Crank Brothers Speed Lever

Been surfing the Crank Brothers site watching vids of their pedals when I saw a tire lever I had not heard of before.
It is called the Speed Lever, a pretty clever tool since with most levers you need to use more than one.

Anyone use one of these before, and if so do you like it better than the other levers?

This seems to be Crank Brothers first product they made too.

I vaguely remember them, but I've been outta the "scene" for a decade. I had some levers that would hook to the spokes to make it easier.

Looks like a very handy tool, seems like you always have to use a few screwdrivers when changing a tire normally...

My Pro's and Con's of Crank Brothers: Cons: I'm on my 3rd set of 50/50's from them that have broken. Pros: Their warranty policy is awesome (hence my 3rd set of pedals).

My tire levers I carry have the hook that goes on the spoke, but I sure like this one from them since it telescopes.
I have a big one from Park for home use that does the same thing, but it is way to big to carry on the trail.

You may have seen in the pedal thread in this section I just switched over to some platforms yesterday.
I do want to try some Crank Brothers Candy pedals later though since my other clipless ones were hybrids and not a good example of better clipless pedals out there.

Looking at these two from Crank.

Seems the SL and the X are the best looking of the bunch, and cheaper than the top of the line Candys.

X comes in black only which I like.



Sl comes in either black or blue.
