On the hunt for the" best out there" I had asked other cyclist what there favorite levers were and I had lots of replies stating the "Pedros" are the best!
Pedros are Priced from £2.99 to £3.99 so it pays to shop around.
Pedro's.
Pedros's
are made out of a molded box construction and a proprietary plastic
composite blend so they reckon they are unbreakable, but it says on
there website "As long as your riding buddies don't steal them from you,
we are
confident the Pedro's Tire Levers will be the last levers you buy. Do
yourself a favor and give them a try. You will love them! If you ever,
somehow, manage to use your gorilla strength to break them, our levers
are backed by Pedro's lifetime warranty, and we will happily replace
them
for you".....
Well I have never heard of a clam like that!
So lets test theses ones out!
They come in a multitude of colours, Pink, Blue, Green etc.
Nice design with the tip slim enough to get in to the tyre bead, easy on the road wheel and even better on the MTB tyre.
MTB
Tyres are no problem for the Pedro's, the only thing I found was the
lever popped off the rim when sliding it around, no real concern but
this is something that a few of the other levers have not done.
Strength is the Pedro's forte as they say!
The tip is nice and thin to get into the bead easily.
On
the 700x 40cc tyre the pressure was on for the Pedros's to perform, and
they did! but yet again they lost grip on sliding the lever around the
bead.
Strong Box design, with a life time guarantee!
Twin
spoke hooks, makes it a lot easier to use, but it does not have a valve
deflater for a Schrader inner tube valve, so it is just a case of
trying to get the corner of the lever to do the job of releasing the
air.
Verdict on the Pedro's
2 : Quality of manufacture. Manufacture was excellent, tough as nails as they say! Points awarded 5
3 : Gentle on the rims with no scratch, At no time did I feel the Pedro's were going to scratch the rims. Points awarded 5
4 : Value for money. At around £2.99 to £3.99 terrific value, also come with a Life time no Quibble guarantee! Points awarded 5
Total score 19 out of 20.
