does anyone in noco have a bead breaker and/or some tire irons and rim savers i could borrow either thursday evening or friday?

my new rear tire should be here tomorrow afternoon, and i also want to do a scooter tire for a friend who's needing theirs replaced badly (and is also broke like me, so im doing it for them for free)

I know how to change and balance it, but i don't have those tools :(. feel free to pm me, or call me if you can. my cell is 720-284-9669 and im more than happy to drive within the loveland/FoCo vicinity to pick up the tools, and will return them by Saturday morning by the latest.

You can use a vice to break the bead if you have access to one.

the vice idea is a good one though. i didn't think about that.

I ended up doing it myself with some tools i had laying around and some muscle, so its all done.
