We don't do product recommendation, so leaving as a comment rather than an answer. But try pedros tyre levers - super chunky plastic lever that wont break - and if it does they will replace it. pedros.com/products/tools/wheel-and-tire/tire-levers– Andy PCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 12:31

2Thanks for the quick reply! Yes I actually used this exact pair of Pedros levers in pink. I didn't break, but it's so chunky such that it's trying to shift the tyre bead further away from the bead seat. And the hook of the tyre lever is also quite thick, when pushing the bead over it gets stuck in the rim bed.– YuxuanCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 12:41

The important thing is to push the already mounted part of the tyre into the middle of the rim bed where it has less diameter. Start at the valve hole, push the tyre to the middle of the bed, keep it under tension as you move away from the hole. For the final few centimeters you can use multiple tyre levers. With super strong tyre levers I’d be more concerned about the rim breaking ...– MichaelCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 13:54

2Why do you want to add lead weights? o.O– MichaelCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 13:55

1My opinion is that the tyre you are using is too narrow for the rim width (but that's your choice). However, the narrowness of the tyre explains why you can get the beads over individually but not together. I suggest using Campagnolo tyre levers which are not only very strong, wide but also quite thin and therefore easier to slip into gaps between the tyre and rim. The shape also doesn't often pinch the tube.– NoiseCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 13:59

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. mountain-bike), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
