We do that at our bike co-op, basically we saw them in half, then grind a concavity into one end, and then a groove on the other side so one can attach it to the spoke. Basically follows the model of a plastic tire lever. I'll holler at the resident bike master, and I'll pass the plans onto you. -Vegan Represent-

i don't remember where i heard about this idea, but someone told me about them, and i'd love to make some.

basically, one removes "suicide" or flat brake levers from a (lower end) road bike/ten speed, and somehow grinds/cuts/bends them into the correct shape/etc to be used as tire levers.

anyone know where there are pics of these, or directions or plans for these?

thanks!
