VAR Tyre Levers

I recommend this product

I watched a fellow cyclist change a flat tire using the VAR, so I ordered one and tried it at home , it worked very well..

I recommend this product

I've cycled for 45 years and I had never heard of the Var. Then again they didn't have tubeless rims until late. I always managed to get a tyre on with standard levers. I still like to use a inner tube. My latest wheels are supposed to do both.
The tyres were no where near to going on. After puncturing a tube I started to look around for a better way of getting the tyre on.
I looked at the BBB lever which got a good review but was too big to take with you. Also the Crank Brothers lever which was hit and miss.
I went for the Var and I wasn't disappointed.
It took me awhile but success, I did use a bit of washing up liquid to help the tyre bead to slide more.
I will always have Var iny back pocket from now on.
Thanks SJS cycles for a quick delivery.

I was struggling to get my tyres back on to a very tight pair of rims. I’d snapped 2 tyre levers and a Cyclepal tool and holed 3 inner tubes. I was about to give up and take the wheels in to my LBS, when I came across this in a review. I had both tyres back on within a few minutes. Brilliant design, works well as a standard tyre lever to remove tyres as well, and no heavier or bulkier.

I've used these miracle-workers for over 20 yrs (when they were gray-colored) and still have a few of the old ones. They work brilliantly. Friends are shocked how well they work. Have a set in every bike bag.

These are awesome. I have used these a lot, especially on older vintage rims like, Omega Stradas and MA40s, and tubeless ready tyres. I would suggest buying two. I did break one but that was after trying real hard.

I read a review of tyre leavers and could only find this at SJS cycles. I got it delivered in good time, and it seems to work a treat. The wider leavers make it easy to prize the tyre bead off and the tongs help put the tyre back on. Good service from SJS cycles as usual.

OK, so this tool is amazing. Do you ever find yourself struggling to fit a tire back on the rim after changing a flat tube? This lever makes it simple. You just rest one end in the rim itself and then use the other end to "grab" the tire and pull it over the rim to seat it properly. I am from the States and I found this in the UK and immediately ordered it for my new bike.

Seen this recommended by a few users over the years so I decided to buy one.
Needing to replace a couple of tyres I got this out ready to do the job and would you believe I managed to get them fitted by hand. That said though having now brought it for a reasonable cost I understand how to use it and who knows I may have to use it on any future tyres I buy or to assist some other poor soul struggling to refit a tyre out on the road. Definitely a tool worth buying imo.

I can't give a detailed review as I have not yet had the need to use them. They appear to be tough and well made but slightly longer than I had imagined

Occasionally you just can't mount the tyre despite all the tricks, esp getting the tyre bead in the centre, and it's winter, cold, wet and your hands..... Then this tool takes no space and twice this winter has been my saviour. Hard to remove once you've slipped that last part of the tyre on, but beside that, a brilliant piece of kit.

After a wrestling match with a schwalbe durano / Stan's tubeless rim (and having to resort to fairly liquid for the first time in 30 years), I hunted around for a tyre jack that would fit in my jersey pocket. The VAR looked ideal, and it is! Brilliant emergency tool, compact enough to carry around in the saddle pack / jersey and strong enough for the job. SJS service was excellent. Very pleased.

I recommend this product

Bought this as I'd heard a few nightmare stories about fitting Marathon Plus tyres - with the help of this, I fitted both tyres easily first try (especially pleased as this was my first time fitting wire bead tyres). Well worth the money!

I recommend this product

I have a combination of wheel and tyre which was almost impossible to mount but the VAR has solved the problem for me. Bit heavier than generic levers but well worth the extra weight for ease of putting a tyre on.

I recommend this product

Bought this to help get difficult tyres over that last bit of rim. Works well without pinching the tube. Now have one for each family bike. It comes with an ordinary tyre lever for tyre removal. This doesn't work well, a bit flexible and to thick at the end so I carry a couple of ordinary levers to remove the tyre.

I recommend this product

Having struggled for years to get tyres back on the rims due to arthritis in my thumbs this tool is brilliant , l have only used it once on a 38 tyre and it went on like a dream. l Highly recommend this product.

I recommend this product

I still have one from the 1980s and it makes all manner of mounting clinchers an easy task. In the event of it becoming lost, I decided to buy a coupe of extras as insurance. I am happy the VAR tire levers are once again available I would be lost without this tool as my 63 year old thumbs aren't as strong as they used to be.

I recommend this product

Had one of these before but managed to snap it. It does what it says on the tin.

Ordered and delivered within 3 days, you can't ask for more than that

I recommend this product

These little beauties really work. I got through 4 tubes and about 20 patches trying to fit some tyres on a tubeless ready rim (kept pinching the tubes) with standard levers...until I bought these. On the tyre popped, first go, no pinches.
They do have a little knack to them so practice first in a nice warm room before heading out.

Much cheaper than a set of Mavic USTs

excellent tool for easily mounting difficult tyres. I have bought a second one to keep with my other bike

haven't used it in anger yet but if it saves painful thumbs once on a freezing cold day it will be worth every penny.

Can't judge ease of use or functionality so given 3 stars, just too get review complete, not expecting any problems.

WHEN YOU HAVE COLD HANDS RAINING HARD FED UP WITH A TYRE THAT WILL NOT GO ON. THIS TOOL IS BRILLIANT IT DOES WHAT IT SAYES ON THE TIN

I recommend this product

Winter brings winter tyres. They're a sod to fit when you're at home and you can warm them up to get them to fit. When you're out on the road in the freezing cold with driving rain and a puncture this is exactly the tool you need. As others have said, get the tyre down to the final few inches then use the VAR to pop it over the rim wall. Simples. No saddle bag should be without one!

appears to be good quality bought two one for a friend

Stopped with a mate to repair a puncture, we struggled to get the tire on the rim until he produced his varr tire levers. I ordered mine as soon as I got back.

