Tire Change Tool Kit

These can be had for around $40 on Amazon.

I like the concept, but I don't think I like that he's putting pressure on the spokes during the change, whether he's added foam or not.

I don't like the breaking the bead by supporting on the spokes but other than that it seems okay.

I have one, works great. No issues changing the DR650's front and rear tires. Put (I think 1") pipe foam on upper ring. If you're concerned cut up a piece of 1/2-5/8" plywood.
