I was somewhat restrained this year because I just get stuff all year long when I decide I "need" it.

That's what my outlook was this year...

I haven't seen the ebike bars I'll have to take a look, I'd like a set a little more robust for unforseen hucks that happen (not the huck my bad judgement on landing lol)

Did you look at the alloy ones, I haven't seen a set in person yet but wonder how the alloy with a oval shape will handle stress being it's stronger not harder so more likely to deform...

How do you like the one up EDC?
I usually use my buddy's bags to carry shit so I can ride and let them mile stuff...but I'm sure eventually they will tell me to pound sand .

Curious to hear your thoughts on the Noken!!!

I have one on most of my bikes. Mostly the Lite, just to have a multi tool on hand. Even have one on my DH bike and road bike. It's nice because they sell the plastic carrier by itself. So cheap it doesn't make sense not to have one.

I may look to get one on the enduros..
I have a tow strap so buddies with E-Bikes can tow me, then I dont pedal and I watch em struggle ..lmao...pedal a little to make it look like I'm trying...then stop when they quit looking back...

 

[Andeh]

I'm fine with the carbon bars because I'm lighter and not doing big hucks. If that wasn't true or I had a DH bike, I'd run the alu ones.

The EDC is great. I have the threaded steerer mount on both my Nomad and Heckler and just move the tool carrier between them. I put an EDC Lite on my pump track bike because when riding with kids you know you're always going to be adjusting something. I'll probably put one on my kid's bike when he rides it more also for the same reason.

I have an EDC lite on my DH and trail bike. I’ve found on my DH bike, the headset comes loose every few rides. Kind of a pain in the ass because you can’t tighten the headset with the EDC tool. I do love having the tool when I need it though. I have the Specialized headset tool on my Eeb. It’s a better system IMO because it keeps the headset tight like the old Azonic headlock. Might grab one for the DH bike.

I forget if I messed with it beforehand, but my headset came loose halfway down Windrock a few weeks ago. Pretty annoying.

The instructions say that you can tighten it with the tool, but the bolt has to be aligned perfectly to be able to.

Was able to twist the entire thing just tight enough...

Great tool...just hope it never comes loose.

Exactly. That’s a one in a million chance.

KOM Xeno, the disc is a stressed member, it acts as a girdle for the freehub which is on the left.

Xeno Hubs | King of the Mountain

With KOM's Xeno, the foundations are solid with greater performance than any other hub.

Damn thing cost more than half the price of the bike it's going on, but I have got spare pawls and a drive ring.

With all your faffing about with broken expensive hubs, why haven't you considered a King?

 

[HardtailHack]

Well you're not going to get a KOM if your rotor bolt is jamming up against the brake adapter.

Because you need the special tools and they cost the price of a normal hub.
I like the front hub design of a King but not the rear, it looks like something VW would design.

If the KOM(I fell dumber every time I write that) fails I'll go back to a Hadley, wished I'd pulled my current one apart earlier, it's fine now but the damaged pawl does seem to have made the hub flex and the freehub inner has worn in to the drive ring a little. That didn't happen with the Hadley before it.

I dig my OneUp pump with EDC. I've just transferred it on my fatbike.

Don't solely rely on that oneup tyre lever. I've generally had a pedros in my fatty frame bag or backpack. But the hour I was stranded near the top of Burro Pass recently with a muddy Maxxis DD tyre that I couldn't easily unseat with the oneup has made sure I'll pretty much always have a pedros for more remote/cold rides.

tools go into the backpack
headset doesn’t come loose

nope, i always ride with back protection so i always ride with the backpack

I don't.
On long/remote rides I carry my endurobro fanny pack with all the gears needed and extra water. The pump and strap-on tube is for localish rides.

Same here. My local rides, anything under 2 hours only needs a bottle and minimal tool/oh shit setup. Bag/pack for longer stuff.

That’s only to do full disassembly, but every day tools let you take an CK apart to clean and lube the drive mech. It’s honestly very simple.

You are fine with a 4 bolt brake rotor but not a set of tools you probably will never need?

Should start here at least

I assume you mean the metal one that doubles as a BBQ burger-flipper

Nah, skinny plastic one, random photo from oneup site:

27 miles, 5 hours from the car and with a muddy DD rear tyre to remove, it was super tough to slide along under the bead to get one side off to put in a tube.

Is all that in 1 tool?

Yes. And it fits in a pump.

ppl who still use their acoustic pumps are strange. get with the times, gramps!

I like that the Oneup multi tool has 2.5mm hex and allows to tighten spokes compare to the Spesch EMT but it is very flimsy... I twisted mine when unlocking a stubborn axle of a rear wheel!

Big stick and a bigger rock will unseat the bead.

Because in my kit to rescue me I want something which could have gone flat and can only be used twice....Not.

Big stick can also improve a very out of true wheel.

Have you looked into eLevers ?

 

[bullcrew]

So for a tool on bike what do you guys consider the most complete and handy for small tools to carry on bike ..

I have a multi tool that's pushing 15 years old and used a couple time and is always in camel back which only goes on long rides...

I don't even carry a pump unless it's in package on long rides.

I'd like one that stays on bike so it's there...

Oneup inside their big pump.

I tried a lenzyne pump beside my bottle on nomad or slash can't remember and it hits frame..too much flat on frame under bottle..I have the storage on frames but the pump only fits nomad not slash in the storage box on frame..

The OneUp pump bracket has sizeable slotted holes for side to side adjustment. You'd have to try it out. I use a side entry water bottle cage.
