Kaurit Moto Tire Mounting Tool TMT4
 
Last fall, I bought a TMT4 from Kaurit Moto in Estonia.

A very impressive tool. I have friends using the well proven Rabaconda and I also own another, simpler variant, but for my use, the TMT4 is the one I prefer.

It is very well designed and (nice at my age) provides a working height that means that I don't have to work on the floor to change tires anymore.

It is mainly presented as a mousse changer, but I use it with mousses, tubes and the T-lock system. It works very well for all kinds. It is adjustable regarding tire size, and can be used all the way down to 10". However, I have only used it with 18, 19 and 21" rims so far.

I think I have changed 10-15 tires on it so far, and am very pleased.

Kaurit Moto has a set of videos, here is one that shows TMT4 in use

the tool looks a bit more substantial than the baja no-pinch tool

I presume the Baja tool is a copy of the original TMT. Yes, TMT is very substantial and is a nice part of the TMT4 kit. The complete TMT4 setup impresses me, although I started out with the TMT "pushing rod" alone at first. After a year using that, I bought the complete adjustable TMT4 frame with the foot-operated lever that controls the arm that pushes the tire up and / or down from the rim's edge.

That looks real nice. I put it on my wish list about 18 months ago, maybe I will get one in October.:D

Man that thing is nice, I really like that setup. The Kaurit was the nicest of all the machines I came across when I was looking for a mousse "machine" last year, but it was a bit out of my budget. I ended up buying a "Unit e1410" which seemed to closely match my wants/needs. Unfortunately since I haven't been riding, neither have most of my friends, so I still haven't used the thing! I may still buy the Kaurit TMT (just the bead pusher) down the road.

Anders from your experience with it until now do you thing is any good for tyre changes while in tubliss system?

Anders 02-13-2017 12:38 AM

Yes, I use it with my T-Lock equipped wheels. T-Lock is quite similar to Tubliss. I find the TMT4 very useful in that situation also.
