At home:
On the trail, use the sidestand or tyre levers.
Used a mini 12v compressor last week in the Pyrenees to reseat both tubed & tubeless tyres after punctures & tyre swaps.

g-cramp
changed my treads and all went well. a mate of mine who works at ATS recomended spraying a lubricant around the beading before deflating the tyre and as it deflates it sucks the lubricant into the beading. i done this then walked over the tyre, after i inserted a tyre lever in with the handle of a screwdriver on the tyre wall to give more leverage. inserted a little more lubricant and off she popped after a little levering here and there but was'nt difficult.
the front tyre then i tried using the standard g-cramp and it just flew off no probs. both tyres were puncture free 4000km old karoo's.
so from now on i'll be carrying a stress free g-cramp and lubricant which i carry anyhow. thanks for your replies people..

Great tip DLbiten, so simple just using the side stand even if you have no centre stand this would work great. They do say you learn something every day.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
