(My HF changer was shipped with the clamps facing out- just a heads up). Then crank down- this should give it enough bite to hang onto the rim.
Simple fabrication help please - post for HF tire machine
Jun 21, 2016 · This will be my next "tire machine". Yes, it is just a stand for using with spoons. About the only useful feature of the HF is the bead breaker. For the ~$100 I paid for the HF, it's a rather large and expensive bead breaker. I've changed over 200 sets of tires on the HF machine. Never one single problem with it.

Jul 14, 2008 · People are different, however, and most of tire changing comes down to a great degree of technique. A decent amount of length goes a long way in easing the pain for many DOT tires...and even some gnarly pure off road tires.

What's a decent set of tire spoons to get? | Adventure Rider
Aug 14, 2006 · Rim protectors made from cut-up plastic bottles actually work a lot better IMHO than the commercial rim protectors -- they're much thinner and you can toss and replace them as needed. Don't forget to grab a jug of RuGlyde tire mounting lube at Napa to slipperyfy everything. RuGlyde makes the magic happen. #3. ADV8, Jul 16, 2009.

Tire Changing/Changer - Adventure Rider
Apr 28, 2019 · What I usually end up doing is using the NoMar to break the bead, which it does well, and then use tire irons and rim guards to remove and mount the tire. My suggestion is to buy a real professional tire changer or quality tire irons. The price of a NoMar will give you a good start on buying a real changer. #12.
EASTBOUND, ultra compact light weight tube repair travel tools.
Aug 8, 2019 · It took less time and less effort to break the bead with the Eastbound kit than it takes to use the floor-mounted bead breaker on my Harbor Freight tire changer. It also took very little effort, just like the videos. (Sometimes I have to SIT on the lever to break a bead with the Harbor Freight bead breaker). It really did work as-advertised.
