FAQs
How many tire levers are in a set?
Each set includes three BBB BTL-81 Easy lift Tyre Levers.
What material are these levers made from?
They are made from durable, hardened plastic.
How do the levers store together?
The levers feature a click-together system that allows them to snap together for compact storage and portability.
What are the dimensions of a single lever?
Each lever measures approximately 28mm in width, 114mm in depth, and 17mm in height.
Are these levers suitable for tubeless tires?
While primarily designed for standard tires, they can be used for tubeless setups, though care should be taken not to damage the sealant system.
What is the weight of the set?
The set of three levers weighs approximately 35 grams.
Can these levers damage my rims?
When used correctly, the hardened plastic is designed to be safe for most rim types. Avoid excessive force and prying directly against the rim edge.
Troubleshooting
Levers are difficult to insert under the tire bead.
Ensure the tire is deflated completely. Try to wedge the lever under a section of the bead that is already loose or has more slack.
Levers do not snap together securely.
Check that the connection points on the levers are clean and free from debris. Ensure they are aligned correctly before pressing them together.
Tire won't come off the rim.
Deflate the tire further if possible. Use all three levers in conjunction, working them around the rim incrementally. Ensure you are prying against the tire bead, not the rim itself.
Levers feel like they might break.
While made of durable plastic, excessive force can still cause damage. Ensure you are using the leverage correctly and not applying bending force. If the tire is exceptionally tight, consider using a second set of levers or a different technique.
