TT are selling these, not to sounds like a moron, what exactly are they suppose to do, or is it something useful I am suppose to have?

michnus · 08-06-2008, 10:42 PM

Anybody, anybody?? So I guess, TT never sold a pair of this stuff?

Dan Alexander · 08-07-2008, 04:41 AM

guess we aren't the only ones who wouldn't have a clue what to do with them

stzog · 08-07-2008, 05:15 AM

You use them to extract the tyre from the rim for repair...

Dan Alexander · 08-07-2008, 05:18 AM

um .... which end is up?

Well this must be a first, such a huge audience of adventure riders and nobody knows how the hell the bloody things work.

I guess, TT's marketing dept missed this one.

They looked so funky, I thought if I can get a set, stick them to the handlebars, people wouldl think I am a hardcore world traveller.

Maybe a demo from TT is in order.

If I had them in my hands, and a tire to work on I "might" be able to figure it out, maybe.

Over 200 sets of tires and nothing...

Those are a bit like the bead buddy thingies, designed as a "3rd hand" for tire repairs:
