    Numpty colleague broke my chain tool after borrowing so now need a new one. Lost my multi tool ages ago so would be better buying one of them

    So what are you using? I’m thinking

    Topeak Hexus 16
    Crank Brothers 19 or 17
    Park Tools I-Beam Mini Fold-up 13 Function
    Lezyne Stainless 19 – the lightest and prettiest.

    Any for or against any of the above.

    Halfords had 3 for 2 on multitools the other day, and they had Topeaks and Park, and one other type I think.

    So I bought three of course. Still not sure what I’ll do with the other two…

    I have an older version of the Alien XS and it’s good. I like the way it splits into two so you can have the allen keys and the spanners at the same time.

    Topeak Alien RX

    As per Badgerpoo. Dead handy. No spanners mind.

    Can’t fault my Topeak Alien either. Had it years, got me out of trouble enough times and as TJ says the chain tool is excellent.

    I’ve gone for the Lezyne CRV 19 as it has a couple of open ended spanners which I need for the brakes on the cx bike – which none of the others have. Thanks for your suggestions though.

    I recommend the Topeak Hexus 16, I have 3 of them, one for the MTBing and SSing in the camelback, one for road biking in the jersey and the last one for MTB racing in the jersey.

    Dont bother with a multi tool, just make sure your riding buddies have one. You not only get to save weight and money, but they will tend to do the repair on your bike for you rather than risk you damaging their tool.

    Worked for my riding buddy for years till I realised. I even used to change his bloody inners when he got a flat as he never owned a pump !
