tyre changing machine

[celticbiker]

While some say there's no point in this set up I've got to say it's saved me a fortune and paid for itself (new compressor too) in just six months.
I will agree that my situation is somewhat unique but I think the point is still valid.
I ride around 500 mile/week just for work 48 week/ year and around 300/ week extra in the summer( around 15 weeks). This sees me using 4-5 rears and 3-4 fronts then there's a set on the car every year too.
That's £165 in fitting costs alone. If I buy my tyres from the dealers they will set me back £240/ pair fitted I can get the same tyres for £130 to £160/ pair on line so I'm saving £120 every time I change tyres.
All that means I'm changing a tyre one way or another every 12 weeks ( about the same time scale as oil changes).



So I've got this changer

But the bar that comes with it can damage paint so I got this bar instead.
