Tire Mounting Tool

[Deleted User 62]

Almost small enough to carry along. I wonder if it would work on our skinny tires? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_cKs2WyQ8c

Can't see why not, BUT seems the tool is one size of wheel

how much for 2...... 18...... and 19

It looks to me like the threaded piece that pushes on the bead can be used in more than one position.

Tool seemed fine for an 18"? wheel but seemed to be at its limit of travel.
Perhaps there is another bar for 21" tyres?

Pointless if it can't do both.

says 16 to 21" wheels. The bearing sizes are larger than ours, though (20mm-28mm)

Not a problem, just make a shim. The big issue is the price. $179.00 . Depends how often you need to change tires. Since I started carrying tire levers about 12 years ago, I haven't had a single flat.

FYI; I got an email back from them today, here is what they had to say regarding different axle sizes etc: "The axle is removable, it is threaded on. We have different axles in stock. Diameter 17mm axle is 105 mm long. Axle must be so long, that it goes allso to the bearing other side of the wheel. We can make special axle for You, please send sizes. We have allso short pusher, what works on wheels 10"-14"."

What's wrong with the tire-irons in the BMW kit ?
They work fine for old profiles that airheads want to wear
unless you're at the track, riding high mileage, or changing O.P. tires for $$$.
If you're into any of those scenarios ... or just lazy ...
get off the wallet, consider it an investment and opt for a No-Mar
or for lighter use a Cycle Hill

I own the 2nd – only by virtue of the low-profile wide aspect ratio of tires fitted on (my primary) an R12S
... when my only concern was the antique rubber offerings, spoons were good enough.
