Product Information
Full details
The TECHNOMOUSSE Tire Bead Lever is an essential tool for cyclists who frequently perform their own tire maintenance, particularly those managing stiff or high-tension tires like downhill or freestyle setups. Designed for durability and ease of use, these levers provide the necessary mechanical advantage to unseat tight beads without damaging the rim. The primary caveat is that because they are made from ultra-resistant plastic rather than metal, users must apply steady, controlled pressure when dealing with extremely tight or aged rubber to avoid premature wear on the tool's tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool is compatible with a wide range of bicycle tire sizes and rim types. To ensure the longevity of your levers, clean them with mild soap and water after use, particularly if they have come into contact with tire sealant or road grime. While they are highly resistant to impact, avoid using sharp metal tools to scrape or modify the lever tips, as this can create notches that may catch on your rim tape or tube. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the plastic over time.
