Better bead breaking

I wrote a week or two back about the pain in the ass experience I had with breaking the bead on some tires I was un-mounting.Over the weekend I solved the problem for good. Well, I purchased the pre-made solution so I can't really claim that I did the solving.I went off to the local Harbor Freight and picked up the $60 bead breaker (that happened to be on sale for $50!)Putting it together was easy. Three bolts and wing nuts and two pins and cotter-pins later it was together. Perhaps three or four minutes elapsed in the process. (Mostly taking things out of packaging)Then came the test. I still had the old front tire mounted on my old wheel.It was anti-climactic.I pulled out the valve core to give the tire a bit of room to breathe (and to let out the existing air obviously).Put it on the machine.Pulled the handle.Done.Flipped it over to the other side.Done.A total of around 30 seconds to do both sides including flipping over the wheel. This took me an hour of annoyance before. Now it's almost a pleasure. I'm looking forward to using it more!Shoot... I guess I have to wear out my new tires!  ;-)
