Tools on the bike options

[DR ◣◢]

OneUp is going to bankrupt me. 

 

I use the EDC system in my steerer tube via the OneUp EDC stem instead of the threaded steerer. Getting the headset preload right is a hit & miss but once it's on it works really well. 

 

The tool saved my ass properly. I was about 10km from my car when a crank bolt came loose. I was really pressed for time and walking back wouldn't have worked. 

I combined the 6mm wrench with the quick-link remover to create an 8mm wrench. I folded out the all the wrenches and stood on the tool to get enough torque to tighten it up. It held up to 105kg standing on it and it didn't bend or break. I managed to get back to the car with zero issues.

 

I use 110cc pump as well. So if I go out on a different bike I can move the tool across into the back of the pump. Simple solution. 

 

Not the cheapest but it saved my ass.

That looks really good but it looks like you need a Fizik saddle.

 

New EDC Lite from OneUp also looks like an elegant solution.

I really wish they didn't make that sleeve out of plastic/nylon. It just looks cheap on the bike. Maybe a smooth plastic would have been better.

Check out the Granite Stash stuff, I found it a couple months ago - the stuff is really good quality and everything sits nice and tight. The steerer multitool took like 10 min to fit, no tapping needed (well you need to smack the star nut out the bottom of the steerer tube).

I got mine through takealot.
