OneUp Components launch EDC on-bike tool storage

· By Press Office · 0 comments

Given the choice, we’d always prefer to ride without a backpack. But no one wants to be ‘that guy’ who needs to borrow tools or be left walking home while your friends enjoy the rest of the ride. We wanted a solution that would allow us to carry the tools that we need for every ride, without wearing a backpack.

EDC stores your essential trail tools inside your steerer tube, right at your fingertips. Whether you’re going out for a quick lunch ride or setting off on a longer adventure, EDC has the tools you need to fix almost any trailside mechanical.

The EDC tool can also be stored inside one of our new high volume CNC Aluminum Pumps with water bottle mount. Grabbing your EDC tool from the pump is as easy as reaching for your bottle.

Pump Volume
A mini pump might look appealing, but with typical volumes of 30-60cc it will take hundreds of strokes to inflate a new tube and has absolutely no chance of reinflating a tubeless setup. When you get a flat, you want to fix it as fast as possible. At 100cc and 160g our high volume pump has the highest volume to weight ratio on the market.

Fast-On Head
Firmly push the pump head onto the Presta valve until it bottoms out, then pump. With our fast-on head the valve stem is securely supported so there’s no chance of bending, breaking or unseating the valve and no chance of unscrewing your valve core when you remove the pump.

How do I fit all those tools in my steerer?

To install the EDC tool in your steerer: Remove your old star-nut and tap the top of your steerer tube. This might sound daunting, but we’ve made it easy to do on your bike, without even removing your fork.

1. Remove your bar and stem
2. Use the OneUp star-nut puller to remove your old star nut
3. Using the self-aligning steerer tap kit, tap a thread into your steerer until the tap bottoms out
4. Reassemble your Bar and Stem on your newly threaded steerer
5. Fine tune your headset spacer setup with the supplied spacers
6. Screw in the EDC Top Cap and then tighten using the EDC Multitool, or a standard cassette tool to preload your headset bearings
7. The plastic EDC steerer plug pushes into the bottom of your steerer tube
8. Then simply drop the EDC Tool into your hollow top cap

The EDC Cap Kit includes the world’s lightest headset top cap (4.2g), and an EDC steerer plug with drain hole, which keeps crud out of your steerer and prevents the EDC tool from rattling.

The EDC Tap kit includes a star nut puller and a self-aligning tap.
