No directional …
No directional markers on the rim? That’s why I ride a Honda… But seriously, you did a nice job, just missed a couple of what I thought were very important points. I have a Coats 220 in my garage, so my technique will not do much good for the most people out there.

Well, my ZX-6R rim …
Well, my ZX-6R rim doesn’t have either a direction arrow or a speedo hub. But I did mention that about the BMW wheel when I talked about the ABS mechanism.
Post of vid of your technique. It’d give folks looking to do their own tire change more infomation.
BTW, I can change a wheel much faster too. I was going slow so I could show what I was doing on the video

Every rim has an …
Every rim has an arrow on it marking the direction of the spin. older wheels have a speedo cable telling you which way the wheel mounts on the bike. a bit of liquid soap in a spray bottle filled with water does the trick and is very inexpensive. I bet I can change tires faster and with less scratches using clamp type bead breaker and tire spoons with rim protectors….

what about the …
what about the balance dot. He used the spoon to get the new tire over the bar and did not use a rim protector. You don’t need a clamp to hold the bead, hold it with one hand and pull the bar around with the other.

That looks so easy. I’m purchasing my HF tools asap…shops want $35/tire just to mount them if I bring the wheels and tires into the shop! It can’t take them more than 10 min using real tire mounting machines.

Actually, the MC attachment is the thing with the clamps holding the tire rim in place. It mounts on top of the Harbor Freight car tire changer.

I did tape a thing on the set-up and how it attaches to the floor, but it sucked (this is my first time doing a how-to video) and I didn’t post it. I bought some anchor bolts from my local hardware store, drilled holes in my basement floor and bolted the machine down.
Hope that helps!
