Slowbee Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Hey Guys In the market for a new multitool, since mine was taken without my consent. Which ones do you guys recommend that will be able to fix the bike on the mtn side? The little kit I am looking at building up would be a mini leatherman with knife and pliers type system, then a chain breaker and then some form of multitool - but I have no clue of which one. Any suggestions on tools that would cover all the bolt sizes ?
DIPSLICK Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Faybes is the biggest MULTITOOL I know, but in fact he serves no purpose
NotSoBigBen Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 These have not yet let me down ...... The pliers goodie I bought at Due South. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/10/5c9bfdd447697ebeeaa60af07c0912b6.jpg
myveonix Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I use this Parktool. Little bit bulky but it works for me.
nonky Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 The spez SWAT stuff is cool: chainbreaker goes into headtube and multitool attaches to bottle cage at bottom. It is expensive kit tho. Don't forget different sized plugs and plug tool thingy, as well as patches & glue for sidewall tears (to keep the tube inside the tyre). I learnt the last lesson the hard way.

NotSoBigBen Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Been thinking about your post and including some small pliers in my kit...nothing like a stuck valve to ruin a ride / race. That is exactly why I started taking it after learning that lesson ...... at the time I even had a spare tjoop but it was useless!

I carry more CO2 bombs, a few chain master links, a spare valve and sometimes a spare tube. I learnt the hard way that you must have big plugs like these in the picture.

I learnt the hard way that you must have big plugs like these in the picture. I showed just the 'tools', on the spares side I carry a quicklink and a spare valve core. I also always carry a small pump, if it's an important 'event' I'll tape a spare tjoop under my seat. I have not used a tube in a few years (on MTB that is, on road ja now that's a whole other story sadly )..... anyone else?
Slowbee Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 That is exactly why I started taking it after learning that lesson ...... at the time I even had a spare tjoop but it was useless!after that post I went and bought a pair of pliers... with a knife and it also got nicked. So getting another one for christmas. are all the hex sizes you need for your bike on the multitool NSBB?

NotSoBigBen Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 are all the hex sizes you need for your bike on the multitool NSBB? So far yes for tightening stems, seatpost, adjusting headset, gear cable and derailleur stuff ... haven't needed anything heavier 'yet' ....
Slowbee Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 multitool with at least 8 - 10 hex sizes then ?
