| The Next Gen Tire Lever | Bike Tire Levers | Tyre Tool for Bicycles | for All Tire Widths Including Mountain, Road & Gravel Bikes

I've never changed a bike tire before, but trying to get a quieter tire on my Jamis Hudson Sport cruiser for use on my bike trainer since it gets pretty loud at faster and harder levels. After watching the inventor and reviewers on youtube, it was as easy as they say and showed. My arthritic digits and wrists made short work of the entire process with this amazing tool. My tube was never in any danger either. I somehow got the brakes out of sorts, and the process of figuring that out took longer than the tire swap!! Tire swap was a 10 minute job, but getting the brakes back right was 30 odd minutes. Well worth the nominal charge IMHO.

I've removed and remounted many bike tires, but I couldn't get my new tires mounted on my road bike wheels. Perhaps my hand strength is not what it used to be, but even using traditional tire irons, soapy water for lubrication, and a lot of cursing, I couldn't get the last few inches of the tire bead over the rim. After some YouTube research and reading reviews, I decided to try the Tyre Glider. Followed the video tutorial, and it took about two minutes to install my very tight-fitting tire. Being able to use my body weight to push on the tool instead of trying to roll the tire with my thumbs or pry with a tire iron made a wonderful difference- Victory!!I was worried that, while a stronger bike mechanic could probably mount the tire, I wanted to be able to repair a flat out on the road by myself. The Tyre Glider is small enough to fit in my jersey pocket or seat bag- so it will become a part of my road tool kit.Seems to be well made, did not scratch my rims, easy to use. Hopefully, I won't need it often, but nice to know that I can fix a flat when far from home! Highly recommended!

So easy to install/remove tires now that I literally threw away every other tire lever that I had. Be careful that you don't catch your TPU tubes with this guy though! I cut up a TPU tube on accident but that learning curve fixed itself. HIGHLY recommend getting one or two of these to have around. Small enough to put in a bike bag and just so easy to pull a tire or install a tire. For reference I use these on Continental GP-5000 clinchers and can put a tire on in seconds nearly one handed.

I've had a terrible time fitting the tires on my gravel bike (after a puncture - I use tubes) to the point of breaking tire levers.I ordered the tire Glider in desperation because, if I get a puncture while out riding, I would be stranded and unable to refit the tire.I tried the Glider and did manage to refit the tire although I still used liquid soap to help.Because everything has to be tubeless these days it makes it very difficult to remount the tire on today's rims.I don't know how many people have this issue but I have work on my bikes for decades and never had such trouble until recently.I would have given the Glider 5 star rating but I feel the price is excessive because of that.I work in the plastics industry and know the cost of molds and material and once things are running this should be a lot less expensive.

I was in the middle of putting tire & tube back on a 700c/29er rim when this arrived. I can't say yet how good it is for tire removal, but that's not the hard part. Getting your tire back on the rim, that's the hard part. The Tyre Glider put my tire back on the rim MUCH more easily than using the usual plastic tire levers that we all carry. O.M.G. easy. As always when mounting tires, it is MUCH easier if you pay attention to keeping most of the bead that you're working on in the central depression or valley or channel of the rim. Watch a few YouTube videos and heed the advice on positioning your body and the tire & rim: the easy motion is forward and downward. Forward and downward. If you watch a demo video and they don't show the forward and downward motion, you are not watching the right demo video. Keep looking! Watch "John on a Bike" to see a guy struggle the first time. He also did a later review of the newer, red model of Tyre Glider. Watch "James Social Cycling" to see a guy using the tool backwards when he first mounts his tire. He then does it correctly at about the 4 minute mark, and he reluctantly admits that the Tyre Glider works well. Watch "Tom Stringer" to see a roadside repair of a flat tire, done by a fellow who knows how to do it right. Watch "Ride with Roy" for the inventor AND A NOOBIE demonstrating on some difficult tires. This gadget is a really, really good innovation for do-it-yourself bike maintenance. It is small enough and useful enough that it easily earns its place in your on-the-bike toolkit. I recommend the Tyre Glider highly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This made changing flats and swapping tires so easy. I can get the tire off with a plastic tire iron and this. Putting the tires back on with just this tool. It is a must have for mtb and road tires

One of my hands is weak to use tire levers, so this tools makes it easier for me to change tires. It damaged 2 Michelin Protek, and 2 Vittoria tires; some while removing and others while installing. Saved the third Vittoria tire by applying soapy water to the bead, but it did not survived the next removal. Noticed that clincher/folding tires are less prone to this issue while removing or installing. So far, after maybe 20 uses it the tool hasn't brake...yet, so beware of the many reviews of this tool breaking.. Soapy water on the rim or tire bead works well and aids on sitting the edge of the tire evenly and properly on the rim. Use patience especially during last part of installation...easy does it. The tool works best with 25m or larger tires...23m are difficult (especially when new). I carry tire levers in addition to this item just in case. Luckily for me the problems occurred while performing maintenance and home and not on the road.

This is a great and handy helpful tool
