Tire levers work fine for getting a tire off. But the real problem often comes in getting a tire back onto the rim, especially on the road.

The Talon tool solves this by providing two standard tire levers for removing a tire that then assemble with a third component to become a portable tire installation tool (similar to a shop tire bead jack).

The Talon folds into a compact size when not in use, making it easy to carry in a saddle bag or jersey pocket.
