Product Information
Full details
The Lezyne Alloy Tyre Levers are designed for cycling enthusiasts and mechanics who prioritize durability and leverage when handling stubborn road or mountain bike tyres. Constructed from forged, aerospace-grade aluminium, these levers provide superior stiffness that makes difficult tyre removals significantly easier; however, their rigid metal construction means they should be used with caution on delicate, high-specification lightweight rims to avoid potential scratching or damage.

FAQs
Can I use these on carbon fibre rims?
It is not recommended. The high stiffness of the aluminium can easily scratch or damage delicate carbon surfaces.
Are these levers sold individually?
They are typically provided as a pair, offering you two levers to handle various stages of the tyre removal process.
Will these levers break like plastic ones?
No, they are made from forged aluminium, making them significantly more resistant to snapping or bending under pressure.
How do I prevent rim scratches?
Ensure you are pulling the lever straight back rather than twisting it against the rim wall, and avoid use on fragile or lightweight rims.
Are they suitable for mountain bike tubeless tyres?
Yes, their strength makes them excellent for the often tight beads found on modern tubeless mountain bike tyres.
Troubleshooting
Lever slips off the rim edge during use
Ensure the tyre bead is fully pushed into the center channel of the rim to create slack before engaging the lever.
Difficulty inserting the lever under the tyre bead
Use the thin end of the lever and approach at a slight angle; if the tyre is exceptionally tight, try to manipulate the bead with your thumbs first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These levers require no special setup; simply carry them in your roadside repair kit. They are compatible with most standard bicycle tyre and rim combinations, but verify your rim type before use. If you are riding carbon or high-end lightweight racing rims, consider using a rim protector or switching to a composite lever to prevent cosmetic damage. To care for your levers, wipe them clean of any road grime, grit, or sealant residue after use. Inspect the hook tips periodically to ensure they remain smooth and free of burrs, which could otherwise damage your tyre or rim.
