    This recently happened to me. I broke 3 tire levers, 3! Ordered some metal Park ones. That got em.

    dubk (or someone else who has successfully tried this technique), any chance you could post a picture of how you prop the tire up and exactly where you have your hands when you push down? I have a pair of Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pros on SRAM Roam 26" (tubular) and am having the same problem trying to get them off. Bead will not separate, can't even get a flat head screwdriver in to pry it off.... head going to explode imminently...
