When you most need a tool pod, you're usually in one of two places: a poorly lit garage littered with bike parts and beer cans or in nature dealing with some combination of sharp rocks, lousy weather, blood, and crushed egos. In those shameful situations, searching for a mini-tool that doesn't burden the late-night repair, freshly wrecked body or delicate pocket can be like adding a few more rock chips into a shredded elbow.
However, the RavX Performer X offers a quick solution—a $25 solution, with 20 functions. Compact and shaped like a clipless pedal, the switch-blade-style tool has a pop-out plate with a chain breaker; 13-, 14-, and 15- gauge spoke wrenches; 8-, 9- and 10-mm flat wrenches and other essential tools. The easy-to-handle chain breaker includes a floating pin that self aligns to the chain in order to prevent breakage. It is also equipped with a rotor-bolt-friendly T-25 torx wrench, two screwdrivers and six allen wrenches. The designers at RavX know flat tires are the most common mechanical emergency on roads and trails and added two tire levers, making sure you never have to push your bike home in a lightning storm.
