Thanks, will have a think as ideally I want to put them in a tool tube and they're a bit long for that I think.

What do you want for them?

 

[Lord Vader]

How about cabletie them to the frame?
No idea what they are worth? Let me have a look

£20 & postage?

I have a set. They are very good, I tend to carry four bars much easier to remove tubeless tyres and hard wall nasty ones.

Oh rubbish,you carry a J which needs no tyre levers just brute force

thanks for the offer Pete but I've ended up going for a set of these

DRC Tyre lever and wrench

They'll fit in the tool tube and do away with the need to carry spanners as well

Ian,can you wait till Saturday? I will be looking for something else in the garage and bound to find the tyre leavers straight away If i go now in the half dark garage i never find them in all the sh*t i got in there

I knew that would work
One of them fell on my foot





Any good Ian? They are the long ones

I have a set of these and they work great but a bit heavy to carry, the curve makes it easy to fit the tyre on with the tube inside in one go. As I swop over tyres a lot I have an MX tyre changer with a foot operated bead breaker at home, I carry smaller levers, spare front tube (does both ends), small bottle of gel, mini pump, MX valve puller & bead buddy all gets used a lot on trail rides.

Ian, I'd go with the long ones from Vader. I have them. Anything less and getting a rear off would be a PITA. The main advice is to get the tyre off as quickly as you can once you get a puncture. A warm tyre is much easier than a cold tyre.

Just wait until you decide to fit a brand new rear tyre in the middle of winter with freezing cold hands and tyres. Then you'll wish you'd spent the previous six months in the gym.

thanks guys but this is a bit of an old thread now and I have the DRC ones

I have used them a few times now and they are fine for what I need
