I was really hesitant to buy it. For the price, it's quite expensive for the perceived amount you're getting. I change the tires on my Harley touring bike by hand. I just changed a rear tire and use Windex soap to put tires on. I really struggled with that. So I decided to try this beadbuster lube. I also bought a tire wiper. Then I swapped the front wheel (same size as the rear wheel but they are different frames as the rear wheel takes more load). I dampened a swab with water and ran it over the top of the bidbuster glass. Beadbuster has a consistency similar to petroleum jelly and when I wiped off the wet tampon it took me a while to apply some Beadbuster to the tampon. I rubbed the tire bead and literally screwed the tire into the rim! No tools required! I put the tube in the tire and as always it was a struggle. Then place the swab with the Beadbuster on the last bead of the tire. I used tire shovels to put it on and thought ok, now I get to the part where it's always tricky because it gets too tight at the last moment. slip! It went on like it was going straight home! I was so surprised! Never before has there been such a simple exchange. I am 65 years old. This is the end of my 52nd year as a motorcyclist, I'm used to racing/pit crews and changing tires by hand all the time. I'm worn out and have had my tires changed at local shops, but replacements cost $50 or more. So while I can't do it anymore, I'm doing it again at home. Much easier to use Beadbuster! Another tool that is very helpful is the Motion Pro Spoons. They really help break the pearl.
