The Evolution of Tyre Levers

🙶

I got a Tyre Glider earlier this week and today had an opportunity to use it.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!  The flat tire was a Continental GT 4 season, which has always been a hassle to mount.  I am not exaggerating that I had the tire off in 15 seconds and then remounted it in the same amount of time.  It is an absolutely genius design.

Thank you so much for inventing such a fantastic tool. I just now ordered three more so all of the bikes have one in the bag. I ride everyday and I'm not walking again!

Thanks again...

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Rehook Tyre Glider work on a MTB tyre?

Absolutely, Rehook Tyre Glider is incredibly versatile and robust, capable of accommodating the demands of MTB tyres. With its ergonomic design, Rehook Tyre Glider provides an efficient and effective solution for dealing with stubborn MTB tyres during replacements or repairs. The tool is shaped to slide between the tyre and rim easily, reducing the effort needed to remove or fit a tyre and minimising the risk of damaging the tube or tyre itself.

Will Rehook Tyre Glider work on a road tyre?

Yes, Rehook Tyre Glider is an exemplary tool for road cyclists. It has been designed to be compatible with the slimmer profile and tight fitting nature of road tyres. Road tyres, known for their firm grip on the rim, require a tool that can offer precision without compromising effectiveness. Its durability and ergonomic build provides the leverage necessary to pry road tyres off the rim without exerting excessive force that could potentially damage the tyre or rim. For reinstalling the tyre, Rehook Tyre Glider offers a fast and effective method to efficiently deal with the tightest of road tyres, getting you back on the road as soon as possible.

Is Rehook Tyre Glider safe to use on carbon rims?

Yes, Rehook Tyre Glider is indeed safe to use on carbon rims, which require a delicate touch due to their lightweight nature. The tool is designed with a low friction material that is tough on tyres yet gentle on rims, ensuring that your carbon rims remain unscathed during tyre changes.  As with any maintenance tool, it is recommended to familiarise yourself with Rehook Tyre glider before using it in a practical scenario. Practicing on a less critical tyre setup can help you get a feel for the appropriate amount of force is required for optimal use. Regularly inspecting the tool for any signs of wear and tear will ensure that it continues to function safely and effectively. Starting with a small section of the tyre allows you to confirm that the tool is performing as expected without causing any damage.

Do I need more than one Rehook Tyre Glider?

No, Rehook Tyre Glider is engineered with efficiency and functionality in mind, ensuring that a single tool is all that's needed to manage the removal and installation of a bike tyre. This streamlined design allows for a minimalist approach to your cycling toolkit without compromising on capability. The convenience of requiring only one Tyre Glider also makes it an ideal choice for cyclists on the move.

Does Rehook Tyre Glider work on tight fitting tyres?

Rehook Tyre Glider excels in dealing with tight-fitting tyres, which are often the most challenging to handle during maintenance or in the event of a puncture. It has undergone extensive testing, including on notoriously snug tyres like Gatorskins and Conti 5000s, to ensure its effectiveness.

The tool's capability to handle tight tyres is a testament to its robust construction and the thoughtful ergonomics behind its design. It ensures that even when faced with the stiffest beads, cyclists can confidently and safely undertake the task of changing a tyre with a single tool, streamlining the process and reducing the stress of tyre maintenance.

What happened to just using a spoon handle?

Rehook Tyre Glider is the evolution of spoon handles. Using a spoon handle to change a tyre is a tried-and-true method from cycling's earlier days, yet it comes with several drawbacks. Rehook Tyre Glider is a contemporary upgrade to the spoon handle, designed to specialize in the task of removing and installing bike tyres.

While a spoon handle can be repurposed as a makeshift lever, it's not optimized for the job. It can easily slip, potentially causing damage to the tyre, inner tube, or even the rim. Moreover, the metal of a spoon can scratch or dent delicate wheel materials like carbon fibre. Rehook Tyre Glider, on the other hand, is tailored to fit the tyre bead and rim edge precisely, offering a secure and controlled grip that reduces the risk of slippage and damage. Its purpose-built shape provides the right amount of leverage, making the process faster and more efficient, particularly with tight-fitting tyres where a spoon handle may not suffice.

Is there a left-handed version of Rehook Tyre Glider?

Rehook Tyre Glider is designed to be a universally user-friendly tool. Most left handed individuals will use it in their right hand with ease due to the way the tool faces when clipped onto the rim.

What is the weight of Rehook Tyre Glider?

Rehook Tyre Glider's weight is exceptionally light at just 20 grams. This minimal weight makes it a practical addition to any cyclist's toolkit, ensuring it can be easily carried on any cycling adventure without contributing to a significant weight load. Its lightweight nature is a testament to the thoughtful design aimed at maximising functionality while keeping portability in mind.
