Bead jack is just plan B, or maybe plan A if it makes the whol3 process even a few mins faster. But you are right that thing is super bulky for saddle bag or jersey pocket. Maybe I should just tape it on the tip tube haha.

See if you can find a VAR tool.. works well enough for 25mm tires, though once beyond 28mm tires I'm not sure. Size and shape works fine in eg. center rear jersey pocket.
