4.0 out of 5 stars A review that's actually for the levers. :D, November 11, 2009

Bought these last year and I'm happy with them.

Pros:

-Bulletproof, these things are freakin strong, I don't think you can break them. They were advertised to me as such, and I have to agree

-Smoother, thinner "scoop". Whatever the tip of the tool it called, I appreciated that these are thin and smooth, moreso than other tools I've used, helps get them in and slide them around easier.

-Ergonomic, they feel comfortable in my hands, when applying pressure with some of the more "square" tools, they tend to dig into my hands a bit, not these.

-Not a really big deal, but yeah they snap together so it's easy to keep them together, have never had them pop apart while in my bag/anywhere.

Cons:

-Cost? I'm not even looking around, but they seem a little pricey...for the last set of levers you'll probably ever need though. (then again how many would you need with a cheaper pair? probably the same)

-Size? A little longer/fatter than your average bike tool. They don't seem heavy but I know there are more compact bike levers that'd fit in a saddle bag, these wouldn't fit in smaller saddle bags.

All in all, recommended, can't really go wrong with them if you've already agreed to the price.

All other levers I've used break, or are not easy to use. These don't break. The longer one is perfect for getting the tire started. Even though there is a technique for removing tires without levers that I use sometimes, I still carry and use these. I have one for each of my three bikes.

Unfortunately for me, goatheads are a reality for my riding environment. That means I get to change tires more often than I would like.

I used several levers, but this one is the cat's meow. It gives great leverage, and even gets my tightest tires off the rim with ease. Unlike other levers, I haven't managed to break one of these yet. This is now the only type I carry.
