Tire (tyre) removal
 
I borrowed a friends tire repair kit, made by www.tyrepliers.com.au. to replace my spare tires. Breaking the bead on my BMW tubeless rims was still difficult, but acheivable (use lots of soapy water). Even the tire irons were better than my standard ones. The only disadvantage I can see is the thing's length, otherwise it worked well. I guess I'll end up getting one.

Hi
A quick way to break the bead if there are two of you travilling together is two take the wheel off the bike and put it under the side-stand of the other bike letting the weight of the other bike push the tyre off the bead you may have to turn the wheel a couple of times, this helps a lot if you only have small tyre irons.

tyrepliers make a beadbreaker for just the problem you had breaking tubeless beads
