Tyre Glider - The Original Bicycle Tyre Lever | Suitable for All Tire Widths | Professional-Grade, Reinforced & Patented Bike Tire Tool

Makes putting on super tight tires a lot easier. Not intuitive to know how it work, but if you watch an instructional video it is very simple. The best tire tool I own.

I saw a video about this thing and decided to give it a try. And it’s useful, mostly. For removing a tire, I’m sticking with the tried-and-true Park tire levers — those blue ones with the hook on the end that come in a set of three. Get one of those in place, hook it on a spoke, work another one around the rim, and you’re usually in business. Maybe it’s just me, but for me that still removes a tire better than using this thing. But installing a tire? That’s where this gizmo really shines. It takes a little getting used to (there is a video, of course) but once you’ve got the hang of it, these things work as well or better as anything else I’ve used; I’ve pretty much retired my bead jack. The key is that the Tyre Glider lets you use your body weight to help stretch the bead and seat the tire on the rim. The design also helps make sure, if you’re using a tube, that the tube stays inside the tire and doesn’t get pinched on the rim during installation. And it’s small enough to toss in a seat bag. You’ll notice that they sell these things in “right hand” and “left hand” versions. Basically, that comes down to which direction the tool works in — clockwise (right handed) or counterclockwise (left handed). If you’re buying the Tyre Glider for your home shop, think about getting one of each. For the usual pain-in-the-butt tight beads, like the Gatorskins that my wife uses, one Tyre Glider will do the job. But if you have a tire that is really giving you a hard time, it can help to install one in each direction and alternate moving them toward each other. I had a pair of gravel tires (Vittoria Terreno 700x40c) that were giving me fits, and using a pair of these turned out to be the way to go.

Game changer to swap tubeless tires on a carbon wheel. Easy and effortless with this tool. You won’t be disappointed.

It doesn't really help seat the tire. However it does help keep the tire in the rim while you use normal tools to pry the tire over the rim. Keeps the tire from slipping while you doing this. The only reason I gave 3 stars.

A little difficult to understand the proper way to use the tool. The instructions are not very clear.

I have been installing bike tires for 30+ years. I was having a hard time with some Schwabe Marathon tubeless. I thought I would give this tool a try. I watched a couple videos and gave it a try I broke this on my first try. Granted they really are tough to get on. This might work for something less tight I reached out to support and tried to get a new lever without success. I hope you have better luck than I did.

C’est parfait

Nada mas recibirlo, lo he probado con las cubiertas de mi canyon unas continental que cuestan la mima vida cambiar. Y tengo que decir que me asombro lo rápido y fácil que la monte. Gran invento. Gracias

I bought a right hand one - and a left hand one - and have a bead puller tool too. The challange was two Goodyear Eagle Tires which were incredibly tight - tight enough that the local bike shop gave up and returned my wheels and tires. With the two tire gliders, bead puller, soapy water and a small hammer I was able to get both tires on. By gently tapping the flat surface on the tire glider towards the other ones - lots of soap - i was able to pull the bead over! Doubt they are ever coming off at this rate!

That time for changing a tube on my mountain bike is down by 80%. This is an excellent tool!
