at $110, and depending on how much you ride, i'd start looking into a way to change my own tires. i snooped around youtube, and aside from picking up a $1000 tire changing tool, you can easily get something less fancy, such as a harbor freight tire changer for $100 bucks and do some modification to it so it wont scratch up your rim as easily. Of course it might take you 15minutes to change the tire yourself vs 2minutes. Or you can find a group of friends who want to chip in on a tire changer. it'll pay for itself in no time. just a thought.

Got a Northern tool(1/2 step up from Harbor frt)  46mm, worked once, second time(torqued to specs first time- must not have used enough grease) it ringed off. got a craftsman 1 5/8 and w/ a rattle gun - got it off.
Damn under slung caliper(S2R 1K).
Pay for shipping, you can have the northern junk for free.

My mechanic charges less if I take in the wheel off,  have him change and balance the tire, and then I put it back on myself.  With the SSS its a no brainer to take the rear tire off yourself because its just one nut and no balancing issues...Gotta take advantage of that rear stand.  The front tire is a different story but I don't have a front stand so it doesn't matter.

 This should be in the "how to" section.

Doesnt' do much for those with SSS though does it? Since there's no axle to remove, or bearings in the wheel......

$105 isnt a bad price considering it looks to be the same as the universal tool. So you could use it on other bikes as well.
