Tyre change machine
Anyone got one collecting dust in the corner of their workshop?
I am after the pneumatic/manual type made by Sealy or Blue Point etc.

not for sale but got one off fleabay a while ago, been a godsend. It is the manual version, but you def need the proper tub of paste as well.
Be warned, would not recommend for ali wheels. The process is a bit rough.....
but I guess if you bought protected tyre levers it may be OK?

It can be pretty aggressive on alloys but you can get tyre leavers with nice rotating nylon parts which are much kinder!
You do need tyre soap on but more to help seat the beads than fit the tyres!
