Pedro'sDownhill Bicycle Tire Lever, Black/Yellow

The carbon wheels on my bike don’t have much space in between the rim sides. This leaves little space for the tire sidewall to go when tire changing. I was using motorcycle tire irons for the job. These added to the tightness. These Pedro’s are thin king and strong. Just what I needed. The angst of changing tubeless tires on carbon wheels is gone.

This is what we used for levering out fork seals at a bike shop I worked at. Got one for my own personal use. Works great for that purpose. Otherwise, it might be useful for moto tires, but way overkill for bike tires. The Pedro's plastic tire levers are among the best for that purpose.

I've been using these levers for about 7 years and I still have my original pair. I use this lever for my surrey bicycle rental business and I ordered more to have some on hand at other locations. For those of you who don't know, a surrey bike uses motorcycle/moped wheels and tires. Very heavy duty rims and spokes with a wire bead motorcycle rated tire. This type of tire can be very difficult to mount and these levers make the job much easier. I mount many tires and I've never had one break on me but then I have never had the need to use a hammer to tap theses levers as mentioned in one review. Bike guys know this but for those of you who don't know a screwdriver should never be used to mount a bicycle tire of any kind. You risk damage to the wheel, tire puncture and possible injury to your hand as a screwdriver can be very sharp. The spoon shape and smooth edges of these levers make it almost impossible to cut your hand if you slip. Here's an important tip: These levers work best in pairs... you really need at least 2 levers working together to mount a tire properly. I also like this price as compared to other websites and what a bike shop charges for this product. I highly recommend these levers.

Love this tool for getting fork seals out of the lowers without marring them.

Great product makes tire changes easier. Prompt delivery

I put those never-inflate tires on my bike, but I had to buy them one at a time over a couple of months for mine and my son's bikes (kind of pricey). The first tire I tried so hard to get installed, I used Vaseline to grease the rims and tied tire levers in place with shoestrings, grunted and groaned and I think I sprained my hand trying for five hours to get the tire back in place. Finally I took my tire to a bike shop and asked in my sweetest voice if they could please help. They pulled out one of these and had it on in less than a minute. I promptly bought one for my remaining three tires. I'll never need to use it again, unless we get new bikes, because I won't have flat tires anymore, but it was SO worth the few bucks to be able to install the never-inflates in so little time.

The functionality of this tool is wonderful— it flat out works great. The quality of the tool, however, is ... meh...The handle is dollar store quality. Like most Pedro’s products I’ve bought recently, it arrived looking slightly used. Not like it was actually used, just rather scuffed and tatty. Shelf-worn might describe it best. I personally find it annoying when I buy anything (even a tool) brand new and it arrives looking as if it has already been rattling around in the bottom of my tool box for a year.

It all started when I got a flat on the trails. I used regular tire levers and it took me over 20 minutes of fighting with the tire to remove it. I looked for a better solution and found this tool. All I can say is WOW! I use this in conjuction with the levers. I first use two levers to lift and lock the tire, and then use this to run the rest of the tire out of the rim. It's a bit big and heavy, but it has to be to provide good leverage. I use this on my cross country mountain bike with 26x2.1 tires.

Wer es satt hat, sich ständig Fingernägel und Reifenheber aus Kunststoff kaputt zu machen, der landet bei massiveren Werkzeugen. Der von Pedro ermöglicht eine einfachere Gangart und bessere Hebelkraft. Aufpassen, dass man sich die Felgenkanten nicht kaputt macht, muss man eh' immer!
