Eastbound.org Moto Winch and tire tools review

I made a YouTube video of the products and here are also some pictures. Sorry about the long video. I'm not much on making these things. There are a few funny parts that even made me laugh! All comments good or bad are welcome.


I really like the products. I ended up getting the heavier ratchet for my Super Tenere. I can imagine this product being used in many ways to get the bike out a tough spot. I also have a pulley, rope, and carabiners as well.

The tire tools are super compact and everything is simple to assemble.

Here is another video of a young lady using the EastBound tire tools to fix her flat. The tire wedge is really slick!! The tire change is about 5min -11min into the video.

Chris What happened to the great tire changing tools you were promoting a month or so ago ?

I still have the tools but have not needed to use them to change a tire yet. I did use the tire wedge to change out the dogbone linkage. That tool is a life saver.

Nice video and write-up for your review of this Chris. Thank you for doing that.
I am looking at getting this product and want to have it on my Tenere for my Colorado back country trip in August.
Have you tried using this to lift your Tenere? I am looking at the 2500 model which is for heavier bikes like the Tenere.
Just curious what your first hand experience has been.

I have not had to test it on the Super Tenere. But I am 100% positive it will have no problem lifting it up. I recommend the 2500 model as well. I just removed and spooned on a new set of tires using the tools and they are amazing!! The quality and function are spot on. The portability is what sold me on them.

Just make sure you put the winch in a spot that is accessible if you drop it on either side. I also always carry a long length of climbing rope, HD carabiners, and small diameter rope for making a prussic attachment. My knot skills are rusty so I carry a small quick reference guide.

I really liked the portable size of this when all packed up as well. I carry the moskomoto 40L Back country duffel so it will fit nicely in there, and is easily accessable with the bike on its side. Thanks for the note for the rope and carbiners and the knot tieing guide.

I like the idea of a climbing rope with carabiners being used as a makeshift block and tackle setup to help haul/pull a bike out of a stuck situation. Do you have a specific size or style or model of carabiner you like to use? What rope do you find works well for a prussick knot?

Sorry for all the questions, but Its good to have a source for some quality products.

Here you go:

1/4 x 50 rope. For all purpose this is hard to beat. It only comes in 100' sections.

For the Prussic attachment any cheap 1/8" to 3/16" all purpose roll will do. Or you can buy a pre-made prussic. For pulley and carabiner I forget what I got. I actually went into an REI and found the most compact pulley available and quality carabiners.
