Product Description

CrankBrothers Speed Lever Tool makes removing and replacing a bicycle tire quick, easy and safe -- and it does it much better than conventional bike tire irons. One side of the head looks like a conventional tire iron and is used to remove the tire. The other hooks over the rim to lever the tire back on after you patch it. The long handle portion is actually three telescoping sections that extend to allow snapping one end onto the axle to hold it in place while you rip the other end along the rim. Fits all wheel sizes and comes with a lifetime warranty. Specs: Weight - 31 grams; Length - Six inches; Material - Polycarbonate.

Amazing Bike Tire Tool
This tool makes easier work of even the most difficult to install bike tires. I recently installed some Continental 4000 clinchers (700C), and read in a couple online forums that these were notoriously difficult tires to stretch onto the wheels. I don't know if I would have been able to get them on without this Crank Brothers Speed Lever. I may have gotten them on with another tool, but with much greater risk to damaging very expensive rims. This tool is simple to use, and makes most tire removal and install issues a snap.

Fast and works great
So my new bike has had 4 rear flats in 6 weeks. Both types of tires I've tried were incredibly hard to put on by hand - maybe 20 minutes of fighting every time. This device was awesome. I had a little trouble hooking the bead when removing the tire but installing the tire was effortless. I didn't have to worry about the tube being pinched or anything. It is also extremely light and easily carried. The only down side is that it is made of plastic and will probably break after a while. Until I find a tire, rim tape, tube combination that doesn't flat (my el cheapo hybrid never flatted in a year of riding) I will always have this while riding.

Didn't Work on My Road Wheels
I used the Speed Lever today on my 700c Campagnolo road rims and tried to mount a Michelin Krylion 700x23 tire. The Speed Lever simply didn't work. I ended up using my old Park tire levers.
