If you don't want to put your bike multitool in your rucksack or jersey pocket, you can mount the mini tool on your bike with a holder. That way, you always have it with you when you need it. You can buy special holders for this purpose, which are usually docked onto the bottle cage (e.g. from Specialized, Syncros or Topeak), or make your own multitool holder. In our do-it-yourself solution, we attach the small bike multitool to the bottle cage using a self-bent aluminium plate and an old tube. It doesn't matter what type of multitool you have or which manufacturer it comes from. We show you how to build the holder yourself in your own workshop at home in the video instructions.
