Puncture repair tools

[glennMember]

What brand of tyre levers would you suggest for on the trail puncture repairs,??????

[DavidMember]

nothing but the metzler enduro style:)

[dennis da menaceMember]

i reckon a couple of square nosed shovels would do it.

so you could bury your sh!tty poozuki:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

its the more cost effective option:P

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah.
Metzeller seem yo be the Ducks Nuts, however, I have a set of Ballards levers & have used them a few times now on the trail,,, not always on my own flat either I might add:P WhiteRocket benefited from them too on the Hill End ride;)
I have also made one of my own with a 27mm spanner on the other end to use in Rear wheel removal as well as a third lever (very helpful to have a 3rd lever;) )

i snapped the tip of one of my metzelers so now ive got ballards and have had no problems

i thought eagles ballards tyre levers where great but have used metzler levers and pinched the tube to pointy for me but i am not very good at changing tyres .i got levers about half the size of the metzler ones a bit lighter in the camelback but they flex a bit okay for trail side repairs as long as you don t run kenda tyres (eliminater is the brand)

HA HA, That was funny to see, coming up to a crest to see WhiteRocket sitting on the edge of the trail, Kato perched up on a log, ready for repair, BUT, he had no spanner to remove the wheel :blush:
Lucky for you mate Tiny & myself were on hand,,,,, Good old OBT Spirit HEY????

Never heard about anyone ever snapping a Metzler,:ohmy: take it back to the dealer and get another free of charge
