All Arround MTB

Presented in a durablefeeling tool wrap, this selection of 19 high-quality tools is a good starting point for the home mechanic to expand upon. Pedro’s ‘cog wrench’ is a hassle-free alternative to a chain whip, with a great handlebar-grip-style handle. The cable cutters are another highlight, slicing through both inners and outers easily. You’ll need an adjustable spanner (not included, though there is room for one) to make use of some of the tools.At this price,we’d expect common bike tools such as a T25 Torx wrench and bottom bracket (BB) tool to be included. Price $255

Pedro’s offering sports some of the longest Allen keys on test, aiding access to awkwardly-positioned bolts. The robust chain tool is detachable from the tool body (with a firm tug). With its bulky composite body and cramped layout, the RxM has a lower-quality feel than the other tools on test. The 8mm extension sits too low on the 6mm Allen key, which means it gets in the way of the adjacent tools and is fiddly to stow away. It’s also missing a T25 Torx wrench – an essential tool for modern MTBs – which is disappointing considering its size and price. Price $36

SO GOOD The size and chunky build of the Pedro’s multi-tool make it ideal for those with big hands or for use with winter gloves when fiddly little tools are a pain. There are three spoke keys, Allen keys ranging from 2mm to 8mm, a Torx T25 key and a bottle opener, to name just a few of its 17 tools. The chain tool is big enough to tackle stubborn links, offering plenty of leverage.

The affectionately named Chain Pig makes cleaning your chain that bit easier thanks to a hook that slips over the lower jockey wheel on your bike's rear derailleur, removing the need to physically hold the cleaner while you cycle the cranks.
