I couldn't get a wire-bead panaracer tire on by hand the other day, so dug out my crank brothers speed lever thing I had bought on impulse "just in case" once upon a time. This was the first time I'd needed to try the thing and it works great. Piece of cake. No pinching of the tube, and very little effort required.
