Cycling UK Forum

I'm actually meeting with the inventor this week to also share feedback, and will mention this forum in case he hasn't seen it.

He's absolutely committed to making it work, and as far as I understand already went through the design process with materials in mind as well as everything else (i.e. comment it's too brittle). Things are always a trade off but if meaningful improvements can be made we may see a v.2 soon!

Hey all

Declaring interest - I stock and sell the Tyre Glider online - but that's because I think it's a fantastic product and am keen to get behind it.

I'm first and foremost a mechanic but as such I'm very much aware that not everyone has the magic ability or mega hand strength to work with awkward rim/tyre combinations.

For me, the biggest benefit is in fitting stubborn tyres without damaging the tube you've just fitted in the rain by the side of the road

I'd be very happy to assist if anyone needs more info on technique or needs any help - even happy to demo if you're local to my workshop!
