I'm left-handed, and had no issues using the tool. I can appreciate some may struggle though, and it would be nice to see an option for working in the other direction. At least when removing a tyre it is possible to pull the tool instead of pushing it. The Tyre Glider is a unique new tool that's well-suited to removing or fitting most tyres on most rims, easy or stubborn. It's not perfect and won't work on some rims, but it's small and works much better than most tyre levers, most of the time. I also tried it with a 650B tubeless mountain bike wheel which uses a Stan's rim strip and needed its sealant refreshing. I found that because the strip and tyre bead had glued themselves together somewhat, I didn't particularly want to force them apart in case I damaged the rim strip. So I used a conventional tyre lever to ease them apart which felt the right way to do the job. Other than that, the Glider did its work well. The problem was that I couldn't get the tab under the bead. This tyre tread is a tough and inflexible thing. Due to the Rehook lever being 'L' shaped I couldn't get the tab under the bead as the tyre sidewall pushed against the handle. When I used two conventional levers to create a space, then I was able get the Glider under the bead and it worked fine. Refitting was also easy. If there had been two of us then maybe one could've squeezed the tyre enough to allow the other to get the Glider's tab in. was frustrated by how difficult, time-consuming and energy-intensive changing a tight-fitting tyre was

Also, when using it, be very, very careful if you have rim decals which will be swept by the tool. Chances are you'll scuff them up because of how tight this sits on the rim. I then moved onto a brace of Bromptons with their smaller wheels. The first Brompton is a recent B75 model with a Schwalbe Marathon tyre and it was very easy to remove and refit the tyre. Next up was a friend's older Brompton which has been a nemesis in the past. It caused me to break two tyre levers a few years ago, so tight are its tyre and wheel combo! How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc? The Tyre Glider is good for rim hook profiles up to 3.3mm wide – that's the widest rim hook section it will engage. Reports are that Zipp 404 rims won't fit the tool, and Zipp 202 rim hooks are likewise about 4mm wide, so they're probably out too. I didn't try it on any hookless rims, but as there's literally no hook to hold the tool down on as you push it around, I'd say it would be a non-starter. Hook both ways After this initial idea, the Tyre Glider design was refined, tested and perfected. We decided to use recycled plastic not only for its superior strength and durability, but to ensure we were creating a

Before, with the two tyre lever system, I needed to judge the correct gap to get enough bead over the rim. Too small a gap and you'd struggle to get the next lever under the bead to release fully, too wide a gap and you'd put enough force to potentially break a tool... Going to give it a go, GP5000 tubless are terrible. they are not mine but esist on our club spin and it is better to help than get cold. STOP buying/selling these in EAST London please.

Although the Tyre Glider is small and compact in size, it's made from incredibly strong and durable plastic. This ensures you can throw it in a bag and take it with you on off-road cycling adventures without having to worry about the tool becoming damaged or reducing in quality. Even when placed under intense pressure, the tool will not snap. sustainable product that had a minimal environmental impact. Our team also wanted the tool to be universal, so cyclists who enjoyed road and mountain bikes could simply use one tool that fitted all tyre widths and was safe for all types of rims.
