Tru-TensionTire Monkey | Tire Lever | Only One Tool Needed to Change Any Tire | Bicycle Tools & Accessories

We need this to take along in our repair bag for distance biking......it works well and was a good price.

This thing is fantastic. I have a set of old school rim brake wheels, where changing a tire can take an extended period of time. This thing mounted the tires in seconds, not minutes, or even up to an hour, when dealing with these types of wheels. Best tire tool I ever purchased. The only thing to remember is to lubricate the rim and tires with soap or a lubricant.

Easy to use tool makes for fast & effective tire changes. The tube patches are ideal for on the road repairs.

This works amazing on all levels of tire mounting and taking off tires, BUT I bought 2 and thank goodness. After 2 years of use my first one broke at the mounting lip. It’s plastic and pretty well built but things wear and break. My advice is get this product but always have 2.

Very good bicycle tire tool, excellent. Very well designed and tough and durable, works very well.

The design of this tire lever is the key to its success, and is user friendly. It allows better control, keeps your knuckles from the spikes, fits my carbon fiber rims in my MTB which the Tyre Glider did not. I've used it to mount and dismount tires and it's definitely been an asset.

I bought both a Tyre Glider and a Tire Monkey to try them both out. I have used them so far only on changing tires on a mountain bike - 26 x 1.95 tires. I found both difficult to use to remove the tire - the tires are tall and it was difficult to get either under the bead to take it off. It might work better on a lower profile road tire (I hope since that is what I ride!). It was much easier with the tire irons I have owned and used for 50+ years.Installing the tire with the Tyre Glider was eye opening easy. I found the Tire Monkey worthless for installing. The Tyre Glider is designed so its long portion lies along the rim when you are installing the tire, keeping everything aligned properly and making it easy for you to lean into the tool to muscle a tire onto the rim. The Tire Monkey depends upon your wrist strength to keep everything aligned and if you are needing to push hard, it is beyond at least my strength and ability to do that. Perhaps with practice I would be able to manage, but why bother when the Tyre Glider works without practice.I have arthritis in my hands which makes changing a tire difficult. I can see the Tyre Glider being an effective way for me to continue to be able to fix a flat while out on a ride. Hopefully it works effectively with reinstalling my road tires which is a massive problem for me with just traditional tire irons.

Worked well, sturdy, and made changing the tire a whole lot easier!
