Description
The Tyre Glider is a small and compact evolution of the tire levers currently on the market. Its unique design and features ensure that changing a bicycle tire is now accessible to all individuals and completes the task in a more efficient manner allowing for the swift removal and installation of even the most tight-fitting tyres across all the bicycle disciplines.
Key Feature 1
The pending patent ‘wing’ clip-on glides the tire back onto the rim. Once the Tyre Glider encounters resistance, the ergonomic design allows the users to use the full force of their body weight in a downward trajectory which results in the tyre resistance lowering to the point where it pops back onto the rim with ease.
Key feature 2
A wider scoop pulls more beads over the rim. As you then pull down, unlike traditional tire levers, the Tyre Glider sits perfectly and securely onto the brake track of the bike wheel in a horizontal fashion. Push forward to remove.

• Tire levers for all tire widths including road, MTB, gravel
• The tire glider can be removed by pushing forward and pressing down to install it
• Easy to install tires without pinching the tube, eliminating the hassle and stress
• Compact in size and convenient to carry
• Made of durable plastic, using recycled materials, and environmentally friendly
• Fits up to 3.3mm tire hook width
• Note: Please securely attach the tire glider to the rim hook before work. If you try to push it in force, it may damage the parts that came to the rim hook
• Some rims may have a thick rim wall for the tire glider. In that case, you will need to file the groove that will be attached to the wheel glider’s hook. It can be used with hookless slims, but you need to modify the tire glider
