Pete in PA Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 http://www.pbase.com/gallery?gallery_id=259549 Thought I'd link to this. I've been using the Harbor Freight set up for a year now myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Good job on his part. I think folks will be able to understand the process much better now. Thanks for finding that, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 That is great Pete. I never thought of using the wood blocks. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Me and a buddy are looking at getting the one from Harbor freight. We are going to the dealer this weekend to get 4 tires changed :shock: We are only getting charged $20 a tire, but it would pay for itself quickly if we had out own. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Boy...this guy sounds like a real pistol. From the comments page: From: icemncmth  Date: 25-Oct-2004 02:49Fred, Just wondering if you have had any problems with the tires slipping on the wheel since you are using a Lube..Do you clean the rim after you install the new tire?

Steve Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I've been using that same changer for a couple years now with GREAT success. It ran about $90 for everything. We secured it to the floor by drilliing, tehn installing, some anchors then screwing lag bolts to mount it on the garage flor (very sturdy). One guy can easily do a set of tires in about 40 minutes. What he doesn't cover is balancing, that can be VERY important to do right, and I have yet to see any dealership or bike shop balance accurately.

They run sales periodically. they are also good about telling you when it will go on sale and also giving you the sale price if you just missed it. At least at my Harbor Freight.
