Tire Lever

These may seem super simple, but don't be fooled: they are REALLY helpful for changing tubes and tires on bikes! If you do your own maintenance on your bike, you need a pair of these guys! I am a daily commuter, and I ride my road bike all around town. Sometimes, I'm a little rougher with my bike than it would probably like. That means I need to change my tubes every so often when my bike catches a staple or a nail as I ride past various construction zones (which are everywhere) in my city. I changed my tubes a few times without these, and it was a major pain, and I even scratched up my rims a little bit the last time I changed the tubes. After that, I decided to invest a reasonable amount of money on these because they weren't too expensive. I couldn't be happier! These make changing your tires incredibly easy, and they aren't too flimsy. I expect they will work for quite a few tire changes, and for the price they can't be beat! If you, like me, change your own tires or tubes, do yourself a favor and pick up a set of these. They will make that process MUCH more enjoyable. Let me know if this review was helpful, or if you have any questions, and I'll try to respond to any that you might have!

Now that I know how to use them, Pedro's tire levers have worked well and will not damage the rim or tires. The first time I went to use them on my road bike tires, I snapped the tip off of one of the tire levers. I then realized that the spoon part of the levers, that goes under the tire bead, is much thicker at the base than at the tip (makes getting them under the bead easier). Once you have the tip of the lever under the bead, be sure you use the base to leverage the tire against the rim to pull it off. If the lever is not seated under the tire bead far enough, when you go to take the tire off the rim, the leverage will be on the tip of the lever and will cause the tip to snap off since that is the weakest part. I contacted Pedro's on their Website for a replacement under their lifetime warranty, which was hassle free. They had me email them a claim form with a picture of the broken lever and they promptly sent out a new pair to me. Before the Pedro's tire levers I used a Quik-Stik Tire Changer (colors may vary) which is harder to get under the tire bead and can damage the tire bead when used repeatedly. The spoke clip on the Pedro's lever is a plus as well. Overall I would rather use the Pedro's lever and I save the Quik-Stik for an emergency.

This is the industry standard. The competitors try to make it a single tool and say it better. But realistically this is the best product I’ve used for tire replacement. It’s small. It fits in my small tool bag. It’s easy to use. Low weight high quality. I have bought at least 5 sets.

Very heavy duty. Slightly larger then traditional tire levers, so there easy to grip. I'm glad I bought these.

Rated one of the best. After trying, I feel they probably are. I have a box of old levers. And I think these are my "go to's "now. I also have the single piece Crank Bros lever. The first one broke /cracked on my first pry attempt. Crank Bros replaced it no issue immediatley, but, I rather use these Pedros Levers now.

Great

I've been cycling for almost 20 years. I'm a snob in that I believe you should have tire irons, patch kit, and tube always with you (or some combination of CO2, new tube etc). These are the irons I've always used, and every time I lose one I buy this brand and type. Knock on wood, I don't get a lot of flats, but when I change tires or change tubes, 2-3 of these are all I ever need. I've never had one break on me, they are easy to "clip" onto the spokes. Simple, effective, no need for anything else. Could use many more products like that in our lives!!

I have a pair of very tight 700cx32 hybrid tires on 35mm wheels. The bead is so tough that I've broken about a half dozen generic, cheap tire levers. I didn't even know there was a better option until I got these. Not only are they basically unbreakable, they made getting the tire off and back on an extremely easy task. I was surprised when the first time I used them to put a tire back on after fixing a flat, the tire just popped over the rim and into place, where normally I have to fight the tire for the last few inches. They don't even cost much more than a set of cheap levers, but they're clearly superior. UPDATE: More than three and a half years later, I have gone through at least five tires and three rims, and I'm still carrying the same tire levers.
