Stumpy – I have the VAR tyre jack which is a similar, but simpler idea. It includes tyre levers in the design and will fit in a big saddle bag or a jersey pocket. SJS cycles stock them.
Cheers, stevious. Yeah, I’ve been looking at the VAR tyre jack too.
My point is though, that if you need one of these to get the tyre onto the rim, is it not then nigh on impossible to get the tyre back off again if you get a puncture – the tyre jack only helps to put the tyre on, doesn’t it? Not take it back off again?
Or does it generally not work like that – i.e. a tyre is easier to get off, than put back on??
