Strong tyre levers - any recommendations please?

[Nibor]

Is that any good for mtb tyres ??
I have the black " scissors" type but they are not wide enough fur mtb tyres

If you look at my picture it has both the scissor type and the var which is smaller

Your scissor type also look like they may accept a wider mtb tyre than the "" koolstop" one I have
The rim grip leg on the kool stop is relatively straight ...yours appears more curved so it will not foul the tyre as much as mine

Anyone used pliers?

Pliers like those are purely for fitting difficult tyres, when you might otherwise be tempted to use a normal tyre lever to get the last bit of bead over the rim. There's also the Simson/Kool Stop type, and the Var lever (mediocre for removal. but considerably more portable than the al;ternatives if you know your tyre is difficult to fit)

For workshop/home use, I use Lezyne Saber levers

On the bike, I use two steel levers similar to these (guaranteed not to bend or break whilst removing even the tightest tyre).
If I know my tyre is a tight fit, I'll often take a Var lever as well.

My experience is that the levers that are flat section all the way along are a fair bit better than those that have a round central section.
I've also acquired a tyre glider, now in the saddlebag awaiting proper field testing (seemed OK at home).

It's always easier to search for and resurrect a nine year old thread. Much easier than posting in a current thread.

Remember...we are now into school holiday season.

I disagree, searching previous posts and analysing the results is not easier than posting in a new thread.

Being able to search databases quickly is one of the big advantages of software. As a Software Engineer for over 30 years, I will always use this facility.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best tyre levers are these:

Some of 2013's levers are no longer around or have changed design. Hiding current info on the end of an old thread seems unhelpful, as well as all the merged posts being marked "new" for those of us who already read them. Could some note be added to the first post suggesting to check the end for current products, please?
