"Rims the tool will NOT work on So far the only rims I know of that the tool will not work on are Excel, and that was on one of the taller then stock front rims mounted on a KLR. I have successfully changed a tire on a rear Excel rim and it worked just fine. The problem we had with the front rim was the lack of an adequate center relief area, which caused the demount tip to BIND up. The mount end worked just fine, even with almost ZERO center relief. The customer that had the problem owns multiple bikes and is still VERY happy with his purchase." Hmm surprise, that's what kinda rims I have too. Except their not off a KLR. But this is kinda a deal breaker that it "may" or may not work, for around $100 I want a tire iron that will do the job correctly everytime. None of this "well I got it to work" bs. Ya what I have works too, just leaves a little red line around the rim, but I can get it to mount/demount the tire without a problem. |

Can you still be a douche if you spend less than $300 on a lift?

My manual says that on this forum. You can still will be. Cause most wear their giant vage on their sleeve.

Good find, Tigger!
Someday I'll have a BIG $$$ set up like GasMan but this should work well for now!
