Glen & Kris Denning → Segway → Segway Tire Dismount < Previous Next >
Tire levers are use to help pull the tire bead over the wheel rim. I prefer plastic tire levers because they make it much easier to avoid damaging the tire and wheel.
Resist the temptation to substitute a screwdriver — you're very likely to cut a tire or scrape a rim with a screwdriver.
Each of the tire levers shown here are an AC International Quik Stik. They are made of nylon and measure six inches long. I purchased these for about $4.00 each at a bicycle shop.
We're ready to begin dismounting a Segway tire by breaking the bead.
