Innova Longarm Removable Crank Handle MechSavvy 2020-11-25 | Innova Longarm Removable Crank Handle. Handles are held firmly in place when in use by magnets. You can remove and store in their holder (not shown) when not in use to get them out of the way. The hubs can be added to the right side where the roller locks are (normal location), or added to the left side as shown for added flexibility. I showed them on the left side in this video because it's just easier to photograph that side in my room. The hubs are trivial to install, and the hubs come wth a high end hand driver for the screws. This driver will also fit your machine's screws, like the handlebar adjusters for example. Contact zenletter@gmail.com to purchase.
Olmaxmotors Motorcycle Tire Changing Machine and Balancer - Review MechSavvy 2020-09-09 | This is a 19 minute owner-perspective review and demonstration of the Olmaxmotors tire machine. In this video I change and balance a rear, change a front tire and offer my critique and conclusions about this machine - Click SHOW MORE:(Spoiler: it's the best option out there).For PC viewers, there is a clickable timestamp index below. For questions about this product, leave a comment, I'll answer if I can. If you have off-topic questions or input, about things other than this specific tire machine or this review specifically, use my email address (zenletter@gmail.com). If anyone decides to get the machine and is influenced by this video, I'd be grateful it you mention it to Olmaxmotors at the time of ordering. Decide if you need the longer stop pin or not. He will know your expectations from the video.Links and resources for this video:Manufacturer: http://www.olmaxmotors.plMachine and Balancer Kit:http://www.olmaxmotors.pl/index.php/angebote/reifenmontiergeraet-auswuchtgeraete-tire-langer-wheel-balancerTire Lube: My personal preferred tire lube is the liquid: “Murphy's Concentrated Extra Slippery Tire And Tube Mounting Compound”. They also have paste compounds. My personal preference is the liquid because it goes on easier and dries like it was never there. I use both types in the video.jtmproductsinc.net/murphys_extraslippery.phpI have a review of the tire lube forthcoming.Add-ons: In the video you will see I had a few add-ons for my machine. They are not *necessary* to operate the machine, but they are improvements.. 1. I added a felt pad to the underside of the bead breaker. This is just a normal furniture leg pad available at any big box home improvement store for pennies.2. I made my own longer wheel stop post. Olmaxmotors says they will make longer posts available, at least for users who have offset spoke wheels like those on the single sided swing arm Ducati’s. I just got an inexpensive 16mm x 300mm shaft off Amazon and added a piece of 16mm ID heater hose from the local O'rileys auto parts store.3. I designed and produce bead spacers. You can order from me if you would like a set. Use the email above to contact me. Here is a link to an unedited video clip showing the bead spares in use. They make getting the tire bead to fall into the center easy, and they work very well. Some users have reported using sets on the top and bottom beads for really stiff tires, but I only use them on top, after breaking the lower bead.Spacer Use On Dismount (unedited/raw)youtu.be/3gawOEKsRiE4. I also designed and made my own nut “spinners” for the bead breaker adjusters. Olmaxmotors says they have new nuts on the current machines that spin freely. My add-on knurled thumbwheel “spinners” allow easier hand tightening of the nuts. You can order from me if you would like a set. Use the email above to contact me.5. I added a quick release pin in lieu of the M10 screw used for the bead breaker arm. This is really unnecessary but it looks nice and is easier to handle than the screw/nut. I got it form eBay, Search for “L Handle Ball Lock Bolts Quick Release” It’s a 10mm pin, 50mm long.6. Finally, I found the main shaft a little difficult to tighten without scarring it from vice grips for example. The shaft is left-hand threaded so it will not come out in normal use since you always go counterclockwise. But I preferred mine tighter so I added flats to the end of the shaft. Those can be seen in the video and are not stock, yet. I have recommended adding those flats to Olmaxmotors for their consideration.
