The Crank Brothers Speedier Lever handles both tire removal and installation with a single tool, which means you're not carrying two or three levers in your pack anymore. The curved design lets you hook the bead and pull it off the rim without needing to wedge a second lever in place. Once the first section of bead is off, you slide the lever around the rim to pop the rest of the tire free. For installation, the same curved profile helps guide the bead back onto the rim when you're dealing with tight-fitting tubeless tires that normally require multiple levers.

The tool measures 144mm long and weighs 26 grams, so it takes up minimal space in a saddle bag or jersey pocket. The design keeps your knuckles away from the spokes and rim when you're working, which is where the name comes from. If you've ever scraped your knuckles on spokes while wrestling a tire lever around a rim, you know why that matters. The composite construction has enough flex to work with the tire bead without snapping under pressure, and Crank Brothers backs it with a lifetime warranty.

The Speedier works with both tubed and tubeless setups, though it's particularly useful for tubeless installations where you need to get a tight bead seated on the rim. The single-lever approach means less fumbling around trying to keep multiple levers in place while you work your way around the wheel. If you're running tubeless and dealing with fresh sealant, having one tool instead of three also means less cleanup when you're done. The tool is black composite with no moving parts or components that can wear out over time.
