Pedro's Bicycle Tire Lever - Pair

Practically indestructible, light, and very functional. Plus they clip together. And are affordable in case you lose them despite their bright colors.

This is supposedly the "elitist tire lever. - someone on Reddit" It won't break the bank, it is a really sturdy plastic, they seem like they will last a very long time and even so, a second set doesn't set you back much at all. The first time I inserted one into the gap of my tire and rim, it went in really easy, and was able to take the entire tire out of the rim smoothly with the other. It shows signs of wear after first use, even worse after second use. At the parts where the lever meets tire, there's a good chance it's going to leave a rubber skid mark on it. That is what it's supposed to do though, and it hasn't affected the performance of it from my use. Use these or something like the material used, not metal, I can now see why a metal level would damage a rim.TLDR; Good Value, no 'BS' bike tire levers. Lightweight, durable, easy to use. Shows signs of use immediately.

Very sturdy. The smaller flexible ones that come with most tubes may suffice for certain beads, but for a sturdy tire and/or tight beads, don’t waste your time and headache messing with those. These are much stronger and obviously bigger, which in turn helps with control and provides better leverage. Removing tubeless tires is very easy, but the real test was reinstalling them, and I’ve done 2 sets so far with great success. Mix some dish soap with warm water and spray on the bead and wheel, and the tires come off and on effortlessly with these. With the smaller ones, you have to deal with so much flex, which traditionally leads to snapping or making it very hard to get tight beads over the lip. If anyone on here said that “they are too heavy to bring on the trail,” then they must not wear a belt because these are lighter than one. I’m sure we can all blow the few dollars that these costs and then some on nonsense, so why sweat the price for the ease and durability that these provide.

⁃ If you are planning to remove bicycle tires from the rims and replace them and/or replace the tubes, this type of tool is a must have. There is no other way to remove these tires as the inner edge is embedded on the rim.⁃ I am refurbishing an older model barn-find Cannondale 3.0 Criterium SR2000 Race bike and I got it with winter rotted tires. So, I needed these tire levers to remove the tires that were on there. The tires were Continental Superport 700 x 25C on a Sunrims M13 II 6061 alloy 622 x 18mm rim and a Weinmann 622/70 rim⁃ These tools worked well for the job. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the removal of tires so that I would have an idea as I had never done this before. I depressed the presta valve piston on the tubes to let out the remaining air.⁃ I then used one of the tire levers, using the curved hooked side, to clamp the inner edge of the tire, making sure that I was not close to the presta valve. I also made sure not to hook the inner tube itself.⁃ I then took the other lever and inserted it about 6 inches away from the first lever and hooked the inner edge of the tire.⁃ I then took the second lever and moved it round the rim till the inner edge was separate from the tire rim.⁃ I repeated this on the opposite side and the tire was completely free from the rim.⁃ I made an error (rotation/direction was on wrong side) when installing the one of new Schwalbe Lugano tires 700 x 25C and I used these tire levers to remove the new tire and switch directions/rotation side and it worked perfectly too.⁃ Would recommend them. Make sure you are gentle and make sure that you clamp the tire edge and avoid the inner tube if necessary.

I haven't had to use them yet, but they seem very sturdy. I was worried about the size based on the reviews, but they are not too big to fit in a bag like some say. I have a small bag for my keys, multi-tool and phone, and these fit in it just fine with those other items. The only downside is they are quite heavy for something this small. I was surprised when I opened them how heavy they felt. If you're looking for something to carry and worry about adding weight to your bike then these are not for you. I guess that's the trade off for the sturdiness.

I recently signed up with Team In Training to do a 60 mile off road mountain bike race. I've ridden bike on solid surface for years, but have never taken the time to learn how to maintain my bike. Now that I'm off road, everything has changed. It wasn't long before I had to change a flat tube. One of my teammates had a three lever set and showed me how to change the tube. At that point, I knew I had to get my own levers. I chose Pedro's because of the high ratings even though these are nothing like what I had just previously used.A couple weeks later, I hit a rock and burst my tube. This time I was on my own and used my new levers. These levers are much thicker and sturdier. One side slides up under the tire, while the other notched side fastens securely on a spoke when needed. Even though I had one less lever, changing the tube was much simpler than using my teammate's three lever set. Then once finished, the levers snap together for convenient storage.If you are looking for a quality set of tire levers, Pedro's bicycle tire levers are an excellent choice. Don't let the lack of a third lever dissuade you, it won't be missed.PROS:Sturdy plastic constructionSnaps together for storageSimple to useCONS:None that I can think of
