Titanium Pedal Whip Multitool

legopro87

Hi guys. In my spare time I have made a lightweight multitool out of titanium. It has a pedal wrench, bottom bracket wrench, and chain whip hook on it. It also works with center lock brakes and like most bike tools it makes a good bottle opener too. It works pretty well and has been a fun project. I've got a kickstarter campaign going now if people want one. If not I would still appreciate some feedback. I understand this tool won't be useful to everyone but there are probably some bike packers or must be always prepared folks that would benefit from this.



Here's a link to the kickstarter page.

All the details are in the kickstarter page but heres an overview:
9/16" and 15mm pedal wrench
Shimano Bottom Bracket wrench (Works with center lock brakes too)
3 Hooks for use as a chain whip or work great as a tie down point with paracord.
Made from titanium
Weights 130grams
Made at a local shop here in Southern california with the finish work done by hand in my garage.

It's only half a tool, you still need to carry a cassette tool, so for that reason, it's sh1t, and I'm out.

Apart from the fact that this is mainly a UK forum, and spam is spam.

Another solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
Also, titanium is a terrible material for a spanner. It's expensive and brittle and not hard enough.

Not exactly what I was hoping to hear but thanks for your feedback regardless.

You are correct about titanium. It isn't as hard as forged steel. To be honest, I was also a bit concerned about using titanium as a wrench because of this fact. That said, I've been abusing the wrench for a while. Wailing on it with a hammer and torquing bolts extra tight. It's handled it really well and I don't expect the wrench to fail any time soon.

I on,y have the BB cups that need a spanner, not going to carry that on a right for them.....everything else is Allen key.
