You bet. I don't recall if I came up with this on my own, or if I was inspired elsewhere. It's certainly been done before, though.
Got your message - thanks for that.
I like the name Tire (tyre) Savers. I have some vintage models also - Pellisier, TA, etc. I think they are pretty neat. Guess it's a collection within the collection. I'd be interested in picking up other variations, if anybody is willing to move them along.
I don't have any of your flat stoppers - yet. I'd like to get some, though. I've seen some that you've made (Bob F. and Drillium Dude.)

Tire savers, the little gizmos that drag on the tire just ahead of the
brake bridge on the rear tire, serve to fill your shoes and socks with
road dirt every time the road is even slightly moist. I think you'll
not find them generally available in bicycle shops for that reason.
Besides, I am convinced they are useless. I think they had their
heyday in the 1940's or there abouts.

I dunno know who he is ... but better in my shoes and socks than in my tires when it comes to sharp objects.
