Looking to get one so I don't have to nip into the shops to get them changed.

I normally use WP tyre machine but they haven't bothered to fix it now that someone has misused it

Any thoughts on these ones?

Looks like a good thing. How do you break the bead initially? Why you got 3 of them?

$99+P&H eBay. Get a longer stainless steel rod for the centre, then tie the mofo to the trailer.
447

I got three because ... long story ... . Bulk purchase through RATs ... few others here have them as well, Eddie Lee, etc. Bob made the rods.

Buy the ends from a chap in the US of A. http://home.comcast.net/~prestondrake/mojoweb.htm

I am retarded ... spanner wise and I even can use it. Takes a while to get the knack, & I forget if I don't use it for a while. But once you know what you are doing ... 3 min to take tyre off, and three min to put tyre on.

Can get a bead breaker and wheel balancer for 200 from torpedo 7, been tempted a few times to get them.

Otherwise known as nylon. Here's the video Cam (from RATs) made ... he imported and painted them.

Eddie Lee's (he's on TT) is selling his Ducati ... so he probably won't need his MojoLever.

bought one of those with St George championship prize money some years back, it's saved me its cost and more since then, it works a treat
Pirelli's fall on with their softer side walls, Bridgestone's needed to be warmed up together with some of their grease, they slip on too

I got and use the balancer from Torpedo7. I absolutely love it! Works very well, and has attachments for checking disc and wheel runout. Plus a spirit-level guide for levelling, and adjustable feet. At the time I got it (6 months ago or a bit more) it was $89 - a steal! - but even at $129 it's remarkably good value.

For the kind of money these things are gonna cost in Aussie, delivered, I'd pay a little bit extra and get a proper one.

Eg, this is the same as my one that ended up costing me $1,600 when I imported it myself: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tyre-Tire-Changer-10-21-Rim-1-1KW-240V-1PH-/380802413085?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58a997b21d&_uhb=1
Just need freight from Adelaide.

Or in Sydney (almost same model, but a few more bucks - no shipping tho): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TYRE-CHANGER-MACHINE-SE-420-semi-auto-10-22-rim-/131087582491?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e856dc51b&_uhb=1

Any $99 Bunnings compressor will run one just fine. Add the Torpedo7 balancer and you're as equipped as me!! Like a pro workshop :rockon:

I have one of these but seriously need one of those mojo bars. Still takes me a little while with a bit of swearing but i get there lol
