Hello,
My name is Jim Walls and I am a new member to the site. I live in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. Home of Indiana University and the Little 500 Bicycle Race. You may have seen the movie "Breaking Away", a movie made in 1978 about the now famous Little 500.
Bloomington has a huge cycling community and is also home to one of the oldest and longest running bike rides, The Hilly Hundred.
In 1997 I invented a new concept bicycle tire tool. The design was so simple and effective, I couldn't believe it wasn't already on the market. After 13 years of playing around with it and researching markets, I still hadn't found a tool that works as quickly and easily at removing a tire as mine did. So, with much prodding from friends and family, I started my Patent paperwork and sought out a company to manufacture the tool. Living in Bloomington has given me a unique market by which to test my new design. I found that very little tweeking was necessary before I had a tool that satisified the needs of the riders.
The Cobra Tire Tool is designed as a compact, lightweight tool that will fit into any tool bag or jersey pocket. Because most riders demanded a small, lightweight tool, this design is limited to use on Road bike, Tri, Cyclocross, Hybrid, and Comfort frames. A new tool for Mountain bikes is in the works and will be introduced soon.
