Today I improved upon the previous plan for fixing a flat bicycle tire, as described in yesterday's post, by purchasing a tool specially designed to help apply leverage in getting the tire back on the rim without at the same time puncturing the freshly installed tube inside said tire.See the black tool in the foreground with the smooth rounded edges? That is a much better tool for this purpose than the Leatherman flathead screwdriver blade in the background.
See those sharp corners on the screwdriver blade? Those are very good for puncturing a bicycle tube. Extremely efficient at doing so, in fact,should that be your desired outcome. A flathead screwdriver is highly recommended if you want to replace one flat tube with another tube that starts out puncture-free only to end up flat as well.
