Rim guard - 9-40/20/TMT01
- Plastic rim guard. With solid string attached.
Rim Edge Protector
Mounting protector | Flexible plastic | Cord for quick removal | Priced per piece
The rim edge protector fits over the rim flange while a tyre is being mounted or demounted, so mounting tools never touch the rim directly. It's a simple accessory, but in practice it saves the time otherwise spent polishing out scratches on an aluminium wheel.
Material and Design
The protector is made of plastic that is flexible enough to sit snugly against the rim flange, yet tough enough to withstand contact with tyre irons and other tools used during fitting.
A cord is attached to the protector. It makes fitting the protector onto the rim easier, and once the job is done it lets you pull it off quickly without prying at the flange with a tool.
Product Features
Shields the rim from scratches during tyre mounting and demounting.
Makes fitting the protector on and removing it quick and easy.
Conforms to the rim flange while resisting wear from tools.
Especially useful where even small marks are highly visible.

Application
The protector is fitted over the section of the rim flange where a tyre iron or the head of a tyre-changing machine will make contact with the wheel. This lets the tool slide against the protector rather than directly against the rim, cutting down the risk of scratches and dents. Once the tyre is mounted or removed, the protector comes off by pulling on the cord.

- Quick fitting and removal thanks to the pull cord
