Tyre levers

Thanks for posting this. I have all sorts of problems with my hands nowadays and mending a flat is not on my to do list and I sometimes ride in fear of one. I think that I might well invest in one of these gadgets myself

Only suggestion I would make is have a couple of practice goes before struggling miles from home. I have put an old tyre onto a rim this afternoon a couple of times and it does get easier!

Aldi sell little cans of puncture fixative when they have their cycle sales on (they have at present) I used to carry one when I had my Trice because it was nigh impossible to get the tyres off the 20"rims. I also used a similar product from the local pound shop. Both worked well as a get you home in an emergency
