When the time calls to get it out then I much prefer using it to a regular bike multitool as its easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces and quicker to remove and install bolts too. At the rear is a loop to thread through a frame strap for extra security if you choose to attach this to your bike.Ī ratchet style multitool is a great addition to any toolkit and the Granite Design RocknRoll tool is smart option, I popped this in my pack for big rides in case of emergencies in hard to reach places and also used it at home when anything from swapping stems, grips, saddle rail bolts, pedals and bottle cages. The whole thing rolls up (size: L130xW50xH30) and is secured closed with strong Velcro. The individual parts slot neatly into pockets, with two spare spaces for you to put the pieces of a quick link (not included). The tool is made from S2 alloy steel and will withstand 60NM at the gear. Inside the small roll up bundle is the ratchet tool itself, an extension rod and 9 bits including 7 Hex bits (2mm/2.5mm/3mm/4mm/5mm/6mm/8mm), Star bit (T25), and Philips bit (PH2). The Granite Design RocknRoll tool is a ratchet tool contained in a Cordura fabric package. Read our review of the Topeak Mini PT30 multi-toolįind a Topeak dealer Granite Design RocknRoll Toolkit - £28.75 Tools: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm hex keys, T10, T15, T25 Torx, 14G, 15G, Mavic M7, Shimano 4.5mm spoke wrenches, chromoly steel chain tool, chain hook, master link tool, Phillips No 2 & flat head screw drivers, tubeless tyre reamer & plug insertion tool, serrated, disc spacer But if you're running a modern disc-braked bike, with a quick-link'd chain, tubeless tyres, and want to as best possible minimise the risk of a long walk home, the Topeak Mini PT30 is well worth a look.
If your bike has no Torx fittings, or if you don't use quick-links, or never break chains, then the PT30 is likely pricey overkill for your needs. Topeak offers a two-year warranty, and based on the longevity of my other Topeak tools you're pretty unlikely ever to need to call upon it. but it is for those appreciating having everything to hand, in one compact package. This is not a tool for those on a tight budget. It looks the business – as you'd want it to, at £39.99 RRP.
The Mini PT30 is a class bit of kit with a high-quality feel and finish. Including an excellent chain breaker and quick-link tool, disc pad spacer, tubeless tyre plug reamer and insertion fork, there are very few road/trailside tasks it won't master, all in a tiny package. The Topeak Mini PT30 is a cracking little tool, bang up to date with modern bike needs.
