Arthritic Tire Mounting Tool
Last time I was mounting my tire I simply did not have the strength or, leverage without arthritic pain, to get the job done.
I know there are many new tires that are very difficulty to mount and this tool is not made for them. I needed a tool to just assist with mounting tires I normally could have just squeezed into place. After allot of searching I found the "TireKey" tool to have the best possibilities. For my 3D print I changed the angel and width of closure and also the rim contact seat area to accommodate the tires I usually use. That is 700c 28 or 27 1-1/4.
I center my initial tire beads in the rim and work the bead around the tire normally till I get to that final 10-15 CM of closure. I then hold the tire with one hand and use the tool to lift and pull the bead into place. This device is printed out of PLA which is a weak plastic. For more strength it most likely needs to be printed out of ABS Nylon. I am fine with it as is. If I did not
