Yep, I just changed my tire yesterday and put on a new chain.





Oh and here's the mods I did to the tire iron, Tommy;

Piece of lotion bottle on the mounting side,





and a strip of bottle and some electrical tape on the demount side,





I warmed it up a little with a hair dryer and wrapped it right around. Once, I eliminated the fear of scratching my rims, I knocked my tire change time down 2/3s! I've looked at the aftermarket bars and they look great but this works and even if I had to redo it every tire change, which I don't (5th tire so far!), it would still be worth the $100 they want for a bar! Shit, I only paid $80 for the machine!
