Most multi-tools include all the metric &#8220;Allen&#8221; and &#8220;Torx&#8221; sizes needed for a bike. <br><br>2) Many even have a chain breaker, which is essential in case of chain repair. <br><br>3) Always carry a spare chain link on your bike; many people attach these links to the derailleur cables using tape.<\/p>\n<ul>\n    <li>Keys 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm: For small screws on your bike: derailleur limits, grips, and suspension adjustment<\/li>\n    <li>Keys 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, Torx 25: For all screws on your bike<\/li>\n    <li>Keys 6mm and 8mm: Mainly for suspension pivots, complete wheel axles, pedals, and cranks<\/li>\n    <li>8mm keys on multi-tools are rare. In an extreme troubleshooting case, combining a 5mm and a 3mm can save the ride!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>4) A spare inner tube and a pump, or a CO2 with adapter are essential in case of a flat tire. Prefer a pump for multiple uses.<\/li>\n\n    <br><br>5) Tubeless tire repair kits are also available, but will never replace the inner tube and pump.<\/li>\n    <br><br>6) Patch kits to repair an inner tube or tire sidewall are also a good idea and can save a bike ride.<\/li>\n    <br><br>7) A 27&#8242; inner tube can be strategic. It stretches onto a 29&#8242; and can be somewhat compressed for a 26&#8242;.
