The wide scoop design of the tool makes it safe for all types of rims and enables cyclists to easily take their tyres off and on. Another great explanation below from Vanguard Cycles on how to easily change your tight tyres with TyreGlider

One of the considerations safety wise when working with wheels is if a tool slips then your hand can be accelerated and fired into the spokes or cassette. This can really hurt! When working with a conventional tyre lever this can happen particularly when a bit of pressure is needed. If this tool is placed correctly then it seems that it is more secure in its direction of motion. I was able to keep my fingertips closed in around the handle or when gripping the tab should the tool slip. It felt really secure in use to me. The tool clips onto the rim of the tyre, ensuring faster and more efficient tyre installations. The unique clip design also ensures cyclists no longer have to use their thumbs to remove or replace a tyre, which can be painful and dangerous The only other issue that I've found is when removing a tighter tyre fully off a rim. Once you have undone the first bead, removed the inner tube then you push the second bead against the first side of the rim ready to lift over and off. This is where the 'L' of the tool becomes awkward as you can neither go easily under both beads to hook it nor can you go from the rim bed side to get in and under the bead easily. This is simple with a blade type lever... Rehook Tyre Glider: value and conclusionThere was better news on the re-fitting. I warmed up on a loose-fitting tyre whose rim meshed perfectly with the tool, and the procedure was very smooth and rewarding. I like it because it has a handle making it easy to use. I use it with a normal tyre lever to do all jobs.

At 21g it is roughly the weight of a single tyre lever and is pretty compact so that is good, and represents reasonable value for money. It has lasted my testing without any significant marking or any breakage. It certainly works well with a tight tyre.

We believed it was essential that the tool is small and compact so cyclists can easily take it with them without it being a large or heavy burden. Our final was born. He noticed a gap in the market for a tyre tool with a wide scoop design that clipped onto a Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? With the tight-fitting tyre, though, two problems became apparent. Firstly, the hooked part of the rim (the part that enables the tyre bead to take high pressures by dovetailing with the bead) needs to be no wider than 3.3mm. Mine was probably 3.4mm as the tool was difficult to slot over the rim wall. I ‘persuaded’ it, which basically removed 0.1mm of the tool’s recycled plastic material. The tyre did go on, however. The Tyre Glider is the first genuinely innovative cycling tool I've seen in a long time - not just an improvement, but completely new thinking. As mentioned there are some caveats around technique, and I'd like to see the hook portion be sharper to get under tight beads easier, but for most tyres on most rims it should be fine. Verdict
