Cycling UK have finally reviewed the above. It comes out fairly well, but as others have observed, if the rim on one's wheel is over 3.3mm wide, there's a fit problem with the Glyder. So, in what I would have expected to be an obvious consideration, if you have rims evem 0.1mm wider, you'll have a bit of an issue using the Glyder effectively and will require some effort to get a tyre off and on again. :whistle:
The reviewers advice is unless you a confident of your rim withs, don't ditch the tyre levers. :okay:
 
@simongt, ride with Roy interviewed the creator and he explained how he has overcome the problem by filing in a wider notch, a V2 version is in progress which fixes this.

I have yet to find a rim & tyre combination that the tyre glider wouldn't work with. Makes me think the 3.3mm hook width is very uncommon for road bike componentry.
