Cheap and Effective, August 18, 2010
|
|
|
I've used them many times now and they're still around. There are times it feels like one is going to snap off while trying to pry a reluctant roadie tire off the bead, but it hasn't happened yet. For as cheap as they are I guess I could have given 5 stars, but they are marking up a little now and if they were made of a stronger material perhaps they could have been a bit thinner to take up just a bit less room in my saddle bag. But overall very worth the money.

what is expected, July 12, 2010

No frills, but what I expected to receive. They're sitting in my bike bag for an emergency use so I have not used them. But they look decent and solid built.

 Not for use on tight tires, June 15, 2010
|
|
Disappointing product. 2 sets were purchased for the road kit and the home kit to replace the Wrench Force 3 piece lever set that was lost. The Wrench Force were reliable and held up to several uses to change tubes as well as to remove and replace worn tires.
Used first time to change tire on 1998 GT Backwoods mountain bike I picked up at garage sale for $5 because the original tires were rotted, but nothing else was wrong with the bike--go figure.
Nevertheless, taking off the GT's old rotted tires was not as difficult with the levers as installing the new replacements. Installing the new tires was a mission. The replacement tire was a 26" x 1.75" and a tight fit on the Weinnmann rims. Last 7 or so inches of tire would not go on and the levers bent in the process and were rendered useless. Had to use the handle end of a spoon from our household silverware that was like Pedro's steel downhill tire lever to pop the remainder of the tire on each rim respectively.
I'm glad I was not on the road with the TL-1 set and had to change a tire. Don't know if the same would result with road bike tires.
The good thing was I contacted Park Tools. The customer service rep recommended their TL-4 set (2 in the package) for mountain bike size type tires and sent me a set. I have yet to try the TL-4 set, but I'm giving this product 2 stars since Park stood behind this product. Otherwise I would have given 1 star as the description would better serve the consumer with the recommendation that this product is not for use with tight fitting tires or mountain bike type.
I'm also thinking of purchasing Park's TL-5 heavy duty steel set or Pedro's Downhill Tire Lever to have on hand for those tough tires that are hard to reinstall with conventional levers.

 Didn't Really Seem Necessary, May 21, 2010
|
|
|
I ordered these and they work but they don't really seem necessary. If I was a bike shop owner I would certainly own these but if your like me and only have to change tires once every few years you should be able to do without them. They also seem kind of flimsy but they didn't break when I used them.

 Never been easier to change tubes, March 18, 2010
|
|
|
Back in Soviet Russian we used to do with bare hands and/or tools. This is a far cry from those times. And instead of taking 15 minutes the process of changing a tube takes 3 minutes. Sturdy, well designed levers, and they come in a trio.
