Well I was battling hard to change my tyres last week, and could I get the **** things off? No I could not!!! So desperation sent me to our local bike shop to see if they had any tyre levers. They sold me this flimsy looking plastic thing called the Speed Lever.... worlds easiest tire changer, so it said. To be honest I was sceptical, but it was really easy to use and just needed a little bit of effort and hey presto, both tyres off in minutes, and reverse the method, and new tyres on. It cost me all of £2.99 so a bit of a bargain!! Its made by a company called the Crank Brothers, no thats not me, I just thought Id share something that really does seem to do the trick!!
Keep Buggering On!!! The Blog of my life.... How mad is that? Go on take a look, you know you want to!
