Tire irons?

I changed mine myself. I'm no expert, but I bought two Tusk Sure Grip Tire Irons from Jake Wilson ($10 for the 12"), and two Tusk rim protectors ($6). I found that it would have been easier with at least three irons and one or two more protectors, but that's because I had zero experience. It took some time, a little exhaustive, but I'll do it again. So far, I love the Dyna Beads, they work great. Bike is as smooth at 10 mph as it is at 100 mph, and all in between.
Oh, and don't forget a spray bottle with light soapy water and Something bigger than a 1.5 hp, 3 gallon tank compressor. It worked great for the front tire, but couldn't budge the rear, but I tried. Good luck.

Would you get longer irons if you had to do it again?

I also use the harbor freight irons. They're a little big but work ok. For a stiff tire try putting it in a clear plastic garbage bag and leave it in the sun for a few hours. Softens it up a lot and makes it easier to put on.
