sure I must be missing the details I want somewhere!
NO todas esas herramientas son realmente necesarias, segun mi experiencia 2 desmontadores, 1 largo y 1 corto, saca válvulas y un bombín, 1 cámara delantera y 1 trasera, es todo lo que necesito para reparar una pinchadura.

Another excellent video!!
Thanks for the explanation of that little lip/hook on the smaller spoons. I thought it just got in the way, but now I know its purpose!

Hi there, unfortuantely I don't have the information for the CRF80 :/

That will also work. I usually don't need the valve puller.
However I do like to have the tire bear retainer for mounting the tire.
Cheers
