Tire changing stand

[roostafish]

Has anyone seen the video of Jeff Fredette's work period from the ISDE off of GoFasters website? He has an amazing jig to do tire changing on. I'm wonderingif anyone knows what that is, and where I can get one?

p.s. Went and looked at the video - looks like a custom made piece - the ring is an old rim, etc. Nicely done.

Fredette's tire changing stand is a custom one that he built for himself. Jeff has a modest machine shop at his shop where he works on motorcycle after market fabricating ideas in his spare time (think Fredette chain guide.)

Jeff's a very accessible guy and a phone call to him at his shop in Beecher, IL, could answer a lot of questions on the tire changers availability.

Offroadchampions.com makes an awesome stand. I have one of them and it's by far the best I've used. Metzeler makes one too, but I'm not a huge fan (it's not quite big enough for front wheels).

Eff,

Not to highjack the thread, but I am also a huge fan of the bucket! The sprocket and brake rotor fit great......

That's the one I use.
A bucket won't cut it for Bibs.

I've actually looked at alot of these stands. I've decided that I want one that is on the ground and not elevated, because I'll be doing tire balls, and I'll need all the torque I can get from my huge 160 pound body I can get.

A call to Jeff Fredette is probably a good idea. I also have a machine shop available to me, so I could probably copy his with reasonable ease if I had some sort of plan.
