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

la resistencia

They worked great it does take a few times around the tire to get the bead to break but it removed and installed the tire with little issues

I wanted to avoid scratching up my fancy gold wheels fitted to the Honda Africa Twin. This was the perfect tool to break the bead easilty and without drama. This coupled with a Baja no pinch makes tire changes a peach.

These worked pulling the battle-axes off my Tiger 800. For the bigger rear, you have to work your way around the tire and use them in multiple locations and maybe hold down one area with a spoon while you work another area with the bead breaker. But the bead did finally drop. I couldnt make this happen with just spoons only the last two times I tried so this tool is staying on the bike for on-road flat repairs.

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.

First try was an eye opener! Ive used all sorts of bead breakers over the years and these were by far the easiest. The spoon ends are good as well. They are pricey, but youd pay 10x the price when you are stranded on the side of the trail and have to walk out.

Ive had these for a few months and everything I read about them is first rate. They are well made and sure look as though they will do the job. Fortunately, I have not had the occasion to have had to use them, and it will not bother me in the slightest if I never do !

Lightweight is not a good idea when looking for leverage. These things were not worth the aluminum they were made out of. Took forever to break the bead on my tire and they worked even worse as tire spoons. Ended up scratching my rims and I ended up using crow bars after wasting way too much time and energy with these things. I returned them and bought a regular set of spoons for a third of the price. A friend has the regular (forged steel) set which he says work good. Go with those if you are looking for a multi-tool (bead breaker and spoons in one). I bought a dedicated bead breaker and a normal set of spoons. BTW, the tire was the front tire off of my FJR 1300. I did the back tire (much bigger) with my new tools and it was so much easier and done in a third the time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these two tools work together to break the bead, with very little effort, and also by their light weight.The only reason Im giving four stars instead of five is that I would like them to be longer, to give more leverage/torque for the spoon side. I know they make longer ones, but those are heavier steel. Otherwise, this is a seriously good tool; a roadside motorcycle mechanics life-saver!

The fingers are not quite long enough to get the tire off the bead on my bike. I have a Adventure Tourer with spoked rims, and with this Tire Bead Breaker it still takes a lot of effort to break the bead as the fingers do not open wide enough.
