Review - Pedros Tyre Levers

Hi Guys,
After reading the hype about pedros tyre levers and snapping all my ancient levers i decided to try some out
£1.99 from CRC (incl. P&P)

Other Products used

• Topeak Hexus Tyre Levers - Excellent
  
• This wierd extendable one - Excellent (took alot of abuse until it snapped - looked like the extendable park one)
  
• Welgo levers - Terrible
  
  

The First set:
Well the first set came the day after i had ordered them (good 'ol crc) unfortunatley one had snapped after attempting to take a tyre of for the second time (on the second wheel) i was not putting undue pressure on it. i have tried & used my topeak hexus multitool levers for around 2 years, i have only snapped 2 levers when i was exerting far more force than they should be subjected to (i am very pleased with these levers, best fucking tool i have ever bought)

Here are the pictures of the snap, say what you want, but i wasnt putting alot of pressure on this lever

The Second Set:
After a little email to CRC they agreed to replace my tyre levers agreeing it was a faulty lever, they have arrived today, i still feel very hesistant of taking tyre off so currently im being very careful with them

Heres some pictures of me taking off a tyre

Performance:
Apart from feeling a little brittle and weak (i think thats just paranoia created by myself from snapping one after barely any use) they performance is quite good.
Good points:

• double sided spoke clip
  
  
• Wide design, get more power into it
  
• stacable, you can 'clip' them together which is a nice space saving design and also makes it harder to lose 1 (but easier to lose all of them)
  
• the fact they are yellow and bright helps if you drop them out on a trail, makes them easier to spot
  
• they dont damage the tyre bead
  
• they 'slide' around the rim not marking it after taking a bit of the tyre off
  
  

Overall View:
I cant really comment at the moment but the new levers seem fairly promising and its nice having 3 now hehe i shall decide after a few months of use

I shall update this in a few weeks after doing some more testing
i hoped this was useful to someone and recommendations on other tyre levers would be nice :)
