Often I see guys with the biggest, longest, baddest tyre levers strapped to their bikes.
The levers I use are quite small in comparison, small enough to fit into my tail pack or tool roll, but it appears even that is overkill.
Meeting up with Jens last night, him and his son touring on bikes, it so happened that we talked about bikes a bit, and the subject of puncture repair came up - maybe since this was what led to DirtRebell, and eventually me, meeting up with them in the first place.

Anyway, Jens then showed me his tool roll which he carries in an enduro style bum bag, and out come his tyre levers.
Interesting indeed, and since Jens is an accomplished enduro rider who knows a bit about bikes and fixing them, he does know how to use these.
