Pedro's Tire Lever

I have unfortunately had to use these a half dozen times now. They are great, solid and haven't snapped as others have said. I have really leaned into them, too, and backed off as I was forcing the tire off my rim, for fear of damaging my rim with too much force, or of snapping the lever. Bottom line, I feel, is if you are forcing the tire lever, it will break, regardless of build quality, unless it's metal. These are NOT carbon fibre, so why expect them to NOT break if you reef on them? But after a half dozen shoulder-of-the-road-in-the-sloshing-rain tube changes, I have to say my cute stubby Pink Pedros are still sweet! I chose pink for visibility in poor lighting, and to keep jealous friends from adopting them. Not that pink is a bad colour to own: I love the colour. But honestly, who else owns those hot pink Pedros, guys....those ARE mine, no you cannot keep 'em. They only cost $5. Buy your own. My only caveat is that I have wished for a third lever during each tire change. I have a real stiff bead on my touring tires, so two levers resulted in my needing to use some patience to pop the bead and remove the tire, for fear of snapping the lever. I may just buy another set just to own a third, but four in my saddle (seat) bag would be too much space taken.Edit: July 22, 2019...It's been 3 years, and I've used these a lot! Living on HWY 30, and using that route to travel between PDX and St Helens, along a shattered basalt gravel-strewn "bike lane" one will change or patch tires almost incessently. Schwalbe Marathons with their kevlar strip will only survive for so long, and so will the Pedros! Today one snapped. It felt like a stress break, ie. something that was building up to happen for a while. That said, nothing lasts forever, regardless of their advertising, and I'm still gonna get a new set. I put 'em through a lot. So I guess I'll forgive the one giving up the ghost. So, bear in mind that they are really tough, but you will eventually break one, because, how can you not occasionally reef on them, if you change your tire DOZENS of times. Still a five-star product, in my opinion!

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!

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 thought these were supposed to be the best tire levers?It was very tough to get them into the tire. i was using them on 29x2.5" MTB tires.Maybe there is a trick to using them? I thought they would work like a charm. I likehow they are wider than the typical ones. Maybe someone will comment and give mesome tips to using them?

Great feel in the hand with some kind of textured, slightly soft grip surface. Strong. One of those products that exceeds your expectations of quality when it arrives. I chose pink because I figure my mood could use some levity if I have to bust these out. So far I've used them to remove some stubborn Clement X'Plor MSO tubed tires and install Schwalbe G-One Speed tubeless tires. I tried using my old Quik Stik tire lever and its edge wasn't thin enough to get under the tire beads, but it was no problem for these. The levers clip nicely onto each other's backs and I easily fit two of them into my Revelate Jerrycan bag along with a spare tube and patch kit.

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.

Great tyre levers,best I've ever had. Far better than most,if not all,I have purchased and broken recently...

Simply the best tyre levers. Why buy anything else when you can get these at this price.

These tyre levers are simple and effective, seem to be well made for the money although, I haven’t used or had them long enough to comment on there durability. A three pack would be even better and they’re nice and light too, would recommend.

Good product

These tyre levers are the best I have ever used. Extremely robust and make changing tyres or repairing punctures so much easier/quicker.
