rouxtjie Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I carry 3 levers...you obviously never had a tyre leaver snap on you trying to fit a tight tubeless set-up???Green crowbar lever...if you can snap that your wheel is probably bent as well. schizo, usxorf and Wil6 3
Wil6 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I carry 3 levers...you obviously never had a tyre leaver snap on you trying to fit a tight tubeless set-up???No obviously not. I carry one for emergencies. And only used it twice, and not for my bike. If your sealant is enough and you have a couple of plugs to plug big holes and sidewall cuts, you will never need to use a lever. Never mind three, maybe get better quality tire levers?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Green crowbar lever...if you can snap that your wheel is probably bent as well. Snapped 2 trying to get my WTB Weirwolf UST tire onto my Spanks. Yes. On the same tire. Nevr getting that thing off...

Cassie Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Permanently in a small saddle bag:1x tjoop,CO2 cartridge and adapter,In a small box the patches came in - patches, glue, valve stem, master link, R100, plugs, plug tool.I learnt to use the QR skewer as tyre levers, so no need to carry tyre levers. In back pocket... phone, house/car keys (depending if riding from home or going to an out-of-town ride/race),Spare bottle with water if the ride is longer than 2 hours, and a mini-pump.Apple or banana - if I remember. 1 gel just above the tan lines, under my shorts. Interesting....perhaps care to share the excat method? or is it a simple try at home type thing?? Will certainly try this at home first...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Are you sure about it being crowbar tyre levers...they should test your pee at races... The green ones that say "crowbar"? Yeah. Them.

If your sealant is enough and you have a couple of plugs to plug big holes and sidewall cuts, you will never need to use a lever. Never mind three, maybe get better quality tire levers? yes, the ones i initially got were crap!! did not know you get tyre levers and then TYRE leavers...hindsight is always a great teacher...
Cassie Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Couldn't agree more...first rule of riding without a tjoob...make sure your sealant levels are ok before every ride.agree...i'm one of those thsat get so complacent about tubeless...I never check sealant levels untill they are basically all dried up...the other day i got a huge fright when i realised i've been riding on dry tyres for many months!!
