The Essential: If you're running air liners in road or cyclocross tires, I think this tool is required to unseat the bead if you value your hands and time. It can cleanly unseat the bead on one side, then flip and do the other in a few minutes time. The built in tire levers in the handle are also awesome as they give you a good base area to pry next to with another lever to unseat a tire. The Frustrating: The rubber protector tips on the ends that contact your tire and rim and super loose and just fall off constantly while you're repositioning the tool (or just moving it at all). The really are needed to get enough grip on the tire to unseat a stubborn bead, so you need to just keep putting them back on. I intend to superglue these on before the next time I need to use them, but it feels like a really poor design to have loose fitting high contact parts. My experiences with these were using Vittoria Terreno Mix tires on Mercury M1 and American Classic TCX wheels.
