Lezyne HV Drive
What's the most annoying thing after patching a flat tyre? Exactly: When it takes forever to inflate the tyre. The Lezyne HV Drive has already been voted the winner several times in tests. Its trump cards: no frills, but a light and solid aluminium design - and above all a very solid pumping performance. The hose is integrated into the pump and can be screwed onto Presta and Schrader valves. The mini pump is e.g. available here.
Vaude First Aid Kit M Waterproof
It went badly. Sometimes it's not just the bike that takes a few knocks in a crash. Emergency care with good first aid kits (tested here) is a must. Our tip: This first aid kit from Vaude offers everything you need for first aid treatment of injuries. Wound dressing and wound compress, triangular bandage and fixation bandage, plasters in different sizes and a blister plaster. The rescue blanket can also be helpful in the event of a fall. The packaging is also well thought out: all the utensils are packed in a robust, waterproof bag. The First Aid Kit from Vaude is available here.
Topeak Mini PT 30
The test winner in the BIKE mini tool test. The pocket-sized bike workshop has all the tools that touring bikers need for off-road breakdown assistance. Chain riveter and brake pad spreader are just as much a part of it as a removable chain lock tool, spoke spanner, plug puncher for tubeless sausages, Torx and Allen key (T10 / T15 / T25; Allen: 2-L / 2.5 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 /8/ 10 mm). The pocket knife smoothly cuts cable ties or even slices Italian salami for a snack - if it's small enough. The Topeak Mini PT 30 is e.g. available here.
Wolf Tooth 8-Bit Pack Pliers
Handy, lightweight and really clever - the multifunctional Chain lock pliers from Wolf Tooth is the ideal complement to conventional mini tools. Because the latter usually lack pliers. The sophisticated tool can be used to crack chain locks in no time at all. It also makes it easier to loosen tight valve nuts. And the tool even has a valve core remover for removing the valve core. It can also be used as a tyre lever for aluminium rims. Available in the colours black, red, blue, gold and green.
