Changing a tire that I had installed backwards, like a careless idiot. I think I’d rather have a broken rim. RIP, little buddy.

Old GT AA tires I have on my Auburn were such a pain to get on. I broke a few levers and had to go the screwdriver method.
Always a pain in the ass. My buddy had some metal ones once but you run the risk of scratching your rim up if you care about that lol
They warranty those I thought .

I’ve got a cinema Reynolds’s rear rim and it’s such a pain to get any tire on or off. Never had any problems with the rim though, super durable. But man when I get a flat….
While you lever one part of the bead up, push the rest of it back into the centre of the rim, where the rim dips down. It buys you the extra slack not to fight the tire.
I’ve always just used a butter knife.
Those were my favorites when I worked in a bike shop!!
My favorite tire levers are my lezyne metal levers. No tire can resist them.
Can get most on and off with no levers if you know the methods..
Ive torqued the shit out of the park tool levers and haven’t snapped any. Idk if my experience is unique, but so far they have been awesome.
Fuck those plasic ones xd i made my own tire levers at work last month
I’d still vote for Pedro.
You want a Topeak Shuttle tyre lever. I had odyssey Gouin tyres on g sport rim, they worked when nothing else would.
They also worked for some road and track bike tyres.
Consider any of levers as consumables
I paid for park tools and they gone in the same way
