Bought these when I read the horror stories of cyclists who fitted Schwalbe Marathon plus tyres,others who tried and failed to fit them.Iwas so spooked at the same time I go a kool -stop bead jack,and a crankbrothers speedier lever.In the end the tyres arrived well before the levers.After a few days I thought I'll give it a go with the free tyre levers I got with my puncture outfit.The tyres fitted easily with the help of soapy water.But I now feel equipped to tackle any tyre problem that comes my way.The rear tyre I fitted with bare hands. The Schwalbe tyre levers now sit in my emergency kit I carry as my cycle is my only transport.With a elastic band around them they fit together very compact.

These little levers are wonderful and make changing tubes an easy task. The job I specifically got them for was changing out the wheel (which was bent). Naturally, I wanted to ensure that the tube did not get punctured in the process, and I must say that these levers delivered. Not only was the tube not punctured or damaged in any way, but the whole process went even more smoothly than I had anticipated. Using three levers (as opposed to two) makes the job much easier and quicker, and the fact that they are plastic reduces the chance of damaging your tube or wheel.These Schwalbe levers feel very strong and durable, and I don't anticipate having the replace them (maybe ever).

Excellent design to a simple tool they look nice and professional. I have not had the chance to use them yet but the Schwalbe name is well renowned so I don't expect to have any issues when I do. They are a nice bright colour so shouldn't get lost in the grass either. As always an excellent purchase. Two small things that aren't worthy of any real concern are:- I received a different design to the one featured on the product view, luckily these are even better than what I thought I was buying. I presume a newer revision of the tool. Not a problem but Amazon should update the images.- I cant seem to find anyway to clip the three levers together apart from using the elastic band that comes with them.

I like the way that two of the levers can be clipped strategically onto the rim to hold the tyre securely inside, leaving both hands free to to lever the last awkwardly tight bit in over the rim to complete the fitting process. That is a devilishly simple innovation that sets this set of bicycle tyre levers apart from the rest for sheer practical efficiency alone. I like 'Schwalbe's' tyres and associated products a lot and have learnt to consider them first before looking at other manufacturers products these days, and for good reason too. The quality is just better....simple as that. Mind you, I don't know why some other reviewers have stated that the levers clip together for storage 'cos mine don't.

The Schwalbe Bicycle Tire Levers, which come in a pack of 3, are the best I've used as an everyday bicycle commuter living in an urban environment prone to potholes, sharp debris, and all kinds of other factors which make the changing of an inner tube necessary every once in a while. These tools allow me to do the job more quickly and without the risk of puncturing my inner tube once it has been installed, which was the problem with the other pair of tire levers I owned which were made of metal and often ripped through a newly installed inner tube. The price is right plus they are small and clip together, so they're very convenient for storage purposes.

I have not yet had the opportunity to use these levers yet but I believe they will be fine. I like the way they snap together, making a compact size which is perfect for any bike toolkit bag. Although they are lightweight, they appear to be quite sturdy. There are many different tire levers out there but I chose Schwalbe because I figured they know a thing or two about tires since they make they best bicycle tires in the world, The price was good and they were shipped from China. I was not provided a tracking number and was a little concerned because they took a few weeks to arrive. No complaints though. Can't beat free shipping. I recommend these levers if you don't mind the wait.

This is a great set of tire levers. They do look a bit fragile in images, but once you get a hold of them, you realize how sturdy they are. They fit into each other for ease of transport - doesn't take up too much space in a small bag you can take on rides.Granted, they are made of plastic, so it is recommended to combine a couple if you require the extra lever strength. Although I haven't had to do that yet, I can see these breaking if too much force is used (they are plastic after all). I would recommend these to anyone looking for tire levers.

$12 for 3 little pieces of plastic sounds like such a rip off. After getting a new tire with a stiff bead, I had sore thumbs for weeks after trying to put the tire on without a tool. I had a pair of old tire levers, so I tried those. One broke, and the shape was not optimal. In the end, I punctured the tube using the poor levers. Then I ordered these tire levers. 10 minutes later and my tube is replaced, with little effort, and no sore thumbs. These still seem pricey, but they work great, and are so worth the money spent.

These levers are well designed and appear to be quite sturdy although I have not used them enough yet to be sure how long they will last. The hook is properly shaped to pry the first part of the tire out and then you can slide the hook around the rim to peel the rest out. Having three levers in the kit is very useful. They snap together when you are not using them which makes them easier to keep track of. They might be a little bulky for an emergency kit although they do not weigh much.

These are GREAT levers, probably one of the best I've used / own. I admittedly have several of nearly every brand that I find just to see what works best for me and for various applications. So far these have never let me down and always grab the bead no problem. That said; I would be careful that you don't nick the tube with them. They are a bit more 'sharp' on the bead side, something I actually like. They grab on easily, even in the shallowest of rims and work great otherwise.

These work easily with Schwalbe marathon plus tyres, so I expect they will work for anything. Massively reduces the risk of damaging the inner tube. The 'mounting' mode clip system is very smart. The design is so good that I suspect there is a reason why they do not have a clip to hold them together, although perhaps that will come in the next version. If you are using easy tyres then maybe one of the levers seems superfluous, but it's very convenient in any case to have three.

These are the world's best tire levers. Loosely modeled after the old Wheelsmith tire levers, which I believe are now out of production and were at the time the world's best tire levers. The Schwalbe units, dang, they got it right. I use these in my bike shop. And I use them hard. Narrow to fit under tight-fitting tires, perfect shaped hook, wide for strength, great plastic compound also for strength. Burn your old tire levers, you'll never need them again.

A tough yet light set of three tyre levers which are wide enough to avoid bending and snapping under stress, but are short enough to provide sufficient leverage to remove a tight wire beaded road tyre.One end is shaped to slide easily under the tyre and a hook at the other clips firmly onto the spoke. They clip together to form a unit, and look good too with a large Schwalbe logo embossed on each lever.An essential low cost item for the bike.

When got a flat and needed to replace the inner tube at the side of the road and found out how rubbish the tyre levers that came with my pump where. Took ages to get the tyre off and snapped two of them.Purchased some Schwalbe tyres so purchased these levers at the same time and boy what a difference. Tyre off and replaced and back on again in a fraction of the time. Well thought out design, strong and easy to use with really good instruction.

I purchased these in Sep 2015 and have now had reason to use them a few times to prise off the tyres on my hybrid bike. They performed perfectly every time and I'm amazed at how strong they are - you keep thinking that they'll break but somehow, seemingly against the laws of physics, they don't. As a bonus, they all clip together nicely so I can always find them in my spares bag when needed. Most definitely recommended.
