Full details
The Hutchinson Tyre Lever is designed for cyclists of all levels who need a reliable, professional-grade solution for roadside tyre changes. This dual-construction tool offers the essential benefit of superior leverage for stubborn tyres without risking damage to expensive rims, thanks to its clever combination of metal strength and protective coating. While it is highly versatile for various disciplines including road, mountain, and gravel, users should be careful to handle the metal core correctly to avoid slipping during high-tension removal efforts.

FAQs
Can I use this on carbon rims?
Yes, provided the protective plastic coating is intact, the tool is safe to use on carbon rims.
Does this work for tubeless tyres?
Yes, its high-leverage design is specifically well-suited for the tighter tolerances found in tubeless systems.
How many levers do I need?
While one may suffice for some tyres, it is recommended to carry two levers to handle particularly stubborn tyre beads.
Is this tool heavy?
No, it is designed to be lightweight and compact for easy transport in a standard cycling repair kit.
What is the primary benefit of the metal core?
The metal core provides rigidity and strength, preventing the lever from snapping when applying force to tight tyres.
Troubleshooting
Lever is slipping out from under the tyre bead
Ensure the tyre bead is pushed into the center 'drop center' channel of the rim to create as much slack as possible before using the lever.
Plastic coating looks scratched or worn
Smooth out rough edges with fine-grit sandpaper if the plastic is frayed, or check if the underlying metal is exposed; if the metal is exposed, retire the tool to prevent rim damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no specific setup; however, it is compatible with almost all bicycle rims, including carbon fiber and aluminum. When using the lever, always ensure the plastic-coated side is the only part making contact with the rim surface to preserve the finish. To care for your Hutchinson Tyre Lever, keep it clean and free of debris, especially after trail use. If the plastic coating begins to show excessive wear after heavy use, inspect the lever to ensure the underlying metal is not exposed before using it on delicate carbon rims. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the metal core components.
