- Hello everyone and welcome back in my channel.
A long-planned, long-awaited and time-consuming video, a review of equipment that caught my eye some time ago and I did everything I could to test it. We are, of course, talking about the Rabaconda Street bike tire changer. In this video, I will show you this equipment, I will test it, show how it works and tell you whether it is worth buying. I invite you to watch and comment, all news and links related to this equipment can be found below.

Actually a very good video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Looks like a great piece of kit Andy. Well done on learning and demonstrating simultaneously...not easy, but gives us a real sense of how easy it might be for us to give it a go. Definitely looked a lot easier than when you did it 100% manually going back a few years. Well done Andy and Rabaconda !
I remembered that too! With rhe right equipment, it’s so much easier! Great job Andy 👌💪
Not bad for the first time 🤜
But on a cost per tyre basis it is expensive. How many tyres will you need to change to make it the same as just going to a tyre fitter and let them do it? Also old tyres have to be paid for when disposing of the tyres too so you still have to pay someone or a tyre fitter to take your old tyres.. I jus had two tyres fitted at a local dealer for £20, with the cost here in the UK for a Rabaconda at £485.00 plus shipping that would be 25 sets of tyres and then disposal of the old tyres would still cost me £125 to dispose of those 25 sets of tyres. How many sets of tyres does the average biker use a year?
Thought the same as you. This would great for someone doing regular tyre changes, or maybe to provide the service to local biker's where there's no nearby bike garage.
@@PAUL-yv2kk but then if you do it on a regular basis you would get a more professional piece of equipment which is less physical.. It is good but sits in a place where it is a luxury item for those who have the best but don't care about the cost and the off road and racers who do a lot of tyre changes but are not on a budget.
@YAMR1M Yes,it's got a niche I think. Another benefit I guess is that it packs away really small if your workspace is limited. Nice to know it's even an option 👍
Local recycling site takes my car/bike tyres for free. Remember not to turn up in a van though..... .
This equipment is not for everyone, if someone changes tires once every 3 years and doesn't like messing with their motorcycle, you're absolutely right. I change tires once a year, so theoretically speaking, it is not profitable for me as well, but I love playing mechanic, and after each visit to the dealer and changing tires, I find some shortcomings in the work and I hate that. So, in short, this is not an advertisement for equipment for everyone, it is a review of equipment that is expensive, but I personally think it is worth the price due to the quality of workmanship and ease of use. Whether you want to buy it depends only on you. I think it's an expensive but very nice toy for true enthusiasts who love garage gadgets. Be safe..
Hi, what about tire balance?
You have to balance on the balancer 😁 this video is about tire changer how to balance tires will be in another video
