Schwalbe Quality Tire Levers

You could say I'm a Schwalbe fan. I have ridden Schwalbe tires for many years and have clocked many thousands of marathon miles (I ride about 8000 miles on one set). And I don't get many flat tires. quality material. These tire levers are in the same class as their tires. Strong without being bulky. In fact, they maybe a little heavier than others, but others break, so what's the point? These levers are bolted on so I don't have to rummage through my tool bag to find them - if I can find one, I've found them all. They're also long enough to provide the right amount of leverage for removing stubborn tires. And the part that goes under the tire bead isn't so long that I was afraid to puncture the chamber and rip the tire off. (If you have a REALLY tight tire, use two levers at a time to pry the tires. The levers ARE plastic and using two levers spreads the load. I broke one of the Zefal levers I've had for years, without doing so.)
