Got some of them motion pro bead spanners for Christmas, the long ones. Tried twice on 2 metzeler rears, tourance/ kar003. Can't break bead. What am I doing wrong?
I have a set of those as well. I do use them. I have how ever found two different sets to tires that were really stuck on tight. I have a bead breaker in my shop that I normally use but I like to use the tools I may need on the side of the road to make sure they will work like I need them too. The two sets of tires I had trouble breaking down had been on the bike for close to 14000 miles and were really stuck. one set was the E07 and I can't really remember the other set. I thought I was going to destroy the rim because I was seeing it flex before the tire. I put WD 40 around the bead and let it soak in and got them off. All other tires have been easy. Oh I carry the short ones on my DR650 and I had one tire that didn't want to come off that thing too.Got some of them motion pro bead spanners for Christmas, the long ones.
