And I’m not kidding!!I’d been thinking about buying this tyre lever and originally discounted it as I already had some in my kit. After reconsidering and watching the video made me think is it really that easy to use?? The answer is yes, very easy!!After going tubeless, I had been having flash backs to the days when I fitted my tyres, lots of swearing, slippages and injuries - I was dreading the day that I got an incurable puncture. Well that day came, 20 miles into a 200 mile ride. After a number of attempts I could not cure the puncture so I had to fit a tube. Using this tool, the tyre came off with ease allowing a tube to be fitted and re fitting was really as easy as it is shown on the video.By far the best tool in my kit, don’t think about it just buy one. It will be the best decision you made today!!

Purchased this after seeing it in use and I wasn't disappointed the first,second or third time of using it on Ride London. So much easier than normal tyre levers. Would recommend that everyone has one in there saddle bags.

Great handy size to carry on every ride. Works okay but still hard work on the toughest tyre/rim combo. Anything that helps in this area is a great boom

It remove and fits easy tyres, easily... but given a really tight tyre, it's no magic bullet.I have a 30mm GP5000 tyre on a fulcrum racing 3 wheel - with inner tube. It's a nasty fit - hard to remove and very tight to refit. I can get it on and off with 2 park tools tyre levers and a lot of swearing, but I have to get the bead sitting low in the rim and use a fair amount of thumb power.I thought I'd get this tool to make life easier and mitigate the risk of pinching the tube when levering the final bit of tyre over the rim.In practice, there's no way it was going to pull the bead over the rim on my GP5000s by simply spinning it around the wheel like a reverse tin opener - I ended up having to prise the tyre over as you would with a normal lever. But in the end I still had to resort to massaging the bead and using the thinner, park-tool levers - perhaps my technique needs work so I won't blame the tool and will keep it in my back pocket for another attempt: it looks so easy on the demo video...The other problem I found is that the tool is too wide to sneak in under the bead to get the tyre off in the first place, so I still needed my 2 park tool tyre levers with spoke hooks to get the tyre off.I will give it a 3 star rating, as it's great for "normal" fitting tyres. but will need to re-review after a couple more uses on tight tyres.

I was sceptical about whether this would be any easier than standard leavers, especially given the cost. But I was impressed with the design and how well it worked . Well worth the buy.

Tried to put a Pirelli tyre on a gravel rim. Both of these failed at that point where the final bit of tyre needs help to go on when the rest is on and in the well. Annoyingly, I had to take the tyre off again in order to remove the snapped piece. Wrote to the company about it and they've not bothered to respond.Interestingly, the tyre went on really easily with a Pedros lever that I also got from Amazon so I'm sticking with those now.Design wise, these are not perfect by a long run. The size of the piece that is meant to tuck under the tyre to remove it is not idea - and that's the piece that snapped off funnily enough. Separately, it is really uncomfortable to push down on the side of one of these. The hard square edges cut your hand.On the positive side, unlike the Tyre Glider which I've also tried, the size of the cavity for the rim is far better and could cope with my carbon rims. The Tyre Slider and also the Crank Brothers device that looks like a knuckle duster were not big enough to go over the rim at all.So in short - don't waste your money on any of these. My recommendation is the Pedros levers.

First impressions are very good. Finally a tyre lever that actually works. Fingers crossed it stands up to the riggers of assembling multiple tyres per day.

After considerable deliberation if it was too good to be true I took the plunge and bought one. Oh my word, after watching the video of how to use it changing tyres is so easy. No more wishing I could grow a third hand as tyre levers fell off or the tyre wouldn't go over the rim.This the second one I've bought so I have one with the bike in case I need to repair a puncture.

Très solide. Un peu dispendieux pour un simple morceau de plastique

Holy crap that was easy?! I run Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires because, well, they’re awesome. They’re also a HUGE pain in the arse to put on. They have a wired bead like a car tire. In other words, they don’t stretch like 90% of the bike tires out there. I usually have to jump through all kinds of hoops (lay them in direct sun, use 3 bike levers, clamps, ratchet straps, etc.) to get them on. It usually takes 20-30 minutes per tire. I just did it in 5 minutes!!! The design and sturdiness of the Tyre Monkey is perfect. One edge is used to remove the tire. The other side is designed to install and seat the bead. Flawless! The only problem I have with it. I didn’t get two, so my wife could carry one!

Working good
