What about the tire iron?
You're covered! After testing out a number of different shapes and lengths of tire irons, we've found the best one to accompany this tire changer. The tire iron is included in the bag, so you can just roll up the sleeves. To provide maximum protection for your rims, we have even included a protective cover for the tire iron. 

Need to remove brake disc/rotor?
No, you do not need to remove the rotors. The rim supports below the rim are adjustable, so you can slide them as wide as needed to accommodate any size brake disc. 

Does it balance the wheel?
No, but we just launched the Rabaconda Motorcycle Wheel Balancer, including a wall mount bracket. Check it out!

Does it work on single-side swingarms?
Yes, we have special adapters available as optional accessories. Our goal is to offer accessories for the tire changer so you can use it for all makes and models of bikes. It is easy with double-sided swing arms - the tire changer comes with a stepped spacer that aligns the wheel on the center spindle. Single-sided swingarm wheels vary between different bike models and need a different approach. We have suitable adapters for most common wheel types in our range of optional accessories. 

What’s the smallest axle diameter?
The standard spindle together with a stepped busher works with 20-32mm wheel hubs. For motorcycles with smaller wheel hub than 20mm, we have a 15mm Spindle Kit that consists of a 15mm spindle, 18mm wheel hub adapter and an adapter for the duck head ratchet system. 

Does it work with spoked wheels?
The Street Bike Tire Changer is designed predominantly for cast wheels, but it also works on wire-spoked wheels. In case of spoked wheels, instead of the metal pin to lock the wheel from spinning, a strap (included with tire changer) through the spokes should be used. However, proper cautiousness is always needed as using excessive force can still damage a spoke. 

Can I change dirt bike tires with it?
The rim lock makes changing tires with a duck head more struggle. It is way easier with tire irons and a Rabaconda 3-Minute Tire Changer. 

Can it be used with mousses inserts?
No. Nein. Nej. Non. Nie. Het. You can't use a duck head to change tires with bib mousse inserts. Instead, use tire irons and a Rabaconda 3-Minute Tire Changer. 

What if I don’t have the right adapter?
If the free play gets over 4-5 mm between the hub and the adapter, reach out to us, give us the exact dimension of your hub (motorcycle make, model, year, photo or video of the hub) and we’ll make a custom adapter for you and ship it out ASAP - plus add it to our product range. 

What if I use very stiff sidewall tires?
Changing stiff sidewall tires (like Bridgestone Battlax and similar) will require more time, patience, extra care, drop center clamps, and skills. Do not use excessive force and take your time to develop proper technique. 

Can it be used on carbon fiber wheels?
Changing a carbon fiber wheel with the Street Bike Tire Changer is possible, but it takes especially careful approach and some technique on bead breaking and mounting/dismounting to avoid damage, and we strongly advise practicing on an old wheel first. Never use levers or similar tools as they can cause rim damage, and never use excessive force. Rabaconda is not liable for damaged rims or spokes on carbon, mag, cast or spoked wheels.
