VX'rs,

I have taken a few pics of the tools I use to change my own tires. 
Anyone who's interested, email me and I'll send 'em along.

I can remove most tubeless tires without tire irons, although some tires 
require a little encouragement when being installed. Many times I can 
install 'em without tools.

Still haven't figured out where all the money went that I've saved over 
the years...

Attached are the pix I mentioned. Not cinema quality, and the equipment 
is...simple (don't say improvised, OK? Even if it is <g>).

I'll answer your individual questions in another email.
