Full details

FAQs

What type of tires are these levers best for?

These levers are specifically designed for clincher tires, which are the most common type found on road, gravel, and touring bicycles.

Are these levers strong enough for tough tires?

Yes, they are made from strong composite plastic and are designed to be robust. However, for extremely tight tires, using two levers in conjunction is recommended.

Can I use these levers with tubeless tires?

While they might work in some situations, they are optimized for clincher tires. Tubeless tire removal can sometimes require different tools or techniques, and these levers may not be ideal.

How should I clean and maintain the tyre levers?

Simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use and ensure they are dry before storing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are these levers sold individually or as a set?

They are sold as a pair, providing you with two levers for efficient tire removal and installation.

What is the main advantage of these levers over cheaper plastic ones?

Their main advantage lies in their superior durability and the precision of their thin yet strong tips, which make tire removal easier and reduce the risk of damage to the rim or tube.

Troubleshooting

Tyre lever feels too stiff to insert

Ensure the lever is inserted at the thinnest point of the tip. If the tire is very tight, try slightly deflating the tube further or using a second lever to assist.

Lever slips off the rim during use

Ensure you have a firm grip on the lever. If hands are wet or sweaty, dry them and the levers before continuing. For very tight tires, ensure the lever is securely hooked under the bead.

Lever appears to be bending

While made of strong composite, excessive force can still cause bending. Reduce the applied force and try a different approach or insertion point. Ensure you are using them correctly for clincher tire removal, not prying against the rim excessively.

Pros and Cons

  • Exceptional durability due to strong composite construction.
  • Thin, effective tips make tire removal easier.
  • Comfortable grip enhances leverage and reduces hand fatigue.
  • Resistant to bending and breaking compared to cheaper alternatives.
  • Lightweight and portable for on-the-go repairs.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for clincher tires, may not be ideal for tubeless setups.
  • Higher price point compared to basic plastic levers.
  • Composite material can be slippery if hands are wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These tyre levers require no setup. Simply take them out of the packaging and they are ready for use.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with standard clincher tires. They are suitable for most road, gravel, and touring bicycle wheels fitted with clincher tires.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the levers clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Storage: Store the levers in a saddle bag, backpack, or tool kit. Ensure they are dry before long-term storage to prevent any material degradation.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the levers for any signs of wear or damage. While highly durable, extreme misuse could lead to wear over time.
