TTR Dual Sport Tires

I always wondered why they cost 1k, that makes way for sense.  Thanks Hank.

I ordered a Baja no pinch also.  I'm going to give it a try.

For the record I have not ordered a Baja no-pinch yet. I think I am probably in the minority.

I did change a couple tires this evening though. I almost ran out of Windex but other than that things went pretty well. 150/70-17's are a pain to change. I did not pinch either tube so I am rewarding myself with a couple cold beers now.

Jim, you should have called.  I would've brought it over and let you use it, and then I could drink your beer!

Well I didn't know that you had the tool until last night. Should've known though, you like tools.

I'm in there with you....

Interesting... apparently Baja No Pinch copied (some would say ripped off) the tool from a company in Estonia.

Since there was no U.S. patent, I guess it was technically legal to copy the design... oh well.

I've been changing my tires with only the tools I carry on the trail just so I can learn to do it the first time without pinching a tube........I am NOT GOOD. But getting better. I have new tires ready to go on the DR and the wifes CRF. Let the cursing begin. When I get good and practiced up, I might order one of those for the shop.

It's just never fun. I've changed a few over the years, and if there's an easy way (on the shoulder, in the mud, 95 degrees on the freeway), it's yet to be discovered.

New tires are on the DR,.....did not have to buy two new tubes. Victory is mine.
