There are still some Christmas lights up on Dallas.
For your amusement, my collection of levers used for mangling tires.
In the Schwinn tool bag I keep these blue Quik Stik levers.

The Jamis tool bag has these black'n'yellow off-brand levers.

The big red Craftsman tool box bicycle tool drawer has these Pedro's Milk Levers that are made from recycled plastic milk containers.

This image seems to not be working in the "medium" size at the moment of posting.
The silver two drawer Craftsman tool box contains these Melco 8 inch steel levers, made in England! These are from my motorcycle days, but are useful for threatening recalcitrant bicycle tires as well!

All these levers work well, I have no complaints. One doesn't usually need levers to put a bicycle tire back on, but they are handy for taking one off.

Do you find the quicksticks work ok? I was of the impression they were for mountain bike tires.
cheers.
They work fine for me, but then again, apparently, I don't know how to fix a tire!! :) Even the black'n'yellow knockoffs work fine. Here's a guy who uses them for fixing his boat trailer trolley thingie wheels: http://www.vikingasia.org/Tire/tire.html
