Does anybody own one twinned with an EDC tool? Do they work well and is there any leftover space for an emergency contact note and a £5er?

I’ve got one, seems to work pretty well
I’ve never had to use the tyre plug (touch wood!) but the chain tool is good

It’s a tight fit, I tried but couldn’t fit a valve core tool, but there would be space for a fiver. Not sure about a fiver and a note though, it’s a really tight fit!

As above, you can't fit much else in there once you've got a couple of spare plugs.

I have a few plugs, the pliers and the pokey bit.

Could easily fit a tenner in there but nowt else!

Tenner is a tight squeeze.

Stopped using mine and swapped to a CO2 canister, with MucOff tyre plugs in the bars.

I have the EDC tool but not the plug and pliers ... but I had a disastrous commute last week when they would have been so useful.

On the singletrack section of my ride home I got the chain so far stuck between cassette and spokes (including the quick link) that i ended up having to use the EDC chainbreaker to get the chain out. I was getting hammered by mozzies and horseflies so getting super annoyed and stupidly put the chain back around the stay!!! I'd used my only quick link so had to try and get one of them off. I've had success in the past, but these were really tight.

Believe it or not the EDC tool has a quick link remover included - although it's awful! Luckily i had mobile coverage and I found the video, but it took me about 30 mins to get it to work. I was literally screaming ... especially as I was stuck up a mountain with a really sketchy descent ahead and no lights and it was getting dark.

Anyway, i reckon it's well worth having a decent quick link remover on hand. Just found the West Biking tyre lever / quick link removers too. Could be useful.

I have the EDC tool but have a stripped down Dynaplug tool in there with x3 spare plugs, £10 note and a small blade (for fighting people with, obviously).

Ok cheers guys. Yeh ive had the (mis)pleasure of using the chain breaker on the tool. Took a wee while to figure it out so figure if im going to get a tubeless repair tool may aswell get the one that fits, and makes chain breaking easier. Thanks for the input!
