The Crank Brothers TS18 Tube Stash Kit is an on-bike tool system that mounts to any standard 64mm bottle cage bosses. The kit combines an 18-function multi-tool with a storage bracket and hook-and-loop strap that holds a spare tube, CO2 cartridge, mini pump, or whatever else you want to stash on your frame. The idea is to keep your repair gear on the bike rather than in a pack or pocket, accessible without stopping to dig through a bag.

The multi-tool lives in an alloy tube that slots into the mounting bracket. Inside you get hex wrenches in 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6mm sizes, plus an 8mm adapter bit for crank arm bolts. T25 and T10 Torx bits cover disc rotor bolts and certain stem hardware. A flat screwdriver handles the occasional adjuster screw. The chain tool breaks and rejoins 8 through 12-speed chains and can install connecting pins on 10, 11, and 12-speed setups. A magnetized section on the tool body stores a spare quick link so you have one when you need it.

Flat repair gets its own dedicated tools. A full-size tire lever pops beads without the fumbling of smaller levers. The tubeless plug tool and four included plugs handle punctures that sealant won't seal. A valve core remover lets you add sealant or swap cores on the trail. The CO2 inflator threads onto any standard cartridge and works with Presta valves. The mounting bracket holds 16g, 20g, or 25g cartridges externally, or you can swap in a Crank Brothers Klic HV hand pump if you prefer not to carry consumables.... Read More
