Tools in my pouch: • Mako Ti Bike tool, swapped screwdriver and torx bits for 3 and 4mm Allens. The tool uses standard bit drivers. I've used it on axle nuts when fixing flats. If I were constantly removing axle nuts, I'd carry a box wrench, too. • Park CT-5 chain tool • Mini Swiss Army knife, key-sized. On camping/touring trips, a basic Leatherman tool.
And: • Fiberfix spoke • adhesive patches • tube(s) • a few drops of chain lube • zip-ties • piece of Tyvek • nitrile gloves Jon Watertown, MA On Monday, April 28, 2014 9:28:55 PM UTC-4, Joan wrote: > > I'm in the market for a new multi-tool for on-bike repairs and > adjustments.
