Frequently Asked Question
I'm currently using your No-Mar Mount / Demount bar to change tires on my V-Strom DL1000. I usually use Tourance Tires (rather stiff). I'm considering buying your mixed SpoonBar set (4 levers). I viewed your video for installing a stiff-walled Gold Wing Tire. Do you recommend the same procedure for mounting a stiff Metzeler Tourance Tire on my DL1000 V-Strom dual sport? Or, do you think that No-Mar XtraHand clamps or wood blocks would be better for my application?
The XtraHand clamps probably won't help. They would bee too thick. One wood block 3/4 thick would work to relieve the tire. Two of the SpoonBars and 1 YellowThing Beadkeeper would do the trick. Some tires, Like yours, require the bars. Actually you can see in our FAQ'S we recommend standard spoons for Dirt tires. We are working on a rim protector system for those applications. Most tires spooned on with our system require only 2 bars if used with the beadkeeper. It also works very well with the Mount / Demount bar when installing the tires to keep the bead from creaping. See our newest video "Monster 360 Tire Change" we show another use for the SpoonBars and the Handle on the M/D bar and the YellowThing in use. That tire is probably the Hardest Sidewall we have ever seen. Worse that Dunlop E3.
Within the month we will have additional videos showing tips and techniques for a lot of quirky tires.
