Hi All
After a set of tyre levers to carry with me, need to be small to fit in my Scicon 230 bag.
What do you use/carry ?
Cheers

it's really easy to use and nice and small0 -
To be honest I never really gave it much thought, I walked into LBS and grabbed the ones next to the till, they are tacx ones and work as intended.0

I use plastic ones from halfordsRichard

park tools - for no better reason than I had heard of Park Tools! Plus.

I like the look of those but can’t find them in the UK cheaply enough (£6 from Total Cycling) and don’t have a Decathlon store close by. Anyone knows where to get them apart from those two places?x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I've had a set for nerly a decade now and they're brill. I missplaced them a couple of years ago and bought some Park Tools ones thinking that with Parks reputation they'd be fine - they're not a patch on the Michelin ones. Nondescript, but brilliant.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -

You can actually buy specific levers for tyres? I have always used a couple of table spoons.
Never had a problem and they double up as eating utensils!!

the pedros' ones are wide and very stiff, so you can get the tightest of tyres off. But they are made from plastic so you don't damage your rims.0

Not Park ones, they're rubbish0

have the cheap ones but got one of the speedlevers and now that is all I use.0

Dunno - it's telescopic mind, so fairly short. I wouldn't want to be without mine.
