Review on 🏍️ Effortless Bead Breaking: Black Widow BW-2065 Motorcycle & Trailer Wheel Bead Breaker by John Talcott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tire Change Required

What literally took me over 2 hours and a gallon of sweat with just tire shovels took 15 minutes max with a Black Widow bead breaker and 4 spoons. Also, I cut open an old garden hose to put spoons on it to protect the rim, which worked really well. What also worked for me is that after removing the valve stem core and spraying lube around the bead, I cracked the bead. first place, inserted a spoon at that point to the right of the breaking tool, rotated the track to a point to the left of the first spoon, broke the bead at that point, and inserted another spoon. I did this until all 4 spoons were in place, which took up about 1/4 of the tire, then I started prying the tire starting with the first spoon. How bloody easy it was compared to not using a bead breaker. The bead breaker is only $70 but is a really reliable tool. The only thing I did with it was glue rubber feet to it and fill in the gaps in the lever handle with nylon washers. The total cost of additional services was less than $5.
