  Amazing Bike Tire Tool October 7, 2008
This tool makes easier work of even the most difficult to install bike tires. I recently installed some Continental 4000 clinchers (700C), and read in a couple online forums that these were notoriously difficult tires to stretch onto the wheels. I don't know if I would have been able to get them on without this Crank Brothers Speed Lever. I may have gotten them on with another tool, but with much greater risk to damaging very expensive rims. This tool is simple to use, and makes most tire removal and install issues a snap.
Fast and works great September 18, 2008
So my new bike has had 4 rear flats in 6 weeks. Both types of tires I've tried were incredibly hard to put on by hand - maybe 20 minutes of fighting every time. This device was awesome. I had a little trouble hooking the bead when removing the tire but installing the tire was effortless. I didn't have to worry about the tube being pinched or anything. It is also extremely light and easily carried. The only down side is that it is made of plastic and will probably break after a while. Until I find a tire, rim tape, tube combination that doesn't flat (my el cheapo hybrid never flatted in a year of riding) I will always have this while riding.
Love my speed lever!! February 12, 2008
This little guy is amazing! I will never use anything else to remove and reseat my bike tires! It's fast, easy and gets you back on the road where you belong! I wish it were made of a little sterner stuff, tho, I did manage to break one removing a stubborn new tire. But then it would weigh more....One side removes and the other replaces.
