I think the last time I had a bike without QRs was probably the X-mart BMX I had as a kid. 13mm or other? I don't carry any wrenches at all because anything requiring a wrench on my own bike is likely not going to get fixed at the side of the road. Was thinking of throwing a cheap wrench in my toolkit just for future incidents like this. I know it's silly but I just can't resist anything mechanical and busted. nate Make it a crescent wrench & you're covered. OK, I'm not really a weight weenie, but that seems a little excessive I have a couple cheap metric wrenches that I got with lots of yard sale tools that had other stuff I wanted in them, and they weren't awful enough to throw out, just wondering which one to toss in the seat bag. nate Well if you're into damsels in distress, you've got to make sacrifices. It's one thing to carry a wrench for your own bike, another to cover anything you happen upon. Personally, I carry no tools, save a tire iron & patch kit, spare tube or 2 and a frame pump. I could have probably rescued your damsel. |
