Whisky, my bad I missed your message,...
hf tire changer,....the 'motorcycle' tire changer part didn't work at all. The rod in the middle is too big to fit through the center. I strapped it down and it was just,...dumb. Now the bead breaker on the bottom is absolutely amazing! That part made it all worth it to me. I'd fought with tires before and using the bead breaker makes everything smooth. After breaking the beads, I use some spoons on the floor and off/on pretty easy.
Not sure on the triple. If the stem is a little longer then the bearings/races will fit with some encouragement.
Thanks redvader! Where's yours? Need to see some pics!?
