Canadian customers, due to high demand, the Bead Grease Tire Mounting Lubricant is currently out of stock and expected to ship in mid-September.
US customers, the Bead Grease Tire Mounting Lubricant is in stock and ready to ship.
Bead grease should be a must with every tire change as it's what helps create the strong seal between the bead of the tire and the rim. The Rabaconda Bead Grease Tire Mounting Lubricant reduces friction during mounting and seals the bead afterward, without gumming up your balancing beads like some formulas do.
Pro tip from Rabaconda's support team: for stubborn dismounts on hard-carcass tires, soapy water actually penetrates between rim and tire faster than bead grease. Keep a spray bottle around for that step. Save the grease for mounting.
Works great 👍slop it on and the tire slips right on just beautiful and perfect what a tool high quality definitely worth any money that you spend on it
So easy to mount and unmount, mobile and perfect for someone who puts a lot of miles on their bikes, or someone who does trackdays or races and needs to change rubber during a lunch break or day two of riding without leaving your pit. So easy to use.

Thank you for relaying your experience to us! We are always looking to further improve our products...we will document your feedback and share it with our product development team for future product initiatives and iterations of our Bead Grease.
This stuff works great, even after the tire was mounted I was able to clock the tire to the valve stem as I should.
I had another vendors product, and have used it for a number of frustrating years. Lets just say the claims of no maring the rims, and ease of use were far from the truth. My Harley tires were an easy task with the Rabaconda, and in a few weeks I'll be working on my GS. All I can say is great design, love the bag that carries the entire unit, that stores in less than 1/2 of the space my old changer took.

The grease itself is great but the container tub is supbar. It arrived cracked in a couple of places and I did not realize it until after I used it to mount 1 tire. The cracks are barely visible but I can see the lines where it cracked. Policies says it can't. be returned if used so now I am stuck with a tub of grease that is leaking on the shelf and Rabaconda does not sell the tub by itself. Annoyed
Found product to be too thick. Applied to brush and wheel in clumps regardless of trying to warm up with friction with brush rubbing in circles. Would have thought would have been less viscous material for application.

Works very well and as advertised. Makes installing the new tire easy and the grease makes a great bead seal once the tire is inflated, the bead sets and the grease drys out.
The grease is so nice- not like using wd40 or soap or other random stuff- stays slick but isn’t messy. I really didn’t think it would make any big difference compared to what I’ve always used in a soapy spray bottle but it makes a huge difference. Especially on tube tires where I’ve used talcum powder and I don’t wanna get everything all wet. Love it love it love it.
Great stuff. Use together with soap and water. But need this for sure, especially hard cardcass hypersport tires for 1000s (Battlax/ Roadsmart: Rs11) ecz
