Motion Pro's "Bead Buddy"
by Keith Ratchford

 

Not everyone has a factory ride so most people spend a lot of time changing tires, and if you have any time commitments such as school or work, time spent working on your bike is time lost riding. Enter Motion Pro and their Bead Buddy to help you get that tire changed and back on the track. 

The Bead Buddy provides that third hand that you can always use while working those tire irons. When you are installing a tire, simply hook it on a spoke and it holds the tire on the rim while you work the tire iron around the rim towards the Bead Buddy. 

Instead of the tire popping off the rim on one end as you put it on the other end, the tire stays in place on the rim and lets you use two hands to get the job done. Motion Pro also says it will help in removal by forcing the tire down in the rim center and making it easier to get the tire iron in. As far as removal goes I don't have much problem with that and I didn't find the Bead Buddy did much, it shined on the installation end of things. Now, if you are already the master of the tire change you probably won't find a Bead Buddy helps you that much but if you are struggling a bit with those tires I say get one for sure, every bit helps and it looks trick in the toolbox.

 

Keith Ratchford is a pretty cool guy from New Brunswick who races Intermediate and Vet in the CMRC Atlantic region.

CGIWrap Error: Script Execution Failed
CGIWrap Error: Script Execution Failed

CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:

Error Message: Permission denied
Error Number: 13
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. This is typically a problem if the script was edited or uploaded from a DOS/Windows/Macintosh station to a unix based server.

If you are not the owner of this script, please forward this error and the URL that caused it to the script owner. That is often the component in the URL right after /cgiwrap/.
