Tyres is the British English spelling of it.

Tire is used when saying you are fatigued for example, like "soon the ascent grew steeper and he began to tire"

Tyres is the British English spelling of it. (ie the correct way!)

Tire is used when saying you are fatigued for example, like "soon the ascent grew steeper and he began to tire"

Fixed it for you.

As Churchill so aptly said, "England and America are two nations separated by a common language."
(I did know the Brit spelling of tires/tyres.)
BTW, how many "accumulators" does your e-bike have?

A Loonie and a Toonie is 3 white tail bucks. Just saying.

Kind of a necro thread and not specific to eBikes but I just got these and they work really well. I had been using a quick clamp to hold the beads in place but these work better.

The struggle is real and this system at least gets it done without swearing and sweating.

Are the ones with the red handles plastic or metal?

Metal ! They're just pry bars. I do have a smaller one I have used on one occasion in a desperate moment, but obviously it's not really a good idea !!!

The cushcore lever is a belta, Its bulky but worth a squeeze in..

The CushCore levers help save the knuckles too. Good for chasing a bead around into the rim valley when you add a CushCore to the wheel. Less likely to score/scratch the rim tape also.


I broke the red ones easily. The blue ones have metal in them. That little green thingy helps hold for installing but the levers that @Mabman posted look like they would do the job.

Here’s a pic of my special wheel holder. Came with a lid and you can store stuff/garbage in it. Great shop tool.

I had a cush core lever but broke it the other day and is what led me to look further. It is hard enough to fit a slim lever in between the bead and the rim at the last and I found the bulk of the cush core lever to be a problem overall.

Ya, I asked because I figured if they were metal they had the potential to tear up expensive wheels.

Never thought of that, got used race tyres I could use as a 'tyre bench'.

When I need to …I use the rock-hammer …caveman style.

It is so they can tell the difference between the too.

I would think that a stout stick and an and an axe would be more your jam?

You know, now that I think of it, I’ve never sharpened the business end of my axe…but I’ve smashed a few wedges into the backcut.

On second thought a wedge would be a better tool for the job! You could saw some old ones into thinner pieces to work on recalcitrant tires that won't fall into their place.

I knew something was wrong when I was using a wedge to wedge in a wedge with the thick end of the wedge. .
