The X-factor
Topeak's minimalist bike tool packs a punch and it's affordable..
TOPEAK's X-tool is something you can carry and use for under RM50 a piece.
There are 10 implements in the tool which is very useful for you to carry out field repairs -- especially when it comes to tightening loosened parts on you bike.
For a no-frills bike tool, the X-tool proved to be highly useful for jobs like removing screws and nuts on your bike.
The most useful implement on this bike tool is the philips screw driver.
It's there when you need it and next to it, are the hexagon wrenches that are versatile for chores like tightening your bottle cage, adjusting your saddle on your bike's seatpost.
What's more awesome is that it comes in black and the hardened steel implements means that you can perform some heavy chores with it.
In the tool, there is a removable allen wrench for you to perform two-handed chores.
The Topeak X-tool weighs about 115grammes and can be stashed in your saddle bag when not in use.
It has a measurement of 9.7 x 2.8 x 1.8 cm and its body is made of hard plastic.
