My ultra minimalist multi tool

[buddybikes]

I've been debating getting the Park adjustable torque tool (4,5,6) but 67.00 bit much. I used a Ritchey preset for years, but that is long lost after move.

Other suggestions?

This is what I carry.

For a small torque wrench, the Silca one is very nice

I like the creativity and thinking behind a lot of these small tool designs. The fact that they are well made with seemingly tight tolerances is really great.

I carry the 14 function Wolftooth, at $50 retail. But it's 5g heavier than Houston's tool

And yes, mini tools with loose bits means paying more attention on the trail.

On the MTB I wanted a chain tool so I carry the Fix Wheelie Wrench Pro with over 20 functions, at a porky 93g but it's really small!

I bought this and have been happy

It doesn’t feel like a road side compromise when in use.

this is neat and looks like it would slide into the tube/co2/lever I have strapped to my saddle.

Cool tool - Tacx mini tool is 8$ for the cheapskates out there

FWIW I have a few different Crank Brothers. Bigger ones have more tools, even a chain tool.

Here's a simple one. Large enough for good leverage, small enough to fit anywhere.

I use the wolf tooth as well. Love it. Seems to be similar footprint as the OP tool but stores away nicely and has better functionality. I have their chain tool as well though never had to use it.

Love my Victorinox Swiss Army Bike Tool Kit. Nice long wrench to get thru axles off.

I can't be without a chain tool since I've actually broken a chain on the road.. but never riding MTB.

My light bike i have fix-it sticks plus a park chain tool.

I'm with you on this about the chain tool.

Do you guys with these wonder tools just not carry a chain tool?

I carry one in a backcountry research tulbag, along with a dynaplug, patch kit, derailleur cable, a $20, duct tape, tire boot and a quick link. Most of these things have been useful at one time or another on long gravel/mtb rides.

For most road rides though, I dont bother, anything worse than a flat is unlikely to be fixed and I'm calling for a ride.
