Topeak Mini 20 Pro Tool (Gold)

Dieses Tool bietet nahezu alles, was man unterwegs gebrauchen kann. Innensechskant in allen benötigten Größen, Kreuz, Schlitz, Kettentool u.v.m
Ich war ganz hin und weg beim Erkunden der ganzen Funktionen. Und Erkunden ist hier tatsächlich das richtige Wort. Das erste mal, dass ich mir bei einem Multitool das Handbuch geschnappt habe.
Dabei ist es sehr klein und leicht bei sehr gutem Material und Verarbeitung. Dass es mit einer eigenen, genau passenden Tasche kommt rundet es noch ab.

Firstly, let me say, this multi tool looks incredible! Sounds odd to focus on the aesthetics of a multi tool, but it really is a thing of beauty! The finish is high end – more so than any pictures could show.

I bought this multi tool to replace one that was gifted to me from a friend when I started cycling, in comparison, it is a lot smaller and lighter – which is a good thing! It slips in my bag a lot easier due to its size, and is nearly 90g lighter (80g with the neoprene case), and as you know lighter make the ride easier!! This will also easily fit into a pocket due to its small size.

I opted for the gold version as opposed to the black version, as it’s easier to locate when I need it, and if you’re stressing with a repair on a trail, or on the road, having an easy to locate multi tool takes a small bit of stress away.

Onto the actual tools, it features 23 ‘tools’ ranging from things you’d normally see on multi tools such as a variety of hex keys (including a 3mm one on the removable chain tool to perform maintenance on the main body of the tool itself i.e. if the tools are too tight or too loose when trying to open them up, or if you need to lubricate and clean the tool, with this small foldable hex key, it means you don’t have to find another 3mm hex key as everything is already here – very clever design indeed!!), Philips and flat head screwdrivers, t25 & t10 torx screwdrivers, as well as a variety of spoke keys to tighten your spokes (I don’t even have one of these in my workshop, so this is a welcome bonus for a multi tool!).

Not a unique feature, but it isn’t found on every multi tool you’ll come across, but this multi tool features a small (almost paper clip like) metal wire which is used to hold your chain in place whilst you repair it (otherwise known as a chain keeper) – much easier than getting a mate to hold it or a random stranger if you’re out on a solo ride and your chain malfunctions.

Only after reading the instructions did I notice that the 10mm hex key is actually a cover and if you pop it off there’s an 8mm hex key underneath! After seeing the 8mm hex the side of the box and failing to see it, I thought I had been shortchanged, but is a great space saving idea!!

With multi tools, the danger is if you buy cheap, this could cost more in the long run, I’d recommend spending a little more on a higher quality tool such as this one, rather than get a cheaper quality one that could damage the screws and bolts in your bike – resulting in more damage and a higher repair bill.

One of the only issues with this multi tool is the the tyre lever is much too small, and too unforgiving as it’s made of metal – you don’t want this anywhere near carbon rims, and you’d be much better off using some larger plastic tyre levers instead. What would be really great here instead of a tyre lever, would be a really small knife, just in case you’re out on the trail and you’ve forgotten your dinner, so it would make hunting for your food a little easier – or for emergency use.

Obviously with a multi tool, if it’s small and easily storable that’s great, but you can’t make it too small as you need to be able to use it effectively, if you remember GCSE physics this is where levers come into play. For me, the size is fine and gives adequate levers for my strength to tighten/loosen screws – for someone who may not have the strength I posses it could become a little difficult due to the shorter levers! Although, don’t worry, I’m more Joe Average than Hercules so it won’t apply to many people – and if you’re able to get out on your bike, I’m sure you will be able to muster more than enough strength to use this tool to the best of its ability!

Potentially the best thing about this tool? After you’ve finished your ride, and you’ve just settled down to quench your thirst with a well earned beer or two – who wants a trip to the kitchen to get a bottle opener, or if you run into a disaster whereby your bartender has forgotten his bottle opener, you’ve got one on here – so sit back, relax and even if you’ve not had to use this to work on your bike, you may as well use it to open that sweet, refreshing nectar – although it goes without saying, drink responsibly!

Beautiful piece of engineering. Quality tool steel, beautiful design, elegant, sleek, small, light. Detachable chain tool has strong pin.
Half the weight of the park 3.2, half of the bulk, better tool overall. Metal tire tool for emergencies only, get a pair of plastic pedro’s.

Everything but the tire lever is first rate. Just carry a set of levers separately. Everything feels sturdy and easy to get to. Well thought out. Love it.

Received quickly and the Amazon price was great. Very solid, compact little unit – just big enough to provide some leverage. Great fit and finish and seems to be very well made. When it arrived, I made some routine adjustments a couple bicycles just to check it out – everything worked as expected. Comes with a small neoprene pouch (it’s in the box – don’t throw it away) to keep from chewing up other stuff in your pack.

My dad is a hardcore cyclist, his bikes are worth more than most and he LOVED this!! it’s very small and he loved the beautiful yellow finish. He said his follow riding buddies would be jealous. It is very hard to find something for someone who has almost everything. I don’t know what any of these tools do, but I thought it would be useful for his rides in blue ridge. I researched it and it seems this is a good inbetween tool and not too big. Dad seemed to think the tools were just right.
