Pedro's Unisex Adult Tyre Levers Yellow Tyre Levers Yellow - Yellow,.

Product Information

Thetyre lever, though seemingly one of the simplest and most basic of cycling tools, is one commonly used by almost every cyclist, and unfortunately, one often responsible for unnecessary frustration. Really, what is more fun than flatting far away from home, being thrilled you lugged that spare tube and pump, and then having your tire levers snap in two? Not that they are available anymore, but I love my mid 90s Pedros Milk Levers, made from recycled plastic milk bottles.

Their ergonomic shape means the Pedro’s levers sit comfortably in your palm while wrenching a tight bead off the rim. They even come in a range of bright colours, making them hard to lose in the dirt.Edit: found that they are sold separately though they're still expensive for what they are: https://www.highonbikes.com/products/vittoria-air-liner-tubeless-tyre-fitting-tool an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product

Tyre levers are very intuitive to use, with the lever only needing to be positioned under the bead and pushed downward to release the tyre from the rim. Never had a problem since. Although once they've been on the rim and ridden the GP4000s are much easier to take off and refit This comment needs a lot more likes. I have them on my commuter and is one of the few adverts I have seen where they get a variety of people including a child riding over a sea of broken glass. The Muc-Off Rim Stix, while a little bulky, are very strong tyre levers that can help get even the most stubborn tyres off the rim. Key to the design is a very slim hooked profile on a fairly wide overall shape. It's easy to fit this under the tyre bead and make that initial pull off the rim.

Either end is labelled with ‘Remove’ or ‘Install’ and the installation end clips to the rim, seemingly regardless of width or whether the rim is hookless or not. Presumably for the same reason that Park Tool have bothered to trademark the colour blue in the first place - i.e. the colour becomes associated with the brand and so people are more likely to buy it. In this instance I would guess Park Tool products are associated with being high quality and reliable, and Schwalbe felt it was worth paying to cash in on that reputation.

Or maybe they want anybody using blue to pay them money? (extorsion? many companies used blue - ex. Tacx). I'm also thinking of european tool company Unior that has changed its cycling tools to red.
