It's the only crankbrothers thing I've ever owned, so I'm not sure.Something from CrankBrothers that isn't a huge piece of crap?
Same here. And I purchased mine after borrowing a friend's for about a year. They haven't failed us, yet..
Crank Bros M19. It's bad ass.
Full size tools are way nicer to use! I used to carry a park 3-way (4,5,6mm) and a chain tool. Actually worked quite well.I stripped down some generic tool to carry the 3 size wrenches that I need. So I carry that plus a park mini chain tool. Yeah it is light, but it is nice not having to fumble through some needlessly oversized tool with gloves on to get at the tool I need.
this. except my multi-tool is a leatherman juice.
I used to have one of those, and it was pretty good, until I lost it. My only gripe was that there were some instances when I needed more reach than what that could provide.
Damn, I need to look into that Gerber. They are right down the street from my office and after the blade replacement they did on my Gator, I'm a fan for life. I've had this blade since I was fresh out of boot camp in the Navy and it cut more line than any blade should.For short local rides, I carry a Topeak mini 9 and a Gerber Dime.
I have found that the mini plies are indispensable when removing yellow jacket stingers.
For longer rides into remote backcountry, I have a small pouch that holds some full size allen wrenches among other tools and repair items.
Only the weak needs to carry around a beer opener to open a beer. As my brother says if you can't open a beer with a hot dog you are not thirsty.
