So I found these in my driveway today now I just need to figure out which tire changer to get. Getting too old (fat) to be spooning tires on my knees.
We need one north of the Canal, although it seems Tom always has a nice stock of beer.......



Any advise which one to get which one NOT to get?

Tempted to make my rims tubeless.....hmmm what could go wrong?

I have a brand new Harbor Freight tire changer if someone wants it? Come get it. It would cost a bunch to ship.

Slo,

Hack had a Harbor Freight changer had thought about selling a while back: Give him a PM. Edit: Hack beat me to the punch....

With one of these it would do just about everything you would need w/o breaking the bank. Although for tubed tires I still use tire irons with the wheel mounted on the changer.



Or you could ride down to Smyrna for some tire changing and merriment.

And sealing a rim ain't that hard either.

Tom what kind of changer is that, I've never seen one?


Merriment huh....how many people does your shed sleep?

Perhaps (I hate to volunteer Hack's services-but I will ) the next time Hack comes for a wrenching visit he could trailer it along. That would put it 1/2 way to your house. Just tell me to STFU if I'm outa line.

That pic is my tire balancer. Below is my HF changer.




And my shed sleeps 27 if stacked like cord wood....

Maybe Tom could get a modeling package deal for you and Jack.

Great. Now I'm thirsty.

I use both PB and SM. I like Smugmug a little better, but with the phone (for me anyway) it seems like Photobucket works with a little less drama.
