Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The marathons have a tight wire bead that had it not been for the beautifully shaped tip and extra length for leverage i would be babbling curses to this day. When i was finally able to get the tire mounted without any tube, i didn't have to seat the ... Read More

These worked flawlessly. They are smooth and glide through the tire saving me time and aggravation.

The park tool tl-5 tire lever set are heavy duty levers and will do the job well. Finished my artful sculpture with progressively finer wet n dry paper to 1,200 grit.

Long enough to give good leverage and are comfortable in the hand. They are about 8 x 1 and 3/16th of an inch thick and together weigh 330g. These are very sturdy, long levers.

Cons

They are the size of a butter knife. After about 15 years, plastic levers get old and brittle and break.

Competitiveness

They weren't lying when they said these are for the hardest tire/rim combos.

Worked like a champ on my difficult tire rims.

If you were to do the same and worry about scratching the rim try a piece of uhmw tape on the flat; it'd slide better and wouldn't scratch.

These, on the other hand, work like a champ.
