Tires, 23's vs. 25's, brands?

[TsPoet]

For all of you who have struggled to change a tire, try this nifty little tool from Crank Brothers:

I can now change a tire (or put on new tires!) in 18 minutes, compared to 90 minutes before. I don't go anywhere without it!

Got one of those, saved my life with my tight trike tires. Took me about 3 tire changes to break it, though - so don't stop carrying a backup tire lever!

I carry 2 regular levers, plus the speed lever...I use the regular levers to get things started, then use the speed lever to get the tire off and to put it back into place...so much easier!
