Stubby Tire Tools Protect Against Wheel Damage

Riders who perform
their own maintenance know that regularly changing motorcycle tires
and wheels are an important part of bike upkeep. But anyone who has
changed a bike's tire before probably knows that it's a delicate
process.
A metal tire iron can potentially scratch a rim or even puncture a
tube. For custom bike owners who have spent time and money on
modified wheels, using metal tools might leave them a little wary
of nicking or scuffing an important part.
Bikers who are hoping to keep their wheels in pristine condition
may want to check out Stubby Tire Tools. The Stubby is made of a
tough plastic compound rather than the traditional metal used on
most tire irons, a factor that the company claims allows riders to
avoid damaging their bike while still performing the necessary
maintenance.
The product comes in a variety of sizes, including a small model
designed to fit in a fanny pack for on-the-go repairs and a slim
version with no grips that will allow riders to get into some of
the tighter areas underneath their bike.
Those planning on riding through the winter may also want to
consider purchasing new tires for their bike that will allow them
to achieve better grip on slick roads.
