Matt I use a set of aussie tyrepliers with two small home made adapter plates to suit my bike (ktm 950 this bike has the worst rear tyre bead retainer of them all believe me its a killer) however with the tyre pliers and three 6 inch levers I can break the bead in 3 to 4 mins remove the tyre in about 4 or 5 mins the beadbreaker tool is excellent - with practice !. it weighs very little and is easy to tie wrap onto the bike i keep mine under the seat pan above the rear wheel never know it was there. I am not so far from Edinburgh (Alnwick) if you want to try this out or look at it let me know and we will arrange a meet up and you can have a try before you buy so to speak.
