Tire changer

IMHO the only tire changer worth having is a Coats 220 (unless of course you can afford one of the Coats big-rigs). I've had mine for over 18 years now and when I need replacement parts, no problem.

You should be able to find a new one for ~$700. Try scoping out your local larger bike shops. They often sell off older ones if they are moving up to more automated changers.

Love that floor - Is that standard tile?

It's your regular 12x12 white and black tile.

I assume it's in the garage. Have you had any trouble with the tile lifting under warm tires?

I need to do something for my flooring and have considered tile.

Man. I starting to think we need a "Show your Garage" thread.....
 
Actually that's my workshop. The garage is still unfinished. My usual practice is to use gray epoxy in the garage.

That's what I used in Boston, the Ben Moore Silicone based epoxy concrete stain.

Everything would just bead on it.
 
Coates model 220

Can you tell me Coates web site address. I tried to locate and I'm not having any luck.
 
Coats Manufacturing does not sell direct. You might try just searching on COATS 220 and you should come up with a couple of distributors/sellers.

Here is one I came across:
wikco.com

and the price seems about right since it looks like they include shipping. Good luck.
