Quote from: anditsgone on February 18, 2016, 12:06:31 PMMy bike tools are my Swisstool X which is my edc and a 1 euro costing 6 inch adjustable wrench which i keep in my jacket pocket.I never really had any problems with my bike except for a couple of times when i put to much force on the pedals that cause the rear wheel to pull forward on one side and that causes the tire to rub against the frame. Loosened the main nut and put the wheel back in its correct position.Thanks for sharing. I love seeing what others carry

My latest bike tool is Topeak Ratchet Rocket. I've neededwanted one for quite some time and finally pulled the trigger... Here's couple of pics of said tiniest of the tiny ratchets:In the (apparently waterproof) plastic case are the ratchet, bit kit /w chain tool and two small tire levers:(Image removed from quote.)Given the minuscule size of the tire levers, I would probably only use them in emergency situation, but it's nice to have them as a backup as they take no space whatsoever.Closer look at the ratchet and the bit storage:(Image removed from quote.)Bit kit has pretty much all the bits you'll need with you bike, hex bits 2mm to 6mm, Philips #2 and Torx T25. In my case I'll be pairing this up with my Skeletool /w Bit Kit and Bit Extender, so I'm good for pretty much any screw around here All in all, excellent piece of kit

Who wouldn't want an 87 speed bike? I remember my first mountain bike- it was 18 speeds, and I recall everyone telling me then that there was no way I would use all of them. And they were right. More often than not I really only used the three gears on the crank. Occasionally I would switch one of the rear gears, but not that often. Probably 80% of my shifting was in those three gears.Def
Speaking for chain tools I have not seen anyone's chains break on a ride in the last 5 years or so. Looks like they are solidly built now. I probably jinxed myself saying that Still can't believe we've gone up to 11 speed systems. Not too long ago I remember thinking 9 speed was awesome. I guess once they get to 14-15 we will not need front gears.
I will take some better pics of it soon.

I thought this thread could do with some extra peddling…
I'm glad you spoke. I would post again, but I would just be recycling.
