It is the perfect tool for working on tires in your shop or at trackside. The Tire Station is extremely sturdy with a welded steel tube construction and powder coated for durability. The Tire Station provides a secure platform for working on wheels and is designed to hold and protect a common 5-10 gallon air tank so you have a ready source of compressed air.

The Motion Pro Tire Station is designed for just this purpose. Whether you are checking spokes or changing tires, the first thing you need is a place to put your wheel where you can work on it comfortably and securely. Both universal wrenches come in sets of two (smaller and larger versions) but you can get away with carrying just the small 4-IN-1 and the large Snap N Grip.Motion Pro has a ton of tools and accessories to make working on the wheels of your bike simple and easy. The Snap N Grip is a universal wrench good for larger applications, like axle nuts. It’s a box-end, ratcheting wrench for 8, 10, 12, and 13 mm sizes that takes up the space of one standard wrench and weighs only 9 ounces (255 grams). The Craftsman 4 IN 1 is great for the smaller nuts and bolts common to dual sport and adventure bikes. And when your riding buddy has a problem in the middle of nowhere, their problem becomes your problem. While you may be diligent enough to pack every sized wrench that fits on your bike, you can’t always be assured your riding buddies will do the same. Having a set of universal wrenches will allow you to handle a variety of different sized bolts you might find on a bike.
Universal WrenchesĤ-IN-1 Ratcheting Wrenches – $29.99, Snap N Grip Universal Wrenches – $11.26 The Leatherman Wave weighs in at a petite 8.5 ounces (241 grams), and could save your bacon, or cut it up into bite-sized pieces.
Many of the bigger tools, including the three-inch knife blade, are accessible without opening the tool. Leatherman’s most popular model, the Wave is a compact, handheld toolbox featuring 17 things you might need for trailside repairs including pliers (needle nose and regular pliers), files, wire strippers, a saw, etc. It weighs a little more, but it’s powerful and costs about half as much as the MotoPumps unit. For a cheaper option without all the features, try the Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator. It weighs 18 ounces (510 grams) and can crank out 50 PSI. The MotoPumps Mini Pro is designed for bikes with features such as 10 feet of power cord, a combo cigarette/BMW/SAE connector, a coiled air hose to save space, an LED work light, and a backlit pressure gauge you can see at night. But if you’ve got a bike with a 12-volt plug, a mini air compressor makes pumping up your tires a whole lot faster. Some riders swear by the lightweight and simplicity of bicycle pumps, others like the ease and convenience of Co2 cartridges.

Some people insist on a new tube every time they get a puncture but if you don’t have that luxury, Slime’s time-tested patch kit has everything you need: pre-cut patches, a small grater to rough up the tube, and rubber cement. You take the wheel off the bike, break the bead, and pull out the tube. The Dynaplug comes in several variations, but the Pro puts everything you need in one small package, making it the best choice for riders. Pre-load the tool before you pull out a nail out of your tire, for example, and you won’t even lose much air.
Just load a brass-tipped plug into the tool, insert it into the puncture, pull the tool out and you’re done. For tubeless tires, the Dynaplug Pro is quick, easy and very compact. How you repair your flats depends on whether you have tubeless or tube-type tires. Tire Repair kitsĭynaplug Pro Tubeless Patch Kit – $53.99 Slime Tube Patch Kit – $4.33 Motion Pro also makes a forged steel version which are more durable and a little longer, but we recommend the aluminum BeadPro Bead Breakers for carrying on the bike. At just 9 ounces (255 grams) a set and 9.8″ (249 mm) long each, the forged 7075-T6 Aluminum BeadPro levers are sized for carrying in your tool kit. Flip them around and spoon the tire off just like a regular set of levers. Just slip one of the BeadPros inside the other, squeeze, and you’ll (usually) conquer the most reluctant bead.
Motion Pro’s BeadPro levers combine tire spoons on one end with a unique bead breaker on the other. And on larger adventure bikes, repairing a tire often involves breaking a very stubborn bead. Ride long enough and you will get a flat. Below are 10 essential tools that will help ensure you are prepared for nearly any situation on an Adventure Ride.
