The Kool Stop tire bead jack is your secret weapon against tight tire beads. The approximately 8-inch handle provides much more leverage versus a standard tire lever. Clever design actually lifts the bead up and over so you are less likely to pinch a tube during tire installation and most riders know blowouts can happen when part of the tube remains outside the tire bead. When used properly, this tool makes tire installation easy eliminating hand strain and frustrating experiences with tight tire beads.
