Tire Installation Made Easy
Tire Installation Made Easy
I was recently introduced to the ‘Baja No Pinch Tool’. Having tried it on a rear tire installation in my garage (not on the trail) I can say it works as advertised. If you are tire install challenged and have to worry about pinch flats, then this could be the answer. It could make your tire changing worries all but disappear!
It appears to be a very sturdy tool and should last a life time. It weighs approximately 2.5 lbs with the extra aluminum axel sizers to fit any axle. This makes it a great garage tool but less attractive out on the trails.
On my very first attempt the ‘No Pinch’ made putting the tire on the rim very easy with almost no chance of pinching the tube without the use of tire irons. You must remember this is an installation only tool so you will need your tire irons to dismount the tire. That is what makes me classify the ‘No Pinch’ as a garage tool as opposed to a trail tool.
Also, it is much easier to understand how to use it if you look at their ‘bajanopinch.com’ website. The written instructions that come in the box were not easy for me to use as a guide. But then again I am not tire install challenged, but I am written instruction book challenged.
Go change a tire so you can go riding!!!
