I have 900/16,s on the FC and just carry the slide hammer type of bead breaker and a pair of big levers. Works OK. I dont think these gadget things would.Quote:

I disagree. The R&R requires different adaptors for different alloy rims. If it fits a given rim, it is good, but it's useless if it doesn't fit and the issue with the R&R and alloys is that the R&R relies on a deep centre as per steel rims. Alloys don't have that.
(also, please don't post in all CAPS)
Just looking at the r&r think you could make something similar but lever rather than the screw system.
Add to the list of will never eventually get to it.
Hi All,
Thanks for the ongoing discussion.:BigThumb:
Hi Erich,
Thanks heaps for your offer. I'll PM you when I get my "head above water".
Best Wishes,
Peter
Camoo, how did you possibly need to change 3 tyres? Sounds like you might have an issue with your tyre pressures?
Mickyd,
After travelling for 12 months without a puncture in central Oz I managed to find a heap of flint piled on a dirt track 2 Christmas ago. It was a long hot set of tyre changes. The pressure was fine until the unexpected hit. A very good friend once told me not to let my ego go where my wallet couldn't follow, I heeded that advice then and ensure my pressures are correct.
By the way, how is the table you left on the gold coast highway! Better make sure your D4 has a roof rack that auto ties down.
