the best bike gizmo EVER! Crank Brothers speed lever

[divingbiker]

I have one and have always liked it for the ease of tire removal. However, I've never gotten the hang of using it to put the tire back on. What's the secret? Is it shown somewhere?

Well, let's see if I can explain. Here's a picture of the speed lever.



The little hook that sticks out to the left is what you use to remove the tire from the rim. The longer hook that sticks out to the right (on the bottom) is what you clip onto the rim to put the tire back on. It just snaps onto the rim and the other end snaps onto the axle, and you pull the lever around the rim, and voila! the tire slips inside the rim.
