2. Repair kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repair_kit

   A tire mobility kit is a package of equipment and accessories used for repairing vehicle tires. Hence, they are also called a tire repair kit or a tire inflator. The idea of a mobility kit is to have a small group of tools that are compact and easy to use. It benefits by taking up much less room in a trunk than even a temporary spare tire.

3. Tubular tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_tyre

   Tubular tyres can be less safe with rim brakes on long descents because the heat generated by braking can cause the glue holding the tyre to the rim to fail. [8] Additionally, excessive heat from rim brakes an cause the tyre pressure to increase so much that the tyre can explode, [9] but this problem also applies for clincher tyres used with ...

4. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   A bead breaker is a tool used for separating tires from rims. The innermost diameter of the tire that interfaces with the rim of a wheel is called the tire bead. The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1] The surface of the bead creates a seal between the tire and rim on ...

5. Tire changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

   Motorcycle tire changers are less sophisticated than passenger car and light truck or heavy-duty tire changers because they deal with smaller and lighter tires and wheels. Motorcycle tire changers mainly provide a simple bead loosening system and rim clamps powered manually. Certain motorcycle tire changers can accommodate wheel diameters as ...

6. Litespeed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litespeed

   Litespeed uses 6/4 titanium, [20] which is an alloy of titanium with 6 percent aluminum and 4 percent vanadium, instead of the more-common 3/2.5 titanium. [21] It is more difficult to work with, but has a better strength to weight ratio than other available alloys. [ 20 ]

7. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   The outer wall has been worn through and the wheel is dangerously weakened. This is a disadvantage of rim brakes. Rim brakes are inexpensive, light, mechanically simple, easy to maintain, and powerful. However, they perform relatively poorly when the rims are wet, and will brake unevenly if the rims are even slightly warped. Because rims can ...

9. Lug wrench - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_wrench

   Installing a wheel with a lug wrench thus requires a bit of rough guessing about proper tightness. Excessive force can strip threads or make the nuts very difficult to remove. Also, uneven torque between the various lug nuts, or excessive torque, can lead to warping of the brake rotor if the car is equipped with disc brakes.
