Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Topeak Ninja C Bike Chain Tool: Compact, Sleek, and Efficient! by John Springer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works like a chain tool but not well as a tire end cap

These tools are heavy and their press-fit construction is insufficient to prevent them from falling out. Unlike most compression-style shaft end caps that use an open-ended hex bolt for tightening, this end cap is meant to be simply twisted and hand-tightened. This is particularly problematic with road bars, as the end of the bar tape is tucked into the tube to create a clean finish. The twisting motion only twists the bar tape and provides no traction. Finally, the supplied rubber ring fits handlebars with relatively small tubes. If Topeak also included a larger bagel, they could easily increase the size of the tubes that fit the chain tool.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
