Tire Spoons

Lee R · 03-14-2016, 10:04 AM

Anyone have a recommendation for tire spoons? I've got a few old ones but am looking for some with wrench ends for the axle nuts to cut down the amount of tools to carry.

Something like the set below is what I'm looking at.

Those are it, buy. I hate when they give the price then find out they want 15 to ship

. Not sure in this instance, just saying.

motion pro bead breakers (the ends are now rounded so they make good spoons too)

I think you are looking for a tire iron with a wrench on the end? I usually employ crescent wrenches when removing the axles, so I don't remember the size of the axle nuts.

Motion Pro, T6 tire levers are popular.

If you can't find the correct size wrenches, their are other alternatives from DRC, BTO Sports, et cetera.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Spud, you're correct, I was looking for wrench end spoons.

Just trying to cut down on the tools onboard. I need to practice changing tube tires!

It's 19mm on the nut side, and 18mm on the bolt head. And 19mm on the front nut.

(Is there supposed to be a pin or something on the front axle?)

Now I remember the sizes.

No, the front axle does not utilize a pin. I place a screwdriver into the hole to help pull the front axle from the wheel.

DRC sells a tire spoon with a 19 mm wrench. It is DRC part #D59-10-919.

Considering just getting a wrench of each size, and hammer forging some spoons on each end.

Or I can just keep using my titanium spoons, and continue to carry the two sockets in my tool bag. (which is obviously lighter than two separate wrenches)

I took an old Crescent wrench and ground the handle flat to use as a tire spoon. That along with a regular tire spoon is all I've ever needed.
