[Closed] Tool stashing:oneup, Granite etc worth it or gimmick?

I am soon going to add a dynaplug tyre plug tool to the frame strap, and swap out my current SRWRN tool for the newer version which has a chain tool too:

Let me save you some bother, the chain tool makes the whole thing too long to work with either Shimano hollow tech or SRAM. Might work with a different preload bolt on the Shimano cranks, maybe....

Actually it looks like it's the axle of the Shimano cranks, not the preload bolt. It actually fits a set of SLX cranks without the pedal inserts but not the cranks with the inserts.

I bought a forkcork from Bikemonger, 25 quid, it falls out all the time.
I use a bumbag now, hardly notice it.

@5plusn8 want to sell it? Drop me a PM.

i had the granite steerer tool on my last bike , i even got the bar end tools but unfortunately they dont fit chromag carbon bars so i returned them . the steerer tool is very nice and easy to fit but the bits are very short on it which can be a pain.

when i got my new bike i ended up selling it as the orange didnt match( should of bought the black version) . i was going to replace it but the new bike had space for a water bottle cage so i went with the topeak side load ninja cage with 18+ multitool attached and haven't regretted it at all . yes the integration of the granite tool was great but the topeak tool is just so much more useful

@pdw
The tap comes with a checking tool, if your steerer ID is 24.85mm* or more then OneUp say it won't work.

The OD of the tap is 25.45mm*

*Measured with my digital calipers

It seems the sweet spot is 24.2-24.8mm based on the "go, no go" tool measurements

Thanks @dc1988 sounds like it'd be more marginal than I thought.

@nixie you can have it mate, if I can find it. Where are you?

@5plusn8 thanks, that's awesome. I'm in Southampton. Will PM you.

Doh, I have SRAM Stylo carbon cranks...

I had a granite bar insert one with chain breaker. Made of cheese. Broke the first time I used it

Just fitted the granite stash, should do the job nicely and very easy to access. Off to check the reviews on the chain tool for more cheese reports.

Homemade fork cork...cost about £2.
Works well and doesn’t drop out.

Thanks Nixie, eBay scupper plug 3.1cm IIRC. Bit of self amalgamating tape and a tubeless fork I already had. Nice snug fit in a tapered steerer Lyrik/Rev
