Mousse Changer  Empty Mousse Changer

Post by mufynman Wed Apr 22, 2015 9:46 pm

After what must be my 5th puncture this year , finally decided to get some mousses and find out whether they will be the best decision I've made for a while , or a waste of time and money . Said "3 minute Tyre Changer" on the box . Well , either my watch was running slow , or my technique needs some polishing . Anyway - job finally achieved with cut knuckles and a plum on my forehead . Sure it'll be easier next time !!

It gets easier with practice , i got a scorpion changer hand made by the Rowlands boys in mid wales , use plenty of lube and take your time , worth getting a bead buddy from ebay (£7 ish ) to help or you could have asked wifey or Junior Muffyman to do it for you ! cheers

Get the shop to fit it where you buy your tyres from, Wont get an easier than that lol!
You,l probably find them hard to start with especially the front.
But if you cant get on with them I,l have first dibs if you want to flog them Very Happy

Hope your ok Rob, seen that happen a few times before, it's was tho the funniest thing I've seen for ages .
You have had more punctures in 1year than I've had in 15 .
So I understand why, I just use heavy duty tubes and run them at 15 rear and 12 front .
