Product Information
Full details
The SKS Tyre Levers 3-Pack is designed for cyclists of all skill levels, from commuters to performance road riders, who require a reliable and safe solution for changing flat tyres. These high-performance resin levers offer the perfect balance of strength and flexibility, ensuring you can remove tyres without scratching your expensive wheel rims. While these levers excel at general maintenance and valve core removal, they may require additional force for extremely tight tubeless-ready tyre setups compared to thicker metal alternatives.

FAQs
Can I use these on carbon fibre rims?
Yes, the resin material is specifically designed to be non-abrasive and safe for use on both carbon fibre and alloy wheel rims.
Does the valve tool fit all Presta cores?
The integrated tool is designed for standard removable Presta valve cores found on most modern road and mountain bike tubes/tubeless valves.
Why are there three levers in the pack?
While one or two levers are often enough for simple tyre changes, the third lever acts as a 'helper' for particularly tight tyre-and-rim combinations.
Can I use these to seat a tubeless tyre?
These levers are primarily designed for removal, but their smooth profile makes them safe for assisting the final push of a bead onto the rim if required.
Are these dishwasher safe?
While the resin is durable, it is best to clean them manually with soap and water to avoid heat damage from a dishwasher cycle.
Troubleshooting
Lever feels like it might snap during use
Ensure the tyre bead is pushed into the center channel of the rim, which provides the most slack, before attempting to pry the edge over the rim wall.
Cannot remove a very tight tubeless tyre
Use all three levers: secure the first two in place to maintain the bead position, and use the third to work the remaining section of the tyre.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resin construction prevents rim damage
- Lightweight and portable for travel
- Versatile multi-tool functionality for valves
- Ergonomic design provides excellent leverage
Cons
- Resin may flex more than steel levers on very tight tyres
- Limited to standard road and mountain bike tyres
- Three-pack configuration might be excessive for minimalist riders
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these tyre levers; they are ready for immediate use out of the packaging. They are fully compatible with all standard Presta and Schrader valve systems. To maintain the structural integrity of the resin, avoid using extreme force or metal hammers to drive the levers into tight tyre beads. While the material is highly durable, it is recommended to keep them away from long-term direct sunlight or extreme chemical solvents to prevent material degradation. After use, simply wipe down with a dry cloth to remove dirt or sealant residue before storing them in your toolkit or saddlebag.
