Not well, in our testing. The cross-spoke geometry combined with a stiff-sidewall tyre made bead breaking unstable. We'd recommend the Street Bike Tyre Changer with the BMW adapter and the Duck Head Kit for Cross-Spoked Rims instead, plus a pair of Drop Center Tools for the hard-carcass tyre.

Yes, though the technique differs from mousse or air-tube changes. You lift the tyre over the rim edge with tyre irons on one side, then flip the wheel and lift the tyre over the other side. Follow Nuetech's official Tubliss instructions for the actual install; note some of the changer's usual bead-breaker benefits won't apply if you follow their method exactly, since Tubliss recommends dismounting both beads to the outside of the rim.

It comes down to your wheel type. If your wheel is wire-spoked, especially if you're running mousse or Tubliss, the Dirt Bike Tyre Changer is the faster, purpose-built option. If your wheel is cast, forged or you're not sure, use the Street Bike Tyre Changer; running a cast wheel on the Dirt changer's steel wheel supports risks marring the rim and the wheel may not seat properly on the supports at all.

This is almost always a mousse fit or mounting issue, not the tool. The most common causes: the mousse is undersized for the tyre (swap to the correct size), or a super-soft mousse needs two rim locks and a valve stem to help seat the bead before the rim locks are tightened. When mounting the last section of bead, guide at least a third of it into the drop centre from the opposite side as you go, use plenty of lube and stop immediately if you hear the bead cracking. If a tyre pops off entirely while riding, the bead wire itself is usually damaged, and that tyre shouldn't be reused even after remounting.

The two front legs fit any Dirt Bike Tyre Changer without modification. The rear leg mounts to the rectangular tube frame used since Gen4 (late 2017 onward); earlier versions have a flat sheet-metal support plate instead, and the Lift Kit's rear leg won't mount to that as-is.

No. Pair it with the Rabaconda Motorcycle Wheel Balancer, which takes just a few minutes per wheel. Balancing beads, Ride-On tyre balancing liquid and Centramatic balancers are other options some riders use.

Yes, if your dirt bike wheel has a rim lock, take extra care and attention navigating it. That said, the Street changer works on tubes or Tubliss dirt bike tyres, but it does not work on dirt bike tyres with mousse bib inserts because a duck head can't be used to mount or dismount tyres with bib mousse inserts. Use the Dirt Bike Tyre Changer and the Pro Tyre Iron Set instead.

4-6 changes a day. It takes a bit of practice. Most people have the technique fine-tuned after about 10 changes.

A bead breaker alone only pushes the tyre off the rim, the hardest part of the job, but it won't mount or dismount the tyre for you. The Street Bike Tyre Changer includes a bead breaker AND the ratcheting duck head system, so it also does the mounting and dismounting. If a listing doesn't mention a duck head or an equivalent mounting system, it's likely bead-breaker-only and you'll still be finishing the job by hand with tyre irons.

Yes. Install the Tubliss components and slide the tyre onto the rim exactly as shown in Tubliss's official tutorial, then use the duck head wherever their instructions call for tyre irons. Mount each bead in turn, using the included strap (not the metal stopper pin) to hold spoked wheels in place, push the mounted section into the drop centre and use plenty of tyre lube. Take care to position the rim lock correctly and don't force it.

Not on its own. The smallest hub this changer supports is 15mm, using the included 15mm Spindle Kit. We've tested a 12mm spindle on this changer and it bent under the ratchet system's force, which is why we don't sell one. If your bike has a 10-24mm hub and 10-17" wheels, our Mini Tyre Changer is built for it instead.

Usually not. The wheel support blocks sit 40mm off the frame, which clears most rotors, sprockets and pulleys. If a sprocket or pulley extends further out than usual and the wheel won't fully rest on the supports, the included Wheel Support Riser Brackets add extra clearance. Only remove the part itself if the wheel still won't seat with the risers fitted.

11kg (24 lbs), excluding the carry bag: the lightest changer in the range.

One: always work from the front of the tyre changer when mounting a tyre. The manual specifically calls out not to stand at the side of the machine during mounting, unlike some of the other changers.

Yes. The Mini Tyre Changer covers hub sizes 10-24mm, which includes a Grom's 12mm hub, and wheel sizes 10-17", which covers the Grom's 12" wheels. It's the right tool for these small-hub bikes since the Street and Dirt changers' spindles aren't built for hubs that small.

Yes. Unlike the Dirt Bike Tyre Changer, the Mini is built to handle spoked, cast and forged wheels in the 10-17" range, so bikes with small cast wheels, like the CBR125R, are a good fit as long as the hub is within 10-24mm.

The two included spindles (10mm and 15mm) plus the 20mm adapter sleeve cover the full 10-24mm range out of the box, so most riders don't need to buy anything extra. We do recommend picking up bead grease if you don't already have a tyre lubricant on hand.

It's designed as the natural companion to the Street Bike Tyre Changer and also works alongside the Dirt Bike Tyre Changer. It even fits inside the Street Bike Tyre Changer's carry bag if you want to consolidate gear.

Static: the wheel spins freely on sealed bearings and gravity settles the heavy spot at the bottom of its rotation, which is the standard approach for home and small-shop use.

Position the wheel supports, standard or Carbon Fibre, all the way out toward the edge of the wheel's diameter, near the tyre, but resting on the wheel itself rather than the tyre. That gives the most accurate read on the wheel's actual balance point.

Not universally. A small number of BMW hubs, certain F800GT model years among them, are narrower than either adapter is designed for. If an adapter doesn't seat properly on your BMW wheel, contact us with your model and year and we'll help confirm the right fit before you order a replacement part.

For street and dirt bike wheels at home-mechanic speeds, yes. A static balancer settles the heavy spot accurately using gravity alone, the same principle professional static balancers use trackside. Dynamic (spin) balancing machines are built for high-volume shop use and aren't typically necessary for a home garage.
