Gorilla Force Ultra Strong Bike Tire Levers | 4 Pack | Lava Red

I have not used them yet, but they look nice and stout. One of the livers from my last set was broken when I was changing installing my new tubeless 29 inch tire. This appears to be more prepared to deal with. Additional force needed!and I like that there are four in the package

The levers are easy to use, even with stubborn tires. I put them in both the repair kits. The bright orange color makes them easier to find out on the trail. They feel durable, and if I snap one they'll replace it.

Plastic material will not scratch you rims, the size of the tool is quite large and there is a nice feature: they lock together so they are not combersome to store. All in all a simple tool that does the job well, no downside to this.

These levers are decent. I’ve used them a few times. I have both mountain and road bikes. Obviously, they’re plastic - and based on some reviews saying that they’ve broken, I make an effort not to over-stress them. None have broken, thus far. (knock on wood). The design is OK. But I admit, I wish the lip of the lever was a little bigger/deeper. Sometimes they slip loose - which can kinda suck. One thing that’s a little unexpected, but has been noticeable and repeated, is how easily they accumulate dirt and oily smudges. I wash them with Dawn and it takes more scrubbing than I would expect to get them clean. All-in-all, they’re pretty good levers. But they’re not perfect.

Some combinations of rim and bike tire come apart quite easily. You deflate the tube if not already deflated, push in the stem (unscrew the knurl on presta valves) to take away possible pressure from the reinforced tube around the stem, push in on the tire next to the rim on one side all the way around to move the bead off the ridge and into the center of the rim which is slightly deeper, then you use the resulting space to pop the bead over the rim near the valve stem (since the other side has more freedom to fully move into the center of the rim without obstruction).But some combinations of rim and tire are quite tight! Then you need leverage, preferably without pinching the tube and ruining it. Plastic levers with a little curl on the end to catch the tire bead do the trick. If they are thick, they weigh a tiny bit more, but they don't break and are easier to hold. When it's really tight, you may need to place one, hooking the other end around a spoke, then add a second or even a third tire lever.These levers were well-priced and do the trick.They did not exactly press together for storage as a group when not in use like the park tool version, if that matters to you. There was enough variance that sometimes they popped back apart after being stacked together, at least in the ones I received.I have various ones of these, but I like to take several in each bike bag in case I need to remove a tire on a ride. These work well enough to be my first choice at home in the shop as well.

These tire levers are are strong and get the job done without marring your rims. I like that they nest together, so they aren’t floating around your bag separately.

I bought a set in 2019. I've restored/flipped over 20-odd bikes since then and have done numerous tube/tire swaps on my own rides all on the same 4 levers.They still look brand new. These are one of the rare items that I think do qualify as a "buy it for life" thing. Really great stuff.

They work as intended.
