“Tubeless” Tire Change OK – Bead Rises. Makita Cordless Air Pump MP181DZ

120/70-17 & 160/60-17 – I tested them with Dunlop Alpha 14 (*´з`)

Both turned out OK.
And the front 120/70-17 bead rose even with the valve stem installed.

This might be a lifesaver for DIY tire changes.

Well, you don’t really need to read it – it’s just images of what’s written above.

Alpha 14 120/70-17 – I tried inflating it with the valve stem installed.

I didn’t measure the time, but I’d say it’s somewhere between 1-2 minutes??
I’ll check next time (;’∀’)

For the rear, I removed the valve stem because I thought it wouldn’t rise if I wasn’t careful enough.

The tire expanded nicely, so it was incredibly easy.
I bet it would handle 180/55-17 or so without any problem either.

Good news for DIY work? Buy one, then buy another. That’s the Makita way (*´ω`*)
