Hey, just wondering if anyone had used the Park Shop Tyre Tool (TL-10) or similar? I ask because I recently got a Nukeproof rear wheel for my DH bike which uses a Sun MTX 29 rim. I'm used to Mavic 721/729 and I can get a High Roller on and off them no problem. Call me a wuss if you like, but it took me over an hour and two burst tubes to get a used High Roller on the MTX, and that was with getting the bead into the centre of the rim and using washing up liquid as a lube. I don't want to repeat that nightmare, especially if I'm pushed for time at a race weekend, so I saw this bad boy and thought it might be a good investment:

Has anyone used something like this and found it helps? My concern is that it's really just something to help shop mechanics get the job done quicker on standard MTB wheels, rather than to help the home mech get on b*stard DH tyre/rim combos. Also, although the video says it fits any axle, I'm concerned it won't be made with a 20mm front, 150/12mm rear set up in mind.
Any replies much appreciated.
