I did it!!! Use plenty of moose lube!!! I don't have that type of tire changer, but you technique still works without the lever arm. I only fell down once, next time im wearing full mx gear! Thanks for the great video!!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa! You forgot 2 steps. The one step you forgot was cursing and swearing at the tire and the wheel for 15 to 20 minutes. The second step your forgot which is the final step. The "Gloating step" which is done after getting the new tire on by saying "Who's the boss now?!" while doing a body building pose. Keep up the great work Knight and RMATV!
What about the step where you air up the tube, realize you pinched it with the tire irons and then take the whole thing into the shop to have them put a tube in?
Thanks for the tips. You did an outstanding job explaining the whole process. I have the Tusk tire changer and it works well but I may update to a new tire changer after watching this.
I promised myself I would watch this video every time I change a time from here on out! I bought the same tire changer and I love it. I don't hate changing tires anymore 😂
Great video, a little different than most others i've seen. I agree taking care of the rim lock first makes the most sense but seems most others do the rim lock last. Nothing worse than mounting the whole tire only to figure out you messed up the rim lock and have to start over.
How is it that your tire rotates when you turn it without your spokes hitting the plastic base? My 21” front rim when placed on the stand with settings at 21 inch rests the spokes on the plastic bases. I’ve likely ruined my rim (spokes at least) by bending all of the spokes as I pressed down on the tire to remove as all the pressure resides on the spokes. Something tells me there’s someway to raise the rim slightly above the plastic base pieces but I see nothing in the instructions indicating that.
How about if the tire won’t bead. Even if you use popped on the deed. Then the air runs out and the tire comes off the bead. I have struggled with this a few times.
Maybe it’s me but every time I watch one of these videos it seems the tires are a lot more pliable than mine. Are you heating up the tire with a heat gun or something before installing? Is this something you recommend doing in addition to the tire lube? Thanks!
This looks like the wheel is resting on the spokes? Won't it mess up the spokes when pressing down to break the bead and/or spooning off the tires? This is my only reservations on this. If it's not resting on the spokes....gonna buy this!
I don't know, but shelled out like 2 months ago for a Rabaconda after years of doing bibs on a regular stand with no bead breaker. That hurt. I also bought tires and bibs with it. Nice and easy to change, but would have loved a cheaper option that is decent. This one looks a bit different than the Moose racing one. I do like the rabaconda. Only used once, but still getting the technique down. Made getting them off easier. Still from putting the bike on the stand to taking it off for both tires was roughly 30 minutes. I did let things head in the sun a bit before replacing. Not sure I'd recommend one of the other as I only have experience with one. Watched Highland cycles review over the moose and the rabaconda and decided to try the more expensive option. Done crying. I have a small garage and broke it down the other day to pack it up while I was cleaning. I think I will be letting my old tire changer go. locally for cheap or someone that just does tubes. Works for bibs, but technique is everything!
@@Danman1972thanks for the info. That’s helpful. I’ve been wanting a Rabaconda for awhile. I’m leaning towards the duck head model as I also have a Harley. And the dealer wants $300 for labor to change tires and is over an hour away…dirt bike store is only $90, but also, an hour away. Seems like the Rabaconda or the Neutron could pay for itself almost immediately.
@@helodriver20 Rabaconda makes a specific street bike tire machine and there is also the "no mar" that looks way slick for that and has the no mar has been around a while. Not sure how hard it is to a street tire on this one. I do have a street bike, but have not done a tire on it.

Great guide. Made changing the tire so easy! Even easier that a tube. Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Perhaps the best tutorial, awesome
Does anyone know what is the total length of the Main Arm?
Great video. well explained. Josh is the man!
Great detailed video. I would like to see his method while using tubes.
There’s already a tube in the tire he changed within the video
One of these tires changers are very tempting. Do they work with smaller wheels as well? (110s and 50s)?
This tire changer is designed to be used on tires from 12" to 21".

I love your videos, you are very good TH-camrs.
OMG!! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Is that Rabaconda-copy? 🧐
What bibs are you runnig?
Same if it’s not a bib mousse?
When do you put the valve stem through?
This is a foam tube that doesn't have a valve stem.
Tips for getting the bead to set on the rim? I blasted air into mine which got the bead to set, but then after one ride the bead came off of the rim
Mousse is too small or worn out if that’s happening
Can this changer be used on adventure bikes? Successfully?
Yes you can use this on adventure bikes as well.
@@rmatvmc Thank you.

Heating up the tire is a good way to make it more pliable. Setting the tire in the sun is a good way to do that.

With the Neutron setup correctly you shouldn't have to worry about your spokes when pressing down on the tire.
Sold. Ordered!
Can this be used for tubes without pinching?
Yes, it can.
That thing is sweet!
I need this . Awesome tool. Thanks for the vid
Thanks for watching!
You did not show installing a brand new moose. It is much harder.
Bingo! I've got one right now that I swear the mousse is too big.
Wow...a blue Rabaconda?
Safety glasses 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thing might explode a send a tyre iron into your eye
Safety first! 😂😂😂
Do you like this brand over the "RABACONDA DIRT BIKE TIRE CHANGER?"

This is basically an exact copy of the Rabaconda

Did I just watch new GREEN tire changer...... manly
quicker video if you just said "buy our tire machine."
All you tubers are rim scratchers.😮
They're dirt bikes.
Nasty rim scratchers the lot of them . Bring back the skilled workers
Total rip off of the Rabaconda.
But just as good and cheaper
"Hey! buy our $300 tire changing tool" lol no thanks
Probably never changed a moose before. These are worth every penny.
Better than paying a shop 50-100 per tire to mount mousses.
$100 to change a dirt bike tire? lol wow. suckers@@EverySingleSunday
