Review on πŸš— Enhanced Tire Mounting Efficiency with SCHWALBE Easy Fit Fluid by Justin Santiago

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive, suitable for cycling

A small price to pay for what it is. When changing tires on many different vehicle types, there are always such "special products" and in the end Simple Green, soapy water, etc. work just as well. I'm not sure how well they work with my Schwalbe One tires and didn't want to risk ruining them, although I don't think it will. Anyway, I bought and tried the Easy Fit Liquid and it helps more than I expected and is worth the price. Not to mention that it should take a long time. I wish they sold a really small version to carry in a jersey pocket or seat pocket. It would be great to hit the road if my tubeless system blew up and I had to put in a tube or patch the inside of the tire to get home. *Update: It wasn't until the second or third use of the foam attachment that the dispenser came loose making that part of the applicator unusable and again making it usable only with my fingers with mounting fluid on it. Another thing, I used it another time just because I have it and if it makes it easier why not. I've since improved my tubeless mounting technique with the "super tight" tire and rim combo I run, and I can now mount them without fluid or leverage like I always have with tubed clincher tires. Fluid helped the most when I had to fit tires in cold weather or new tires out of the box. But without liquid, looking back, I could have used other things I had on hand. Because of the price, how much it helps, and what you can substitute to do the same, I've upped my rating from 5 to 3 stars.
