Every rider who carries a spare tube, from commuters to roadies and mountain bikers.
Every flat starts with getting the tyre off, and the Zefal Z-Levers make that part easier. They're made from a resin technopolymer that Zefal describes as highly resistant, and being plastic they're far gentler on rims than metal levers.
The thin profile slips between the tyre bead and the rim easily, and the reversible hook end works for both removing and refitting the tyre. At around 98 mm long they're small enough to live in a saddle bag or jersey pocket.
You get three levers on a card, which is the handy number for stubborn tyres: hook two on spokes and use the third to work the bead off.

Getting a tight tyre off
Let all the air out and push the tyre bead into the centre channel of the rim all the way round first. That gives you slack. Hook one lever under the bead opposite the valve, clip it to a spoke, then use a second lever a hand width away and slide it round.
