Tyre Lever is a nifty little tool that makes the fitting and removal of tyres quicker and easier for not a lot of outlay. It works on the majority of tyre and wheel combinations while also removing the risk of pinching the inner tube; get a stubborn tyre and rim pairing, though, and it's no better than a standard lever.
Over the last six weeks I've tested or been in the process of testing about five sets of wheels and at least eight pairs of tyres, ranging from skinny race rubber through to 2.1in-wide gravel tyres, so the Speedier Lever has seen plenty of work.
How it works is simple. At one end you have a standard looking curved hook, like any other tyre lever on the market, for removing the tyre. Tuck it in under the bead of the tyre and whizz it around the rim, popping the tyre over the outside edge of the wheel.
The lever is designed so that you wrap your fingers around the bottom flat section and the D-shaped section protects you from scraping the bark off your knuckles should the lever slip.
the bead is really tight, you'll still need two levers, one to hook the sidewall of the tyre up so that you can slip the other lever in and start going around the rim.
I had no real issue removing any tyres, to be honest, and apart from the knuckle protection it works just like any other lever.
At the opposite end you'll see that there is a different style of hook, one that drops down, leaving a slot between it and the D-section of the lever. This is designed to slot over the rim's edge to help reinstall a tyre. It's got a bit of flex to it so it does work on a variety of rim wall widths.
The idea is that you get a bit of the tyre seated, place the hook of the lever between rim and tyre and pull the lever around the wheel. As it goes round it pushes the unseated edge of the tyre up and over the rim and seats it.
If you have a favourable tyre and wheel combination it works a treat, and is much quicker than feeding the tyre on with just your thumb and fingers. You also have the bonus of not pinching the inner tube, as it is tucked away safely behind the tyre.
Some tyres and wheels just don't hit it off, though, something I've noticed a bit more lately, with some manufacturers using the new standard of tight tolerances for tubeless tyres but some wheel makers not. This can make some tyres a very tight fit indeed.