My old man has had one of the these for around 30 years. I broke 3 cheap levers trying to get on some new tires to campagnolo rim. With is Var is it super easy Andy no pinch

I recommend this product

Just one word - Brilliant!
Get the tyre on to the last 6-8 inches, get the VAR tyre lever on near the middle, give it a yank and "pop!" your tyre is on.
Just like that!

I recommend this product

What a great idea and product , gets even the toughest stiffest tyre beads onto your wheel . Yes even onto tubeless wheels . Saves your thumbs from pain .

Having read some of the reviews I can't understand how some users are having problems .

Got this to help putting on tight Continental tyres. It is easy to use and small enough to fit in small tool bag.

I recommend this product

Does the job. Great for new folding tyres that are tight out of the box and saves ripping the skin off your thumbs. Haven't pinched a tube using this yet.
Gets some serious flex when being used but it hasn't given way on me yet (even though I bought a 2nd one just in case but No. 2 hasn't seen a single use yet). I've lost count how many tyres I've used it on.
Reliable and robust.
Highly recommended.

Often had trouble fitting Schwalbe Marathon Plus on a Brompton 16 inch wheel but this makes it simple.
And it's good to carry around too.
Wish I'd known about it before.

I recommend this product

I have not had to use this by the road side YET, but I am sure this would make that refitting job that much easier. I have used this tool in the workshop and it really does work saving pinched tube and sore fingers. I have arhritic fingers and this makes the job of refitting tha much easier. Looks to be made of a tough material, is light and compact. The additional tyre level is also a good idea but you still need another two levers for removing a tyre

I recommend this product

Proper tool for the job. Would not have got my tyress on without it. Highly recommended as it was to me.

I recommend this product

I bought this as I was having trouble getting trainer tyres on my wheel. Having pinched a couple of inner tubes and got sore fingers and thumbs, decided I had to find something to make it easier. This is just the job. Maybe a little flimsy, but works well. I now carry one of these with me when I an out as it is always more difficult to get the tyre on when you are at the side of the road and cold and wet. Recommended.

My only issue was why I havent has one of these before! I broke 2 normal levers and got one pinch flat trying to fit tyres to some new wheels. A quick response from SJS and a few no stressful minutes with the Var and all done!

I recommend this product

A wonderful tool for fitting tyres. I find it absolutely essential.

I recommend this product

A brilliantly elegant solution for tight tyres.
Two tyre levers, one neatly stows in the other. The outer provides a tyre bead jack that allows that last segment of a tyre bead to be eased on the rim without broken thumbs and fingers.
Small enough to go in your jersey pocket. However, it might be a stretch on wider tyres (greater than 28 mm).

I recommend this product

Great at its job and saves you a lot of hassle.

Wanted it for my Scicon Aeronaut saddlebag. But sadly its too big for this diminutive bag as the levers are longer than i had expected.

14cm long
2.5cm wide
2.5 cm high

They are so good though that its still worth carying them

I recently bought some new fulcrum wheels and conti Gatorskin hardshell tyres which were a nightmare to get on. Using this tool took the effort out of it and its light enough to keep in a pannier or saddle bag incase of puncture.

I recommend this product

Why didn't I get one of these things a long time ago? If you compare the amount of time, swearing, blood and bruising Var tyre levers save you with the relatively minor outlay required, there's just no decision to make. Buy them. Every bike tool box should have a set.

Never needed tyre levers to put a tyre on until I tried to put new ProRace 3 onto my new Campagnolo Neutrons!
The VAR tyre lever saved the day.

Works very well. I have bought several over the years for new lady club members and now that I have arthritis in my thumbs it works for me too.

I put 2 new tyres on with this baby this afternoon. The tyres were same model (a really tight bead) as a previous puncture change which took me ages, involved a lot of swearing and blisters. The lever worked brilliantly & took all the frustration out of getting the last bit of bead over the rim.

as the title suggests, this tool makes putting a tyre on much easier.
love it will by more.

I have been after a tyre lever for my road wheels that don't pinch the tube when being put on, this does that job,
how robust the tyre lever is only time will tell. but for the moment all is good

Got a set of these as a Christmas present. Just bought two more so that I can have them in the tool kits of all my bikes. Used them to get some tyres back on that snapped a Park lever getting off. With large tyres can be a bit fiddly to get over the tyre and then to get off again.

I recommend this product

How did I ever manage without one of these? Used for the first time yesterday and so easy to fit that last section of tyre that usually had me reaching for a screw driver after my thumbs got sore. Definite must have if you have difficulty getting that final bit of tyre back on.

I recommend this product

Fantastic. Lightweight. Great for that last few inches of 'thumbing' the tyre round the rim on a cold morning just to get it back on!

I recommend this product

Probably the best tyre levers for making sure that you can get any tyres on and off. Other tyre levers might be a bit more compact in your seatpack but it's worth it just to impress your mates.

I recommend this product

The best and now back in cool blue. I have one per bike plus a couple in the garage (my partner cycles and we have 9 bikes). Tyre removal/seating is so much easier with this

Brilliant piece of kit! Makes tyre fitting much quicker and easier on the thumbs with pinching inner tubes less likely.
