Tyre changing machine is now a joy to use
When Manchester Bloodbikes' essential motorcycle tyre changing machine needed a repair, ABSSAC not only supplied the necessary parts, but also enhanced the original design by using trapezoidal threads instead of standard threaded bar.

ABSSAC was proud to have assisted the dedicated volunteers at Manchester Bloodbikes, and supplied the necessary, high-quality, custom made lead screws and nuts at no charge. The result is a machine that's not just repaired, but fundamentally improved.
The team at Manchester Bloodbikes was thrilled with the upgrade, and their feedback speaks for itself: "The improvement is such that last Thursday I received a call that our patrol bike had a nail in the rear tyre at 20:00 hrs. The bike was 30 miles away. I told the rider to bring me the bike and I would repair it while he had a cup of tea. He arrived at 22:00 and left again at 23:00. The tool is now confidence inspiring and a joy to use."
The new lead screws from ABSSAC provided the reliable clamping action the machine had been missing, turning a critical repair into a quick, confident, and efficient process.
Whether you need a simple part or a complex custom solution, ABSSAC is committed to providing precision engineering that makes a real difference.
