TIRE INSERTS

Installation tools for tubeless + Air-Liner road systems

Every tool you need to install a tubeless tire or remove an Air-Liner Road insert, the Road Tubeless Tool Kit includes dual-function pliers and clips to help get you to the satisfying snap of an inflated tire bead locking in place.

Technology explained

The pliers provide firm-yet-gentle grip on the tire, helping you mount or unmount it without damaging the compound or casing, and the handles serve double duty as tire levers. The clips secure the bead while you work your way around the rim.

You NEED this for MTB/XC tires.

I needed this tool before I even knew it existed. It replaces all of the "cave man style" methods for breaking the bead on tubeless tires, with a tool made for the job. Wonderful for MTB/XC tires. I can't speak for using it on road tires.

does not unseat tires

I bought the Road and MTB versions for the express purpose of un-seating stubborn tires, a function these do not perform. The straight jaws may be part of the problem; maybe a slight curve to better follow rim radius would help. Product material seems okay. The Road version easily goes over my 28 mm road tires. The MTB version is a tight fit over my 2.4 tires. These would be four stars if they actually broke the bead.
