Whilst training Jane on Tubeless puncture repair we found she had GREAT DIFFICULTY in pushing the reamer into the tyre, I also had some difficulty in inserting the reamer into the tyre when it had a low leak on the Stillbaai ride,(very tiny hole). Seeing Jane struggle I took the reamer and sharpened it..to a chisel point, with a file. MUCH! better!! Will now do likewise to my reamer...the BMW kit one; a reamer and insertion tool in one. Reamer sharpened to a chisel point..front veiw.: Used a file to sharpen it. Sharpened reamer, side veiw I have now chisel pointed my BMW reamer/ insertion tool, and also made a hole blocker from an old key... this blocks the hole while the BMW ream/ insert tool is being fitted with a string. Chisel pointed BMW reamer / insert tool: With the hole blocker.
