    I like the topeak set with one longer lever and a shorter one that clips in.

    I use old steel levers covered in shrink tubing. No messing around no bending or snapping. I've had these since the 90s and get the job done every time... Even Marathon Plus tyres without a problem.

    I listened to my wheel builder, who talked me into trying Vittoria Corsa for my road tubeless set up.
    They are a perfect fit, with no tyre levers needed.
    The trick is to move the bead of the tyre to the groove in the middle of the rim, all the way around, and just pop the tyre off.

    I just changed a flat on the side of the road yesterday. My Giant TCR now has a tube for the first time. I snapped a cheap lever that was part of my multi-tool. Had to finish the job with one. It was too brittle. Too hard to get the job done.

    In my home ‘workshop’ I use the XL parktool metal levers for the tightest tyres as a last resort, together with a rim mounting jack by koolstop. Usually use the large Lezyne ones.
    But I carry on the road the combination chain tool / tyre levers, two tools in one. Several manufacturers make great ones, main difference is the price

      Metal? Isn't there a good chance of deforming the rim with a metal lever? Bike rims are so thin

    am using Zefal tricolor (3 pieces set). strong and quite safe for carbon rim. still try to avoid using it if possible.

    You should try mounting gravel kings to to sta tru wheels. Nearly impossible.

    Pedros win hands down.. I have the DH lever and only one time have I needed it. the plastic ones just get it done.. when they get a bit rough sand them down or re-purpose to a brake caliper tool.

    What!? I love my Pedros milk levers. Hdpe is the perfect material for levers. Only ever need one for all tyre combos

    Pedros. It's a statement to sell only 2 levers, especially as you will only need one of them.

      I didn't believe the hype but bought some for doing tubeless and they are simply brilliant.

    The old michelin (now zefal i think) are bomb. will never snap, flexy, but still stiff enough to get the tyre off, and thin so packing is easy

    A pair of "borrowed" spoons, a puncture repair kit and a bone spanner.......... those were the days, I could fix 99% of things on my bike as a kid with just those. :-)

    I have some metal ones from years ago that are quite good.
    I think I´ll put some electrical tape or something on the ends to try to reduce the chance of every causing any damage to a wheel rim.

    No better lever out there than the Schwalbe flat and wide ones. £3 for three of them, can't go wrong at that price. Great for removal and fitting due to the bead hook on the opposite end of the lever. That's assuming your rims aren't hookless I guess. Even persuaded a set of GP5000 TLs onto some particularly stubborn rims for me.

    • @manoz6194
      @manoz6194 2 года назад

      Just ordered them, might help mount my Schwalbe Marathon Pluses

    Sounds like you’re not used to road tubeless tyres, they will destroy many levers.

    I was so determined not to use levers on my old Peugeot that I split my thumb and bled on the tan wall.
