Bertrand, which brand are those lightweight tyre levers?, they look very well designed, how is the profile for changing tube tyres, any pinching?
Ive got a pair of the Motion Pro levers with 19mm and 24mm ring spanner ends for front and rear spindle nuts, but the profile is no good, too much of a 'spoon' and too easy to push the lever in too far and pinch a tube.
Im always trying to shave weight off my gear where possible, good thread.

Hello Grif
tyre levers are good- that tiny lip does a great job of lifting but I also have one special Michelin Moto lever not in pics above who's the Daddy!
That one has a cylinder of steel welded below the lever thereby helping the rolling motion when levering the tyre off the rim.
I have only done one tyre change in the comfort of my garage so far to test them out so it would be wrong to say they can't pinch! IMHO, you can always catch a tube whatever you use.
The Motion Pro levers assist as well- My 140 Heidenau K60 are a real *&! to come off the rim but then the tyre was cold-
TIP!
Levers also come from Terra-X but hurry as he told me when stock ends he is not making any more so... chop chop!!
I'll update with new pics shortly as my tool bag is forever changing!
