tyres
Hi Alex
There's too much to tell here about tyrechanging. There are good books on this available. Far, far better, is to come to Lumb Farm this summer where there is an excellent tyre changing class - hands on experience. Better than 10 books. The HUBB will save you from roadside problems! Good roads

I think about small tire clamp. I have looked for it in Louis, Heingeriche, etc but did not succeed.

Rear tyre removal
Alex,
I have used two methods to remove a tyre on the road. 1. Remove the wheel and lay it down on a solid surface. Stand with your one foot as close to the rim as you can and bounce on the tyre. This should loosen it from the rim. 2. Find a piece of wood like a two by four with a flat end with no splinters and put this on the tyre close to the rim. You then hit it with another piece of wood or a rock and this will also seperate the tyre from the rim. After the above you only require two small tyre levers or two pieces of flat bar to remove the tyre from the rim completely. One suggestion is to put some soapy water on the edges of the tyre when pulling it off or putting it back on. Regards Frank

bead breaker
Alex,
I think you mean a 'bead breaker' Here is a portable one I found on the internet. http://www.pitposse.com/potibebr.html This is the old-fashion way  :http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/bead-...ad-breaker.htm After you break the bead, regular tire irons should get the tire off the rim. Be careful not to pinch the tube like I do... Chris

Wheel on the side, use the side-stand of the bike and its weight to 'break' the bead.

bead breaker
Excuse me for my poor english. Certainly I have meant a bead breaker )). Thanks Chris.The first method Ironbutt said is not successful for knobby 140/80-17 tire. Mine 75 kg are not enough )). The method with lever was tried by me. It is more effective but not everywhere I can find a lever. I think the Portable Tire Bead Breaker Chris said is useful thing.
Thanks Alex.
