Carrying the full 20 function V2 EDC Tool on your bike is now easier than ever, with no threading required. The Threadless Carrier simply replaces your top cap and star nut, securing your headset and stem from the bottom with a 4mm hex bolt. The new EDC carrier is available in 8 colors (Black, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Gold & Oil Slick)

TO THREAD OR NOT TO THREAD?

Threading your steerer tube and using the original EDC Top Cap is still the lightest and most cost effective way to run the full EDC Tool. But, if you don't want to cut threads into your steerer tube and still want tools on every ride, the new EDC Threadless Carrier is for you.

NEW V2 EDC TOOL

OneUp has improved the original in-bike multi-tool. The V2 EDC Tool has an improved chain breaker and spoke keys, it also includes a small secondary storage capsule for tubeless plugs and jabber and also made it easier to remove with a lower friction design. The V2 EDC Tool is compatible with all V1 Tool storage options. It has a claimed weight of 227g and retails for $59.50 USD.

TOOLS FOR EVERY RIDE

The V2 EDC Tool gives you quick and easy access to all your trailside essentials. It can be stored inside your steerer tube or in the EDC Pump. And because it's attached to your bike, you'll never forget your tools again.

MORE IN-BIKE STORAGE OPTIONS

The V2 version includes two sealed storage capsules, one small and one large. The new small capsule can be used to cover your jabber and preloaded bacon strips, keeping them sticky for longer. It also allows you to use the EDC Tool and tubeless plug kit inside the small 70cc OneUp pump.

Seems like it would be easy to slide it into whatever bike you are riding that day. But still need a tube and something to inflate it with. Fanny packs, seat wedges, burrito rolls just seem to be inelegant solutions for those. Most times I flat I just ride that sucker back to the trailhead and sort it out when I get home.

I ride with [my] four, five or six kids ages 6-16. There's stops for snakes, frogs, toads and anything else they see, plus bathroom stops, sightseeing stops, clothing adjustment/changing stops. They carry some of their own stuff but I'm the pack mule. So I carry "essential tools" that a "normal mountain biker" would carry (multitool, tube, pump [we're not tubeless]), plus: matches in a waterproof case in case we get stranded overnight, TP, SOAP (for washing hands after handling snakes lizards, toads whatever), a "camp" hand towel for drying hands, food, money (on our 26.2 mile ride [nick named the marathon ride] the last section is road that passes an ice cream shop), a Kamisafe flexible tripod for capturing "kodak moments" (shouldn't they be referred to as Apple moments now?), Ranger Ready repellent, a 4oz bottle of Rock and Roll gold and a 2.5l water bladder for myself. When all is said and done my Raptor 14 weighs close to ten pounds!

That's some serious weight! I laugh sometimes when people haggle over 1-2 lbs being "worth it" for carbon bikes then proceed to strap 2 lbs worth of stuff to the bike, perhaps wear 3-10 lbs in a backpack and...... rider weights can vary often by as much as 150 lbs themselves!

Don't know if it rusts, but I haven't had that problem after I stopped leaving rustable items in bags during that season. The EDC is on its second winter with no rust, and when it rains, I can pull the tool from the steerer, and it's dry. It has loosened up a few times, though.

You'll have to compare this to your experiences, but my local park is literally a stone's throw from the ocean.
