I do my own wheel changes with ease but I’d still buy that as it would be even easier………

It was a video for a Rabaconda tyre changer.

I looked for the same video on youtube, but they're all dirt bike vids, the one in the OP was a sportsbike wheel.

EDIT:

If you've got Friendface the video is on their wall...

I just break the bead with the side stand then flick the tyres off and on with a couple of auld spoons.

I do all my own tyres and was ready to denounce that as another useless piece of shite but then I watched the video and I so want that now... like now now.

From what I can gather it’ll be available in June so no vids on YouTube that I can find and it’s not on their website either.

There's a few guys in my Trail Riders Federation branch got them, for a fiver to the club they'll swap tyres for you, it's dead easy. If I didn't have a member local to me I'd have one.

Excellent bit of kit, very well designed and made.

It’ll be out in June, other than that video there doesn’t seem to be anything online eluding to it.

At first sight it looks like an excellent piece of kit. I'm always wary of pre-production promo videos, as they always make it look just so easy, when in fact they're using a tyre with really compliant sidewalls that's been pre-heated until it's the consistency of putty. Be interested to see how people find it once it's been released to the great unwashed.

Cracking bit of kit if it does actually work as well as that! I'd love one, but couldn't justify €489 for the number of tyres I change. I'll stick to my spade and tyre levers for now...

I'd have loved that when I was going racing with the boy. I hated tyre levers .

I have the standard Rabaconda.
Fucking brilliant and you really can have a tyre off and a new one on in 6 minutes.
