  • How does the ‪@Rabaconda‬ "Street Tire Changer" stack up to the Nomar tire changer or a full hydraulic tire changing machine? It's light compact and portable, but how does it really work and what tips and tricks do you need to know for it to work right? Is it worth the money?
    I've been using my Rabaconda Street Tire Changer for my last 10 or so tire changes and have the full scoop on the quality, portability, and ease of use. I've used it at the track and even right before a race for mixed weather conditions.
    I can confirm it does work. It works well, sets up in a minute, and I love that I can use it anywhere. There are definitely some specific tricks to know to get your tire changes rolling smoothly. Tune in to find out more!

    Another great video. I just changed my first tire with the Rabaconda. It's way easier and faster. I was just using spoons before. I bought the Rabaconda after watching a previous video on this channel along with some others. I have 3 bikes and ride about 25K miles a year. So this makes total sense for me and others like me.

    I just changed a tire on my bike at home and what a pain. This isn't a cheap tool, but I have 7 bikes so I think in the long run it will be worth it.

    Good demonstration. Don't agree with putting tire lube on the mating surface of the bead. Not only unnecessary, can contribute to tire spin, at least on a race bike. In my experience only a very small amount of lube is needed, if any, on the back side of the bead and none on the rim. The back side is what might need help to get over the rim and a delrin or similar duckbill will slide just fine against the tire without lube.
    I ended up with a No-Mar because they were available quickly at the time, otherwise would have purchased this Rabaconda. The No-Mar works fine, but the portability of the Rabaconda is hard to beat, and the ratcheting feature is really attractive. I'm still fairly slow with the No-mar but getting faster. No fault of the No-Mar, just my (lack of) technique. Your setup seems like it would make for faster changes.

    Nomar works best for all around changing. Nothing beats automatic

    The falling out of that metal shim off the tire when you ratchet is a horrible design.

    Really trying to weigh the rabaconda against the no mar

      I've used both. I'd recommend trying both and it should be an easy decision. Nomar is heavy and bulky and doesn't travel nearly as well as the Rabaconda. For me that's worth it with the portability alone. Nomar you can break beads easier with downward force. Rabaconda breaks beads best once you learn the technique. Apart from that the Rabaconda makes tire changes easier and can be done literally anywhere which the nomar can't do. It was an easy decision for me, but try them yourself and see!

      I have used a friends No-Mar tire machine several times and bought myself a Rabaconda Street Bike tire machine. I find the Rabaconda to be even easier to use than the No-Mar due to the ratchet mechanism for the duck head. Another thing I really like about the Rabaconda is the portability. It all goes in an easy to carry bag so I can go anywhere and change a tire. The only thing that I can suggest you buy besides the basic tire machine is the small tire locating rod, 2 drop center tools and the tub of Rabaconda tire changing grease. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase of this system.
