Looks easier than faffing with tyre levers.

You'd want to be doing a lot of tyres yourself to make the price difference worth paying though Sad (which means I liked it enough to find out how much it is!)

That does look interesting- are there any independent reviews of it and instructions?

Good for getting the tyre on, how about getting one off?

I like it. £80 seems ok to me as I've blown £5 twice trying to fit a tyre with levers by damaging the inner tube, then had to get the bike shop to fit it for £10 twice again

admittedly someone more skilled with tyre levers may not suffer so much, but if I got a dirt bike again, I'd think about getting one

Think it's a bit of a gimmick IMO.

I've got a pair of 10" MAC tools tyre levers in my home tool box for trackside tyre changes.

Having done tyre fitting for the first 5 years of my working career, I got a lot of practice with levers, and learnt the best way to do tyres both with an automatic changer, and without.

I find by using levers, and just not being greedy, any tyre (Bike) can be changed with reasonable ease.

Just use a pair of small levers, and lever little bits at a time.
