Favourite bike tool gadget
When I recently got a Specialized Roubaix as normal a new bike equals new tools. However, this time instead of yet another annoying splined spanner or socket with a ever so slightly different pattern to the half dozen I already have, I needed a torque wrench.
Although carbon fibre isn't as delicate as some folks make out, over tightening stems and seatposts can lead to dangerous/expensive problems so I got a Ritchey Torque Key. It's a loverly little thing, fits in the hand nicely.
I have one of them ... goes out with the mtb (seatpost
tweaking) well it is carbon after all 
And seeing as how just about everything else is around
5Nm .... job done 
have to admit to a love affair with the topeak hexus
and it's chain tool 
still on the 3rd switch-back of Bwlch !
That looks handy - where did you get it from? How much?
Thanks!
