After 30 years of mounting new tires on my road bike, this is easily the best tire lever I have used! I don't have or use a cushcore, but this lever works great on my Shimano road wheels. Never been so easy to mount new stiff tires. I was very happy that I bought this tool, after the first time I used it! Great!
I had gravel tires with inserts that I just couldn't break the bead on to remove. This little thing did just the trick. I use it now to break the bead on all my troublesome MTB tires too. Totally worth the money
I bought this and the bead-bro.
Makes mounting tires a breeze! If you struggle with mounting your tires you need these!
