Bicycle Tire Bead Jack - Tool to Install Difficult and Stubborn Bike Tires - Changing Mounting Seating Tire Tool

More compact than the full sized version that I owned before. I lost the original larger one because it fell out of my jersey pocket. This smaller version fits securely in a jersey back pocket. It does flex more and might not be as effective. Haven't had to use it yet.

Works well a bit flimsy but does the job. Have to use two hands to operate one to work the lever and the other to hold the hook in place. I had to press firmly to hold hook in place, even with pressure it wanted to pop off tire bead. Tool folds down but still a bit big to put in a seat bag. Other then all of that it made getting that last bit of tire on a lot easier especially on a tubeless tire and carbon rim combo. I say yes buy one it will be a nice addition to your collection of bike tools.

I purchased this item hoping that it would help me mount some stubborn Continental tires on my Giant P-SLR racing wheels. The hook on the tool just keeps slipping off of the bead of the tire. I was not able to record any progress beyond what I was able to accomplish with my bare hands. In addition, the hook on the tool dug into my rim, scraping off the clear coat on the carbon fiber fairing (see attached photo). At the end of the day I spent $16 on this tool, still couldn’t mount the new tires, and damaged a $800 set of wheels! I tried to give this zero stars but was forced to give it one.

I need to torque my GP5000s pretty hard to get them on the rims. This tools tends to buckle. Also the hook is too thick to get a grip on the tire bead on the last heave. However it is good enough to take on the road. The folding feature let's this tool fit in a shirt pocket and I can use a tire lever to help the hook get a grip.

I built a couple tubeless tires, and only then did I see this tool advertised. It's cheap, so I bought it for next time. Fast forward a couple months and I needed to replace a tire.It works exactly as promised. That's not true. It actually was easier than they made it look. It took about 10 seconds to get a feel for it and then wham! The tire was on. I hit it with 140 psi from my compressor and the tire grabbed instantly.Can't recommend enough. Have it ready to go the next time you need to put on a tire.

Was recommended this tool for those quick/simple tire changes that unexpectedly arise. This tool is light weight, easy to carry with you for bike outing and very easy to use. Packaging has a link to video instructions on how to use the tool, very easy to follow. I’d recommend this tool to anyone has dealt with frustrating experiences removing a bike tire with a flat.

I made a mistake and ordered this for my 2.5” tires and this doesn't come close. Sadly i have to return

Have had the tool for quite a while and (fortunately) did not have to use it before yesterday when a friend had a flat and the tyre was difficult to et back on. I offered him to try the tool and it really worked as described and the tyre was back on in with much less effort. He will get a tool as well as this was a game changer to him.

This tool couldn't help me get some Continental Grand Prix All-rounder 25mm tires onto my new carbon rims, which had a 25.9mm internal width. If I pushed too much when trying to get the bead over the rim, one of the arms of the tool would splay out in the direction it's not supposed to bend, that is, along the edge of the rim, perpendicular to its intended axis. I feel like I wasted my money buying this. I'm not a bike mechanic and I didn't want to force things too much and potentially damage the rims, so I took the wheels to the bike shop instead. It might work for others, but it didn't for me.
