CushCore Bead Bro Tubeless Tyre Installation Tool

The CushCore Bead Bro is a simple but incredibly effective MTB tubeless tyre installation tool designed to make difficult tyre setups dramatically easier. Engineered by CushCore specifically for modern tubeless mountain bike tyres and tyre inserts, the Bead Bro acts like a “third hand” during tyre installation by securely holding the tyre bead deep in the rim channel while you complete the remaining section of the tyre. 

Modern MTB tyres, downhill casings and tyre insert systems are tighter than ever, especially on carbon rims and high-retention tubeless wheelsets. The CushCore Bead Bro solves one of the biggest frustrations in tubeless installation by preventing the tyre bead from slipping back out of the centre channel during fitting. This creates additional slack in the tyre, making installation significantly easier with less force and less risk of damaging expensive rims or tyre beads.

The Bead Bro locks securely onto the rim using a rubber bumper that will not scratch or damage carbon or alloy wheels. Multiple spoke holder channels allow compatibility across a wide range of rim widths, making it an essential workshop tool for MTB riders, mechanics and home bike builders.

Whether you are installing CushCore inserts, DH tyres, Enduro casings or tight tubeless combinations, the Bead Bro makes tyre fitting faster, easier and far less frustrating.

Why Use the CushCore Bead Bro?

Tubeless tyre installation can become extremely difficult when working with modern MTB tyres and inserts. The CushCore Bead Bro keeps the tyre bead fully dropped into the rim centre channel, helping maintain maximum slack while mounting the final section of tyre.

This greatly improves installation efficiency and reduces the likelihood of damaged tyre beads, scratched rims or broken tyre levers during setup.
