Can anyone recommend the smallest/lightest tool for removing a wheel whilst out riding (ie. not a 14 inch long pedal spanner!!)

Thanks

    No QRs. Well you will need a 14/15 mm ring key of some sort. Any tool shop should be able to supply that. If you have a bike shop that sells cheap bikes or BMX ones they should also be able to help.

    If it's a fixed/ss try a pedros trixie or surly jethro tule. There's some pics on my gear link of the trixie, it attaches to your bottle cage bolts and also tightens lock rings etc. . Can't comment on the surly tool because I've not had one but surly stuff is top notch kit :wink:
