Very cool. It’s a shame that Rabaconda is obscene with their pricing. They’d sell 20x more if they were reasonably priced.

I recently won a Rabaconda and have used it a few times. With some practice I'm already in the 12-14 minute range installing a mousse and tire. With some practice I could probably break the 10 minute mark but not so sure I'll hit 3 minutes. So far it's been great and much easier than my previous method of using a 5 gallon bucket! Good product.

Thanks for the real world feedback, Rob. It's definitely a tool that you've got to spend some time with the become faster. - Wes

I spent 6 hours changing two 10” CRF50 tires and popped 3 tubes in the process…this is pretty amazing

First time I changed a mousse without a tire changing tool, took me a tad over 3 hours. Can now change a soft mousse in about 15 mins, but my tire changer has some serious flaws and acts simply like a holder. The Rabaconda is on my list of things to get when I upgrade!

I'm pretty excited for the Street tire one. thts the one I'm wanting to get for my Race events and track days. super exciting

I know they made it to fit in the bag to Cary but if they put in the extra pieces of tubing to complete the ring it would not flex when trying to get the extra leverage in the special slot for the tire iron . Maybe Gen 5

Could you please make more how to technique videos for motocross

Hmmm might get one

Changing a tire on a motorcycle - hate it with a passion, but the more times you do it, obviously, the better and faster you'll get. Im looking at something like this for changing tires at home, but I can imagine the shipping cost to Norway is a bit too hefty.

I have a pretty good technique for removing/installing tubed tires without a tire changer or wheel stand. It usually only requires two of the short (8" long) motion pro tire irons. About two months ago I tried using that same technique to install mousses. Fortunately I bought some motion pro bead buddy tools before starting the install. Without those I probably would have given up. Many lessons were learned. I'm not sure how much time it actually took to install the tires with mousses because I had to walk away several times. Adding to the struggle was the fact that my garage was fast approaching spontaneous human combustion temperatures in the AZ summer heat. I could probably do it in AN hour, rather than the many hours it took the first time. I still see one of these Rabaconda tools in my future since I do like running mousse inserts.

Who knows though that high heat might have been what made it possible? Try it on a cold day uhhggg!

That mousse looks massive in that tire. Makes it waay harder when you gotta put a monster mousse in. The reason i hate mounti michelin mousses.

Out of curiosity, I have a 21" x 2.15" spoke wheel (XL883C) or Sportster 883 Custom. Can this/will this product be compatible or is it recommended ADV wheels only?

This should work fine for your application, but it is mainly meant for off-road tires with bib mousses. Rabaconda is actually coming out with a street bike tire changer specifically for sport bikes, cruisers and Harley's in a few months. You can check out more information on their website here: us.rabaconda.com/products/street-bike-tire-changer

I bought a rabaconda it did not come with any tire irons

Do they work on road tires, with any luck with my levers I get a tire change done in 30 mins

Yes.

I've done two mousses on the kitchen floor. It took 45mins to an hour and a whole lot of swearing. I am very close to pulling the trigger and pick up a Rabaconda.

To bad the tire spoon trash your rim, especially if the sidewall is stiff

Two year old video I get it... the people need different axel sizes... my boys ride Honda 4T's, my KTM.... no problem don't make me measure

4:05, flipping them three spreader tools over looks like the perfect way to damage your wheels.

In this instance we were trying to go as quickly as possible and probably not being as careful as you would be normally. Just take your time and you'll be good to go.

A pair of long spoons and some Windex to lube the bead is all one really needs to easily change tube tires on dirt bikes, as tubes are easy. A "Baja No Pinch" tire tool is a nice luxury for putting the tire back on and minimizing the change of biting the tube with the tire iron. Have mounted bibs with a Rabaconda, for me it is definitely a two man job as it helps to have a 2nd person holding the multiple spoons while the lead installer works their way around the wheel. Even this video had the narrator helping a bit. Bibs are a bitch to do, but the Rabaconda at least makes it possible. The Rabaconda spoons are the shiznits, as is the stand. It is all good stuff.

Rear tyres aren't too hard to fit compared to fronts.

The mullet definitely slowed him down. IMO

Remember guys, it’s only easy with a soft moose and a gummy tire. Try it with a hard moose and an M5B then you’ll see the real struggle.

He would have totally wrecked a tube with all that forcing

Scratched rims. 2 people. Over 8 mins. Yeah it’s ok but nothing special. The only thing it seems to do well is aid in the removal of the Tyre.

@@elihautamaki547. You ever changed a tyre. Of course it’s the levers that contact the rim. I use the alloy RHK spoon type levers and don’t really have a problem but what I was getting at is that they try to make this thing out like it’s a game changer when it’s not. Still over 8 minutes and with someone else helping and handing you lever after lever after lever. Good for mooses and that’s about it, with the help of someone else.

20 Mins in my garden on the lawn three tyre levers and a 10mm spanner and three bead buddies piece of piss, Rabcondas are good but expensive and just take up room in the shed you don't need one

You got $200 worth of tyre levers .

To be fair, an M14 in a 110 is a bear to install and will be STIFF. I can do an M18 in a 110 in 3 minutes no problem and it works great for Enduro.

You ride motocross? Cause that bib will need to be beat to death to be soft enough for rocky Enduro racing. Mine had 30 hours and I still took slices out of it for a 110. M18 pops right in and is ready to get shreddy in an hour or three.

Moose cheaper

Eh, it helps but he still had to do a LOT of the work. Not sure it’s worth $500

" I can't do that, so we're bringing in an expert..." pass.

Shows it's a waste of money if you need £100 of tyre levers and 8 hands

I have this machine. He is perfect. Your work is bad. Tragedy. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the machine before you start shooting video.
