change tire while traveling

[al v]

Has any figured out a simple way to lift the bike while traveling if you needed to pull a wheel to get a tire changed or change a wheel bearing?

With a pull behind trailer, just wondering if there are any solutions. I'm thinking a full size lift would be too much. So short of that, has any one figured out a light weight solution/technique that packs well.

Prior to having a trailer, I have relied on and used my progressive insurance towing service to get to a shop.

Dont have one but I know a Texan who changed a tire in Alaska that does

+1 on that Texan who, unlike everything else in Texas, is not so big anymore.

I have read that in an emergency, the bike can be laid over on it's side and the tire pulled and changed.

This sounds pretty tricky on the rear... pulling out the axle (among other things).  I carry extra tools, but not sure if I'd have everything I would need.

Outside of tire repair you can do on the bike, you won't have a spare tire, and will still have to get one, somewhere.

Since I got my centerstand years ago, I've never used a lift to change/pull the rear wheel. The c/s stand puts the wheel a couple inches off the ground and that's all that's needed once you pull the rear half of the fender. In my shop I usually pull everything off the back; bags, rails, shocks, etc.  Gives you a chance for some good cleaning and makes rear end service a breeze.
