Please read instructions fully before use
TYRE REMOVAL
- Use the flat end of Tyre Glider to lift the tyre bead over the rim, just like a regular tyre lever.
- Glide Tyre Glider around the rim to lift the rest of the bead over.
TYRE FITTING
- Clip Tyre Glider onto the rim.
- Using your palm, push Tyre Glider around the rim until the tyre snaps into place.
The tool is designed to help guide the inner tube into place as you glide. However, you will need to ensure no sections of the inner tube are protruding from the tyre as you glide the tool around the rim.
As with all maintenance tools, damage can occur from improper use, so take time to familiarise yourself with how to correctly use the tool.
Before using; ensure the tool, tyre and rim of your wheel are free from dirt and grit and in good condition. This will ensure both will remain in tip top condition.
Tyre Glider is designed to work on all rims but due to the huge range of wheels and tyres available, we are not able to test every combination. Ensure you test it on a small section of the rim before using fully, to check for correct use and compatibility with your rim.
Avoid using too much pressure on delicate and raised areas of the wheel such as stickers and decals.
How to Remove Tight Fitting Bike Tyres
Struggling with removing tight-fitting tyres is a common issue for cyclists, especially when you’re out on the road or trail. Here are some tips to make this easier:
-
Deflate the Tyre Completely
Release all the air from the inner tube by pressing down on the centre of the valve and squeezing the tyre. This will reduce the tension between the tyre and the rim. -
Break the Bead Fully
Push the tyre away from the rim using your thumbs, working your way around both sides of the wheel. This step is crucial for loosening the tyre’s grip on the rim. Try to keep the bead of the tyre centred in the rim when removing the tyre. -
Use Tyre Glider
Insert the flat end of Tyre Glider into the gap you've created and use it to lift the tyre bead over the rim, just like a regular tyre lever. You can now use your bodyweight, rather than your arm strength, to push in a forward & downward motion to glide the tyre over the rim (watch the video above for reference).

Wow, wish I had found the tyre glider earlier, no more messing around with levers and trying to force the tyre over the rim. So easy to use and no more sore thumbs!!
Changing a tyre shouldn’t be difficult but I’ve always had problems “fighting the rubber”. I always dread when I have to change a tyre. Last time frustration got the better of me and I fell out on the tyre with a hacksaw to release it from the wheel rim. Tyre levers either broke or bent.
I have found the Rehook Tyre Glider is the answer to my tyre changing prayers.
Thanks for a great product.
Watched your sales lady at the Birmingham Cycle Show today, on how to use the Rehook Tyre Glider. She made taking a tyre off and on a wheel look so easy that i thought the tyre she was using must have become stretched due to all the demonstrations. But i bought one and as soon as i got home i had to test it out on my road wheels which the tyres are always difficult to get back on. But just as the lady demonstrated, it was so easy. No more sore thumbs trying to get the trye back on. Well worth the money.
