    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone tried the Baja No Pinch Tire Tool....

I want one also. Neat idea. Where can we find these?

Never mind. Just googled it and it looks like Amazon is the place to go. Not cheap though at $100 more or less plus shipping.

Very slick. I've only changed a few tires I have already pinched a tube, damaging it. Looks like this device would even make mounting a tubeless tire easier.
 
Not sure I see the point to this thing. :confused:


If your technique is so bad that you're pinching tubes left and right, a $100+ tool isn't going to fix the real problem. Same goes for mounting tubeless tires -- how is this any easier or faster than tire irons?

Also, if you ever have to patch or replace a tube alongside the road or trail, you had better be able to do it with three small tire irons. Or make sure you're never out of cell phone range from someone with a trailer.

it's like having a third strong hand - leveraging off axle is clever. Of course, I can make the same setup with a linear toggle clamp for cheap money.

My technique is getting pretty good. Off the bike and back on again trailside in about ten minutes using two small tire irons, haven't pinched a tube in years. This has nothing to do with the fact that this thing looks like a hell of a lot better way of doing routine tire changes at home. It just looks like a smarter way of doing it. Leverage is better than brute force.

You can continue with your spoons, I don't mind.
