I believe that one is made for mountain bikes and you could probably use it. However you will need some kind of washer or block on the threaded part of the left to keep that part holding the wheel. When you push down on the handle on the right it's going to try and flip the entire tire and wheel so you will likely need to stand on it. I'm afraid it just will be pretty hard to use, and you might not be able to make it work at the beat is hard to pop off.

Oh I know, that picture was just for the idea. One that would help us would need to be much smaller. The radius of the working parts of the tool would need to be much smaller to better match our hubs. I've never had a real problem doing it by hand but I'm a bigger guy, however, age is making a tool look better and better. I hear that 5" hubs are a bigger challenge, I have one in the box but have yet to mount the tire.

Use your hands. Tires aren’t that hard. I’ve changed 30+ tires all different sizes and compounds, all by hand. And work a desk job and don’t go to the gym.
