Best invention since the wheel

Exactly my experience. I struggled after work trying to get my rear off and eventually gave up and used a combi of tyres levers to work the bead off then this. Getting back on then the Rehook comes into its own

It just makes light work of getting every tyre back on doesn’t it.

To slide the glider around the rim, I find it easier to stand up and push it forward from above, so you can leverage your body weight to help you.

Good tip. I will give this a go next time I puncture!

That's the way I use Mine too, really helps if you get to a Hard spot.

if the glider start to get harder to push go to the opposite side of the rim and pinch the tire to the middle of the rim so the tire get lossen and start to push the glider..it become more easier to push wirh a little force

It's a really good bit of kit!

You did that well. Those conti 5000’s are usually a bitch to re install. Thanks for a clear and concise vid. I’m buying one.

It’s great but get the red one the blue one does not fit all rims

I just tried the Tyre Glider today with my Gatorskins. I rate it a 7 out of 10. For removal I found one lever to start then the Glider. For installation, if you're really having a problem try the Koolstop lever. Much better IMHO.

I got pro bike tool tyre levers, they don't even hook there so thick! I have 27.5 big Betty on the rear it sucked down to one side when let air out to put sealant in the tube, and took 4hrs to get it seated back on the bead! Help from dish soap and high psi and bit working it popped in! I ordered one these just for seating the damb thing next time no way I'd be able fix that at side of the road!

If you have a very thick rim, I have been told the red one is for wider rims. The blue one sorts out all road bike rims but may still need something wider for MTB / Gravel

Great to see your wrist is usable 😅 Quick question, will the Rehook tyre glider replace normal levers in your tool bag when out cycling?

Probably not because they are so good for getting the tyre off initially but it will if you want it to. I keep it in my bar bag for my commuter bike

Yes, it certainly can. I changed three tyres yesterday using just this tool. And it took FAR less time than using conventional tyre levers.

Recently mounted Challenge 27mm tyres which are notoriously difficult. The Glider was like an extra pair of hands holding the tyre on rim opposite the valve. Plenty talc tpu tubes and it took mere minutes. Challenge XP elite pro give a fast, great riding tyre that's robust.

I don’t think I can live without this tool now. It’s that good. Glad it was so useful for you.

A bit of fairy soap would help!

I have a tyre-rim combo so tight I can't even push the tyre off the bead by hand at all, I need a bench vice. I'm guessing this product wouldn't make much difference to me

That sounds unbelievably tight! I don’t think I have ever had one that bad. I’m guessing it’s not a 650b tyre on a 700 rim?

@@cyclingunboxed No it’s a 29” Halo Gravitas wheel with 29” continental cross king, the tightest combo ever. You have to grip it tight in a vice up to the rim and then fold the wheel in the vice using leverage to break the bead, then u can push the rest of the tyre into the centre and use levers. I have other bikes that I can change without using even levers, this one’s just ridiculous

is it safe to use on carbon rims? will it leave scratch marks?

I tape up the inside with some electrical tape on the face that touches the rim just in case of this. Had no problems with it this way and haven’t wanted to risk it without the tape

I've JUST used my Tyre-Glider to swap out my MTB Tyres...Ridiculousley Easy compared to My old tool!..

Have you tried Kool Stop's Tire Bead Jack? It's another extremely helpful tool that's specialized for getting tires mounted. I find it to be safer to use on carbon wheels than this.

@@cyclingunboxedNo, I use it at home when I rotate tires or take them off for whatever reason at home. I carry the glider in my jersey. But the Kool Jack is so good for comfortable and easy installation at home.

Tried on the rear tyre of my velomobile which is a bitch to get done. Same conclusion: getting it off a normal lever (at least to get started) works easier. Getting it back on the Tyre Glider works better.

if can get a gp 5000 in so easily then it is already worth it.
