Fabric Chamber Ratchet multi-tool


This neatly packaged tool from Fabric weighs 162g and includes Allen keys from 2 to 8mm (the 8mm bit snaps onto the 5mm), two Phillips and two flat-head screwdrivers, plus T10 and T25 Torx keys. All the tool bits live inside the ‘chamber’, which doubles up as the handle.

The pricier ratchet version we tested requires you to reverse the tool bit when switching from tightening to loosening. This is easy to do but means fiddlier jobs require a little more patience.

Three indents on each tool bit snap into the ratchet head, offering a solid connection and giving you enough range to attack hard-to-reach bolt heads. You can still apply pressure through the tool and onto the bolt when really torquing things up, but push down too hard and you’ll dislodge the tool bit.

Price 52$

Crank Brothers Mallet 3 pedals

Gravity maniacs everywhere swear by the Mallet, and it’s easy to see why. The large platform affords ample support to the foot whether clipped in or not, and adjustable pins allow you to tailor the grip to your preference. We chose to run the pins pretty far in to prevent them getting in the way when clipping in.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
