Take off bicycle sheath without special tools

I have often had the problem that I can not get down the coat of my bike tube with the appropriate tool. But since I'm creative and resourceful I came up with the idea to just use teaspoons and lo and behold, the coat could be down without any problems.

All you need is 2-3 teaspoons, preferably a slightly thinner stalk and two with a slightly thicker stalk.

Now you should turn the bike upside down or hang it up (as it is easiest and most comfortable for you), then take the teaspoon with the thinner handle first and put it under the bicycle tube jacket (I always start at the ventiel).


Then you pry the coat over the rim and pinch the teaspoon behind a spoke, then you take the other teaspoon (the one with the thicker stem) and push the 5-7 cm of the first teaspoon under the coat. Then you pry the coat over the rim again and also clamps the teaspoon behind a spoke.

If you have a third tea spoon, you do it all again. But if you only have 2, that's not a problem because then you can pull out the first teaspoon (the one with the thinner end) and push it again 5-7cm from the other tea spoon under the coat, and pry the coat over the rim ,

So you've already done a lot. If the bicycle tube coat can not yet easily be removed from the rim you have to push a tea spoon under the coat again and pry the coat over the rim again.

The best way until you can pull the coat over the rim.

Finished. The coat is now off.
