Am I ready for these tires??

[madisongrrl]

There's a neat article right here on the TE site that you may want to check out. It's called "Levers? Levers? We Don't Need No Stinking Levers!" (Although I'd invest the $2 in a pair of levers, if I were you. :P)

I agree, I would invest in levers also. But in a pinch, your QR skewer can be used as an tire lever.
