Through trial and error, we have created a minimalist toolkit that enables us to fix most of the common mechanical problems we may encounter while touring, still keeping its total weight to a minimum.

Tools/Repair kit:

+Park CT-5 Mini Chain Tool* (amzn.to/3TsAwNU)
+Topeak Ninja C Chain Tool* (amzn.to/3lEG1Fp)

* The Brompton Multitool doesn't incorporate a chain tool so we are proposing the Park CT-5 or Topeak Ninja C
** The Pioneer is lighter but doesn't have a corkscrew. The smaller blade may be preferable in some countries.
