WHEELS

Mavericks trail stand and beadbrakers with spoons

I always bring this tire kit with me. I’ve tried going with the small travel spoons alone but depending on the tire, there just isn’t enough leverage so you end up wrecking your hands. After many installs, this is the kit I ended up with.

The BeadPro do an excellent job of breaking the bead, when you use them correctly, and the full size spoons give you the leverage needed for stiff tires.

The mavericks trail jack is a new addition. I saw it in action when my brother in law had two flats in a row. Something like this is a must if you don’t have a center stand. It provides another point of support to get the tire off the ground.
