Hawk tire spoon hack.
I've been looking for a spot to stash my tire irons and it hit me. I used the 2 weld nuts for the rear rider pegs as I don't need them. Even used the stock hardware to mount them. Just 2 holes drilled and done. Ya I know I can get short levers but those never seemed to have enough leverage and just make me frustrated. I may paint them black to blend in to the frame better.

Short = inadequate, no but seriously it's just what I had on hand. All my tube issues fell into it "can" be patched and the stem ripped out in epic fashion no patch for you. The stiffer sidewall dot stuff always refused 8" levers. Off trail and summer sun just compounds that fun time.

I have only ever used 2 8" levers.... have done for 30 odd years.. even the old 6ply Trelleborg tyres "I think there bike tyres are Mitas now" similar to Yokohama motorbike tyres are now Shinko... ..
