New for 2009, the New & Improved LockBar for the BeadBrakR kit!
We've had a lot of experience when it comes to changing tires, repairing tubes, and replacing valve stems. One particularly difficult task is holding the sidewall open (away from the rim), while we fitted a new tube or installed a new valve stem. What we needed was some type of levering device that we could hook on the sidewall of the tire, and lift the sidewall away from the rim so we had room for our fingers.
We discovered that if we made a few minor modifications to the current LockBar design, we could convert the TireIron BeadBrakR into a sidewall levering tool. The old design is shown at left, the new design at right.
As of July 2009, this New Lock-Bar is now included with ALL BeadBrakR kits ordered from this web site.
You only need to order this if you are ordering a TireIron BeadBrakR.
This part is a retrofit if you have an older kit with the straight lock bar.
