PRO Team Tubeless tyre lever PRTL0115

Tubeless ’s PRO Team PRTL0115 tyre lever is specially designed to make it easier to fit and remove tubeless tyres, particularly on road and gravel bikes. Thanks to its longer and stronger levers, it provides greater leverage for handling the rigid beads characteristic of modern tubeless tyres.

Made from robust nylon, this PRO tool combines durability, lightness and ease of use. Its design also incorporates a hook function that makes it easier to reposition a tubeless bead onto the rim, whilst minimising the risk of damaging the tyre bead, the rim or the rim base.

A tyre lever specially designed for Tubeless

Tubeless road and gravel tyres can be particularly difficult to fit or remove due to their stiffer sidewalls and beads. A standard tyre lever may therefore lack the length or rigidity to provide sufficient leverage.

The PRO Team Tubeless PRTL0115 has been developed specifically to address this issue. Its extended handle provides greater leverage, making it easier to guide the bead over the rim flange. PRO intends this tool primarily for tubeless road and gravel tyres, whilst noting that it remains compatible with conventional inner-tube tyres.

A hook function to make re-fitting easier

One of the PRTL0115’s distinctive features is its hook function.

When a tubeless tyre is particularly tight on a rim, the final section of the bead can be difficult to reposition by hand. The hook then allows you to grip and lift the bead so that it can be gradually repositioned on the rim.

This design is intended to make re-fitting easier whilst reducing the risk of damaging the tyre bead, the rim or the rim tape.

This is particularly useful with modern tubeless wheels fitted with carbon rims or tubeless rim liners, which need to be protected.

A robust yet lightweight tool

The PRTL0115 is made from nylon. This material ensures the tyre lever is strong enough to withstand the stresses associated with tubeless tyres whilst remaining lightweight. PRO explicitly highlights its robust construction and light weight.

This balance is particularly appealing to cyclists who wish to keep a tyre lever in their saddle bag, rucksack or repair kit.

Ideal for road and gravel

The PRO Team Tubeless PRTL0115 is primarily designed for tubeless road and gravel tyres. These tyres often feature relatively stiff beads and can require more effort when fitting or removing them.

It can also be used with conventional inner-tube tyres. However, its main benefit lies in its ability to make working on tubeless tyres easier.

For mountain biking, it may be useful depending on the tyre/rim combination, but PRO specifically highlights road and gravel applications. It should therefore not be regarded as a tool specifically designed for the largest mountain bike tyres or particularly tight fits.

Who is it for?

We particularly recommend it for:

• road cyclists riding tubeless tyres;
• gravel riders;
• riders who regularly remove their tyres;
• cyclists who want an effective tool for repairs and tyre changes;
• to bike workshops looking for a tyre lever specifically designed for tubeless set-ups.

Its main strength is therefore the ease with which the rigid tyre levers can be handled.

Our advice for use

Even with a specialised tyre lever, it is best to start by pushing the bead towards the centre of the rim, where the diameter is generally narrower. This creates some play and reduces the effort required to move the bead.

When removing the tyre, avoid forcing the tool against the rim too sharply. When refitting, also check that the tubeless rim tape remains correctly positioned.

How do you use the PRO Team Tubeless PRTL0115?

To remove a tubeless tyre

1. Deflate the tyre completely and remove the valve core if necessary.
2. Lift the two tyre levers off the rim hooks.
3. Push the bead towards the centre of the rim to create more clearance.
4. Insert the end of the tyre lever under the bead.
5. Gradually guide the bead over the rim edge.
6. Use a second tyre lever if necessary to completely free the tyre.

To refit a tubeless tyre

1. Fit the first bead completely onto the rim.
2. Gradually fit the second bead.
3. Keep the bead in the centre groove of the rim as much as possible.
4. For the final tricky section, use the hook function of the PRO PRTL0115.
5. Check that the bead is correctly positioned all the way round the rim before inflating.
