bead breakers

[steve47]

Good evening, all.

This is my first post. I occasionally listen to the net and, sometimes, put in my two bits or ask a question.

In listening to this evening's discussion of how to break the bead on tires when out in the boonies, some designs for lightweight bead breakers came to my feeble mind. Before reinventing the wheel, though, I'd take a look online for what others have done.

I found a couple of websites catering to us who think dirt roads are good, and paved roads are...paved. Here they are. The product is Tyrepliers bead breaker. Made in Oz.

The first link has numerous photos showing how one fellow used his.
