Tire changer
I'm looking for a good tire changer and was wondering if y'all have a good one that works well.
I like the Rabaconda, has anyone used this one?
Thanks guys

I have one. I've changed several tires with it. Most often it goes easy, but a couple times I've wanted to slit my wrists. The trick is to use lots of bead grease with it.

I've been skeptical, but have friends who bought the Rabaconda..... they love it. They're chainging sportbike race tires, and in my experience they're way easier to change than a stiff touring tire. I'd love to see them take an OEM HD wheel and tire and take it off and mount it.

But if I had to replace it I would get this unit. For the $320 bucks .

I have a HF changer and have used it several times. The bead breaker works fine. I added some of the special adaptations found on line and also tried a couple different bars.
Honestly I usually use spoons and often use VEVOR tools for breaking the bead.
