Product Information

Fitting a tyre is surprisingly simple – the curved edges and heightened contact with the rim seem to make light of stubborn tyres with or without a tube. The Muc-Off Rim Stix, while a little bulky, are very strong tyre levers that can help get even the most stubborn tyres off the rim. Nice to be backed up by lifetime warranty, even if they are one of the cheaper items in your toolbox.

Assuming you're happy with your tyre/rim combo, the next thing to consider is the material of your rims. Hmm having seen the video if you tried this with Marathon Plus tyres the bead would pop off behind you as you slid it round - looks like it still needs a tyre lever to stop this. The unique chisel tip shape easily inserts beneath the tyre bead and the slightly thicker shape keeps the lever securely in place.After that pushing it into the centre well, then one hand either side moving both hands away from the starting point, along the circumference. They're pretty much what you might think of as ‘normal’ tyre levers , although there are others with a similar looking profile that do have slightly different ergonomics and shapings which aren't as effective. So, the styles to choose from are pretty limited; sort of like pencils, the design is tried and tested and hasn't really changed much over the years. features a new material and redesigned tip for easier entry - Park Tool also says these will work on stubborn tubeless rim/tyre combos, and the design should lift the tyre away from the rim hassle-free.

To avoid this, we'd recommend avoiding the use of metal tyre levers if you can, on carbon rims especially. Metal tyre levers are largely a thing of the past, although thermonuclear like the Park Tool TL-5s are still sometimes the only way to remove really, really tight tyres. Presumably for the same reason that Park Tool have bothered to trademark the colour blue in the first place - i. Every now and then it's possible to find a tyre/rim combo where the fit is either so sloppy that the tyre simply falls into place, or one that is so tight that it takes an army of burly tool-wielding mechanics to get the last few inches of bead over the rim edge.
