While I've used a Lezyne tubeless pump for years and it *mostly* worked ok, I would always come across stubborn tire/rim combos (notably with gravel or mountain bikes) that just wouldn't seat the bead.....then it would be off to the bike shop where they would mount it in a matter of seconds with this tool and compressed air. Finally decided to bite the bullet and get one (already had a small DeWalt air compressor), and it works like a champ. I've had no issues with presta or shrader valves, and removing the valve core to mount stubborn tubeless tires works very well. As an added bonus, just filled up my car tires as well....no more having to blow out my triceps pumping those up anymore. If you have an air compressor, change out tubeless tires somewhat often and have issues with mounting, you need one of these. After a few $20 trips to the bike shop to get tires mounted, it starts to pay for itself.
My 2018 Giant Defy has no rim brake mount between the seat stays. In order to attach the rear fender mounting tab I fabricated a bridge and fastened it to the frame using the built-in threaded inserts there. Another simple adaptation was to reshape the SS fender braces slightly to avoid interference with frame bits and fasteners at the dropouts. Otherwise installation was straightforward. Quality of materials is excellent and the final fit is very snug. The fenders work well. After several 30+ mile rides on sloppy wet, leaf and pine needle-strewn roads (it is Fall in the PNW) the bike has been surprisingly clean as were my shoes, socks, pants, etc. The only downside? Climbing up a grade over heavy drifts of wet pine needles, the needles collected between the front fender and the tire causing so much drag I thought I had a flat. Couldn't pedal against it, had to stop. Rotating the wheel backwards disgorged a fist-size wad of needles jamming me to a stop! Otherwise it's been smooth sailing. I'd buy them again.
Excellent pedal wrench. Built very well, the size provides plenty of leverage for hard to unfreeze pedals and the rubberized handle grip is very comfortable. Only complaint would be I think it is a good deal overpriced for simply being a pedal wrench. Don't see why this wrench would ever cost more than $25-$30 tops.
I have no idea why someone would give this product a poor review because it does not fit allen/hex key type pedals like Shimano, Time, Look, etc... It's obvious from looking at it that there is no hex key male type fitting anywhere on the wrench so why would you think it is meant for any pedal that is tightened with an allen/hex key??????? In addition, the product description says it is, "thin enough to access all wrench flats." A wrench flat is NOT an Allen/hex key opening. LOL :-)
