Motorcycle tyre changers
A tyre changer helps with the sometimes tricky task of removing a tyre from a wheel. Simply place the tyre on to the circular section, screw the bolt to press on the centre of the rim, apply the tyre removal tool and press the lever down. This tool then slips underneath the tyre, separating it from the wheel.
For something even smaller that's perfect for garages with less available space, an Abba Stand Pro uses a different method of removal. The wheel is held in play by a bolt whilst a curved section is applied to the tyre to separate it from the wheel.
Or, choose a larger wheel changer that can handle wheels of almost any size. These large units hold the tyre higher with a bolt that keeps it firmly in place. Once the tyre is secure, you pull out the long tyre removal stick and pry apart the tyre from the wheel. These are suited to larger, thicker wheels that need more power when removing the tyre.
Motorcycle wheel balancers
Perfect for carrying out routine checks, a motorcycle wheel balancer lets you check the heaviest point of a motorcycle wheel. If your wheels are uneven, it can affect your steering and, in extreme cases, can be very dangerous.
Choose a compact Sealey wheel balancer that uses gravity to find the heaviest point of the whole wheel. Simply put the metal pole section through the centre of the rims to see where the heaviest part of the wheel is.
