VECTOR Tyre Changer Manual

VECTOR offers this tyre lever. The tyre lever slides between tyre and rim to move the tyre bead, its reinforced edge, over the rim flange a little at a time.

Why choose good tyre levers?

The benefits:

• A rounded, smooth tip that levers without cutting the bead or pinching the tube.
• Steel: stiff, it does not bend on a hard tyre, but it weighs more. Aluminium: light to carry, but it can bend on a very stiff tyre or with a mousse.
• With a built-in axle wrench, one less tool to carry to change a wheel at the track.

Why choose VECTOR?

VECTOR is a range of motorcycle locks and workshop tools distributed by Bihr. Several of its locks are SRA approved (the certification recognised by insurers in France), ART approved (its Dutch equivalent) or NF-FFMC approved, certifications awarded after break-in resistance tests.

When should you replace this tool?

Replace it if it is bent or its tip is chipped or sharp: it would mark the rim and could cut the inner tube.
