Thanks to the guys who recommend it

[DieselnDust]

Any local shops that sell these ?

 

That Wayside DOES look super nice !!

Try cycletecnix

Or anyone who stocks omnico product as they're the distributor for Blackburn

I have one of these and it is brilliant.

 

An unintended benefit is that you can stock it with the bits that fit your bike.

Most of these wonderful solutions seem to be aimed at MTBikes though.

I want to be able to store my multi tool out of sight on my road bike.

Specialized makes a nice water bottle cage mounted option with a chainbreaker in the steerer tube.

 

Syncros and Topeak also have options which are quite nicely integrated with the water bottle cage, but both in my opinion not quite as slick as the Specialized option.

I have one of these and it works well.  Decent wheel clamping too.  Need a bit more than this.

For my road bike it serves the necessary well. I carry Pedro's tyre levers in my back pocket with a spare tube. bombs hang on a bracket on the frame.

Also you don;t have to use the Tulio as a skewer. I sometimes remove it from the skewer and toss it in the back pock as its light and  small,

Now to find a neat solution for CO2 bombs

cage options are ok for short rides, but I'm a thirsty engine, anything longer than 2 hours and I need both bottles.

It attaches to the bottom of the bottle cage, so you don't lose usage of the cage....

and

which all fits inside

which is the best minipump I've seen in 27 years of riding, so negates the need for a bomb in my opinion (unless you're a pro XC racer, which you're not)

 

 

plus if you want to carry a tube

You'd need some pretty bad luck to still get stuck in the mountains with this setup!

take your bike apart, every tool you use put aside and write it down on a list, take that list to the shop when you buy the tool so it has every single size needed and a chain breaker.
