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

This was a gift for a kid that didn't have tools to change their tire. No complaints.

Producto excelente y fuerte. Facil manejo.

I've been lucky, so I haven't had to put these levers to the task, yet. BUT, the reason I bought, and didn't return them, is that they are very sturdy looking, much more so than others that come as a bonus with new tires, and much more so than other levers that I've reviewed. Four stars instead of five, because they are a little short, and tubeless tires require levers with a lot of, well, leverage. Also, there are more than two to a set, and that will be a big plus!

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.

They work as intended.

Changed 8 tires, road and mountain:.. Pretty solid for most things and have become the go-to for me. These are great at removing a tire because the tip side-profile shape is aggressive and thin. They can really get under a tire. The normal Pedro ones can still be better for installing a really tight tire though when you just need some brute force to grip the rim and pop the tire over. I use both depending on the tire but prefer to use these if I can.

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.
