In this article I will review the Crankbrothers Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD, Time ATAC and Crankbrothers Eggbeater cleats. It is a small tool that might be able to compete with the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD. I will share my experiences and why I think it should be part of your travel toolbox.

Topeak Nano TorqBit for TorqBar
The Topeak Nano TorqBit is a 1/4″ hex bit with a fixed preset torque value that you can use with each bit holder and each bit. I personally use it in combination with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench that I reviewed a little while ago, but it also comes in a set called the Topeak Nano TorqBar.
I will also compare the Topeak Nano TorqBit against the Ritchey Torque Key which also has a fixed preset torque value.
Park Tool BBT-10 Preload cap tool Shimano Hollowtech II cranks
In this article I will share my experience with the Park Tool BBT-10 Preload cap tool Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. I have been using this tool for a long time to adjust the pre-load on Shimano Dura Ace 9000, Shimano Deore XT M8100 and Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II cranksets
Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring, that basically helps you to install a direct mount chainring onto a Shimano Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crank (or the SLX M7100 version of the Shimano Direct Mount cranksets).
PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump review
The CO2GO+ Mini Pump from PRO Bikegear is a full aluminum mini-pump that can be used as a manual pump and a CO2 inflator. The PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump is robust and has two clever ways of storing the CO2 cartridge.
Finally I’ll do a brief comparison with Barbieri Moskito Pump, which is also a 2 in 1 pump.
PB Swiss Tools PB 186.6-100M Bitholder Screwdriver
In this article I will share my thoughts about the PB Swiss Tools PB 186.6-100M bitholder screwdriver with the famous PB Swiss classic handle. I will try to compare this bitholder screwdriver with different brands like Hazet, Stahlwille and Wera Tools.
Prototipo Works Valve Adaptor Presta to Schrader
In this article I will review a small item I have stored in all my saddlebags: Prototipo Works Valve Adaptor that converts Presta to Schrader. Especially with gravel riding on the Canyon Ultimate CF SL 8 and the self supporting character of gravel riding, I did put this beautiful and high quality valve adapter into my saddle bags again (even on my road bike).
Knipex Electronic Super Knips 78 61 125
In this article I will review the Knipex Electronic Super Knips with product number 78 61 125, that is the perfect tool to cut zip ties and press cable end-caps onto the shifting inner cables. For me it is one of these basic tools that have use-cases for cycling but also beyond that.
Birzman Grease Gun BM14-LGG-S with Lubrication Grease
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Birzman Grease Gun BM14-LGG-S with a tube of lubrication grease. This is a Birzman branded version on the Dualco Squeeze Type Grease guns, which is also the brand behind the Motorex Mini Grease gun.
Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Speedplay, Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo pedals
The Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Speedplay, Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo and Crank Brothers pedals is the perfect tool to improve your cycling ergonomics by adjusting the cleats with high accuracy in a few simple steps.
I’m riding Speedplay Zero Stainless pedals (since 2003) and bought me a pair of Sidi Wire Carbon Vernice shoes with a Speedplay specific sole. I will use the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool to install a pair of new cleats and improve the ergonomics on my road bike.
