Fantastic video, my sister and I have just purchased one of these as we have a mound of wheels to de-tyre. Brilliant watching you and had a great laugh, keep up the good work. Jacquie & Val the twins 🙂
Great work, but the mount technique was definitely incorrect. We’re supposed to hold the bead down into the rim and use the mount head on the other side where it is still above the rim. You were using it in a position where the bead was already below the rim lip, pushing against one part where it crosses over. That’s definitely not how it’s supposed to work. The idea is that the mount head hooks onto the rim while the bead above the rim rides along the face. When you lift the other end of the bar the face will tilt out, stretching the bead past the edge of the rim. If you are near the point where the bead crosses over then the bead you are levering over the edge will want to drop down on one side, exactly the same as it would with tire spoons. The difference with spooning the bead over one bite at a time is that the mount head can hold that ideal position and ride along the rim in one continuous motion. No need to reposition the bar for another bite like you would with a tire spoon. You can turn toward the remaining bead and it will continuously drop under the rim lip on the trailing side. The manual doesn’t explain or show this… at least not for the Pittsburgh version sold at Harbor Freight in the USA. Most of the CZcams demonstrations get this wrong or resort to tire spoons or the demount end of the bar. Hopefully this helps.

Took me 15 minutes to change my tyre, but a day and a half to cut the 200 year old oak tree down to mount the tyre changer to.
I like it.

Good work Steve, man of many talents 👍
Thank Dan! you truly did inspire me to make this video , with the tips and tricks on how to change tyres (Dan changes all his own tyre!)
Awesome video ever 😍 continue to make more videos like this one
Hi Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have some more videos in the making like this, all the best,
Cheers!
Use the pointed end of the rod not the wedged end to put the tire on is also viable. Crunch the tire on with flat side down on the rod.

I wish I were as industrious as you.
Hi Philip Reed, Thanks for you comment! I do love this type of thing, as you might tell!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers!
