The Topeak Shuttle Levers 1.1 offer a super-strong yet lightweight solution with a design that protects your inner tubes.

FAQs
What material are the Topeak Shuttle Levers 1.1 made from?
They are made from super-strong engineering grade plastic.
How do these levers protect my inner tube?
The smooth, thin tip is designed to slide easily between the tire and rim, minimizing the risk of pinching or puncturing the inner tube during removal.
How many levers are in one display box?
The counter display box contains 25 pieces.
Are these levers suitable for tubeless tires?
These levers are designed primarily for use with tubed tires. While they might work on some tubeless setups, they are not specifically optimized for them.
What are the dimensions and weight of a single lever?
The dimensions are 10.8 x 2.4 x 2.35 cm, and the weight is approximately 28g.
Can I buy just one or two levers?
These are sold as a 25-piece display box, which is intended for retailers or users who need a larger quantity.
How should I clean the levers?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Levers difficult to insert between tire and rim.
Ensure the tire bead is pushed towards the center of the rim on both sides to create slack. Try a different starting point on the tire.
Levers feel like they might break.
While made of strong plastic, avoid excessive force or prying against spoke nipples. Use proper leverage by applying steady pressure. If a tire is exceptionally tight, using two levers may distribute the force better.
Levers don't fit together securely for storage.
Ensure you are nesting them correctly according to their design. Sometimes a slight adjustment or flip of one lever can help them lock together.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Protects inner tubes during tire removal.
- Comfortable to hold and use.
- Compact and easy to carry.
- Cost-effective when purchased in bulk.
Cons
- Bulk packaging may be excessive for individual users.
- Plastic construction, while strong, may not appeal to those preferring metal levers.
- Thin tip, while good for tube protection, might require more force on very tight tires compared to thicker levers.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tire levers require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: The Topeak Shuttle Levers 1.1 are compatible with most standard bicycle tires and rims, including road, mountain, and hybrid bike setups. They are designed to work with tubed tires.
Care: To ensure longevity, clean the levers after each use, especially if they have been exposed to mud, dirt, or grit. A simple wipe down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh solvents. Store them in a dry place. Due to their plastic construction, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or UV light should be avoided to prevent material degradation.
