Just use ‘coke spoon’ shifters
Based on the above I’d suggest letting H use them is an even easier guarantee they will break.
Then again, I’m getting quite adept at ‘rolling’ tyres on and off using my fingers. Sure some are killers and you need to use levers, but it’s easier than you think.
Until you meet the perfect storm of an oversized rim, with a shallow bed and an undersized tyre. Then it’s blisters and snapped levers for dinner.
Schwalbe for me. Small and tough.
What are tire levers for? 
I think I have Charge ones… they are a little too think but I haven’t pinched anything yet so they might be perfect.
Broken Park and Pedros. Both times have been on 28c Vittoria Rando’s and narrow (track) rims.
I’ve bent spoons.
With the power of your mind?
Taught Uri everything he knows.
Anyway, this changing tyres lark is all too complicated. I’m going to leave it to the professionals.
I just use my thumbs. You guys all need to take up rock climbing and get your hand strength up!
Or get some tyre liners. I haven’t had a flat since 2011.
You should become a physio! Peeps with bad backs would kill for thumbs that could do that.
What liners do you use?
Rapha is winning,
These levers are on every blog, we have a 6 page thread about them and there not even in production.
Correct. It’s all a cunning plan to keep their brand in the subconscious of cyclists, so that when we go to buy some new bibs we accidentally buy a full Sky team replica kit for £5000.
I prefer handling over a dull chunk of rubber… 
since when do you need to be able to handle a bike to commute?
I’ve been commuting on $100 tyres for the past couple of months… it’s rad. Blow away the field
What’s that saying about a fool and his money?
