I've found that all the tyres tried with these rims are pretty tight which may be down to a TLR feature. Because you aren't working multiple pointy objects under the bead, there's far less risk of pinching a tube / putting a hole in your tubeless rim tape, however.I didn't try it on any hookless rims, but as there's literally no hook to hold the tool down on as you push it around, I'd say it would be a non-starter. Cycling UK offers a range of cycling-related services to support and advise our members, the wider cycling community and employers. Our founder created the Tyre Glider when he was a road cycling novice and wanted to ensure his tool would be able to be used and appreciated by experienced and beginner cyclists alike. The first Brompton is a recent B75 model with a Schwalbe Marathon tyre and it was very easy to remove and refit the tyre.

Due to the Rehook lever being 'L' shaped I couldn't get the tab under the bead as the tyre sidewall pushed against the handle. At Tyre Glider, we're not only passionate about cycling, we're passionate about protecting the world around us. I've had to resort to standing on tyres to break the bead before, so it's wise to make sure you can actually do it before relying solely on a Tyre Glider for trail use. Invented in Wales during the Covid lockdown and inspired by opening a can of tuna, the Tyre Glider is fatter than a couple of levers (40 x 30mm at its chunkiest), but considerably shorter than most at 78mm. For me, I found it impressive the way that it dealt with tight tyres and I really liked its stability once located.Cycling UK is more than just a membership charity, which provides you with excellent insurance, information and a magazine. This time you place the handle against the rim and hook the slot over the rim and push the large postage stamp sized rectangle around the rim.
