Review on SCHWALBE 1847 Bicycle Tire Levers by Shree Carmean

Holy Beauty Batman! These levers are absolute lifesavers. So I spent about a week and bought about 3-4 different levers to help me put the world's narrowest tire on the world's narrowest wheelset. Suffice to say I felt a little empty after these failed attempts. But there is hope for those trying to fit the Continental 5000 TL onto a tight wheelset. These are your levers! Some reviewers remarked that they act like a third hand. It's incredibly accurate. When I got these puppies I played around with them a bit to see how to use them and I had this hard SOB in seconds - using all three levers. I wrapped two levers around the narrow section and hooked the remaining lever under the Kevlar bead, and BAM! Like Donkey Kong. I couldn't believe it. These levers reignited my hopes that I could easily go tubeless if road repairs were ever needed. i will get it Even if I have to carry extra levers, I'm fine with that. Love her. Continental 5000 owners, look no further, you've found the perfect lever. Now for their durability. I found that they were a little more flexible than the traditional hard plastic arms, but I believe this gives them a little more appeal as they don't feel like they could damage your wheel or cut through your rim tape. The low profile definitely gives them the edge they need to sneak overboard and slide out without the risk of being pinched. I think they should hold up well for a long time, but that remains to be seen. If you only want to use them to mount tires I would go that route. hands down
