             To brake to bead on the trail with tire levers...
              
            
            
           push both levers between the rim/bead on top of each other then force a spanner/screw driver between them & you can use them like plires to force the bead away from the rim... You can buy tires levers that fit togeather to make bead brakeing plires... tubeless rims & DR650 rims can be a real pain in the a$$ to brake the bead seal...

             I changed the rear Trailmax for a Tkc today , it was a pain to break the bead and had to use clamps ..
              
            
            
            
            Then had to take it out to see what it rode like  
            I done around 30 miles and they seem to handle quite well on the road for the type of tyre they are . Last edited by Locky; 12-01-14 at 22:26. Reason: spelling error  |

            Tyres for XT660Z 
             
           
             The best rear tyre that I`ve used and still prefer , is a Mitas E09 140/17 Rear and a C19 Mitas front , for off road.
              
            
            
           I use the same rear tyre always ,but change the front tyre for riding to work in the week with a Michalin Karoo 3 , awesome road holding , wet or dry tar roads/ And do all the tyre changes myself with my own Beadmasters. http://youtu.be/RWH3PRgjOKM
