Seth, this is awesome. Loving the content lately. This video is great on a lot of levels. Selfishly, I'm shopping for something like the EDC and also my wife is learning to ride. She's been asking about stuff that can go wrong on a ride and this video does a great job of summarizing all the stuff she wants to brush up on. Killing it, dude. Thanks for doing what you do. The cigarette joke had me rolling.
So, we need to see a Leatherman adaptation with bike tools. I alway wind up throwing a pair of pliers in my bag just in case on the really really long rides. I needed them more than once. A leatherman style bike tool would be awesome.
I too am a Leatherman collector/fanboy. On my Skeletool you can technically carry 4 bits of your choosing and so I do hex 4mm and 6mm, along with Phillips and flat so it still functions as a normal tool. I’d love to see them make something bike specific.
Good point! Pliars are missing here! Important for cable adjustments, bending broken spokes, grasping & clipping zip-tie ends (and squishing ticks before they can tuck-in). Personally, I always carry a Leatherman because in addition to the pliers, I can cut patches from an inner tube, trim branches on the trail, clear smaller dead falls with the saw, perform impromptu dental surgery on unsuspecting ATVers, carve a splint, repair a leather glove.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a weird "thing" for multitools! Lol. I buy ones I don't even need, I just see one that looks really neat and compact and go "ooooohhhhhh..look" and buy it! Lol. For the most part I use one of the little compact Topeak mini emergency toolbox kits that literally has everything I'd ever need.
That's a big heavy tool. I like the one up for space and weight. Don't forget to wrap gorilla tape around the pump, add in a couple of zip ties in the storage and $20.

I have to say thank you for being you. I have been subscribed for quite a while now, and I did so, because of you. Your personality is the greatest thing about your videos. Keep being true to yourself and we will all anxiously await every new video. I felt the need to pause and say this at 5:15.
This is great - Seth's ability to act on all the random ideas we churn over in our heads while riding or staring out into space is his gift to the world!
I think Wolftooth's 8-Bit kits have you beat. They have everything your custom tools have plus quick link pliers, a reamer for clearing out the valve stem, tire levers, and a razor blade, all in a package that is small enough to fit easily in your pocket. Although at $140, they are admittedly a bit on the expensive side.
Must say I got to give Seth some credit being creative in making the best multi-tool, still ticked off from a Berm Peak about a Trek Roscoe have not sold an old bike of mine for almost a year, and it's disrespectful that I look up to Seth this is how he treats his former subscribers unbelievable.
I remember seeing your mongoose video in my recommended and I watch it and then your videos where all over my recommended and that’s what made me fall in love with your channel keep up the great work seth
This is pretty cool, and your passion for bikes really comes through. I often go out without the appropriate tools (but fortunately I haven’t really needed more than my Vibrelli V19 and a pump), and just watching this video makes me feel more prepared!
3D print a clip on CO2 holder. Similar to how the crankbrothers box clips on to the unhacked tool...but to fit the hacked one and hold a CO2 (obviously)
Crankbrothers one is the one for me, you could add a strong magnet to one of the sides so that the CO2 can magnet onto the side then you have everything
Hey Seth, I’m watching this from a bed in the berm peak ranger station!!! We rode black mountain trail in Pisgah today, and it kicked my ass!! I love the place, the rc cars were super fun, the crawler course worked really well, and the bike dungeon is incredible!!!!
I was today years old when I saw a mountain bike tire plug for the first time. I've used regular tire plugs before. Those are awesome they are like "fun size" candy bars. Scaled down but just as cool
My favourite is my Topeak Alien, found on the side of the trail about 12 years ago. In fact, I have 5 multi-tools that I found on the side of the trail - never paid for one! I've actually found more, I'd see someone at the trail head and ask if they lost a multi tool. One guy said yes, so threw him the one I just found. He said "no no, I lost mine a couple of weeks ago at a different trail" and threw it back. I threw it back and said "well the trail took and the trail provided". I think the best tool would be one that reminds you to zip up your pack.
Something I have always wanted to do is replace all the bolts on my bike with one or two driver sizes. Then 3d print a little holder for a couple Allen keys, flat repair kit and a small chain tool.
As soon as I saw that Seth bought a 3-D printer I was hoping for things like this. The possibilities are endless. If he gets a HAAS CNC/Lathe to start machining his own parts.. it’s all over. Berm Peak Parts will take over the market. Lol. Great content buddy.
A friend and previous colleague of mine who was the engineer who designed the Silverback Sesta, Sido and Superspeed, designed a fully customizable tool where you could order the tools that you want on your multi tool, or buy a complete kit that has everything and you assemble the tool to what ever preference you have.
One piece of advice a bike mechanic gave me about multitools is that when you buy a new one, always ASAP do a full service on your bike using only the multitool. That will be when you discover which bits on your bike the multitool won't fix and so what extra tools you need to take with you on a long ride. Having done this, I now also carry a small Leatherman style multitool because it has pliers, a cable cutter and a better blade. I also carry a short 12mm Allen/Hex key (For the crank) Quick link pliers and a small dual purpose pump that will inflate tyres and shocks, plus the usual, plugs, tubes, Valves, Air cartridges, tie wraps, tape, spare chain links, spare important bolts, spare derailleur hanger etc. On a multiday ride I even carry spare spokes in the handlebar tube.
I hacked "my own" multitool a few years ago, but I went the other route: instead of adding new stuff I removed all the bits I don't need. I'm pretty happy with the result :)
I honestly like the Crank Bros one. Give me somewhere non-invasive to keep it on my minimalist bike, along with some C02, and I'll buy one from you right now. Seat bags won't work for me, same as you. There's only 2 places the gas bottle will fit during a ride. One of them won't let me breathe, the other is definitely out. I don't have a bottle cage fitted, so there's that room to play with, but it has to look ok. Modern even. I believe in you 👍
If you want to get rid of the wisps on your 3d prints but don't want to spend the hours and hours of fine tuning your machine, just take a heat gun to your prints when they're done and BAM! no more wisps of plastic. @8:03
the bottlecage-thingy is really nice. dont think its bulky at all, its a bottlecage with 2cm extra at the back. also probably it makes for a good ride when the "heavy" tool is way down near the bb
Seth you should come out with your own version of a multi tool. I would definitely buy one. You know what a multi tool should have. Thanks for the tips and tricks, and the awesome content.
Crank Bros M20, 2x CO2 (one with inflator screwed on), tubeless plug kit (mini-cigar sized) and a spare 29” tube. All held in a Backcountry Workshop strap under my saddle. Best option is to make sure your bike is maintained and build it using reliable (not the very latest, high tech, super light fragile) parts
ive been doing this for a while. only the tools needed for that particular bike. really streamlines things. I also run the keys on a steel carabiner. wrap the loose tools in a neoprene chainstay segment. I also carry tube in a small old sock. keeps it from the sun, and you have a rag
I knew he would enjoy the 3d printer and sure enough after the first video of him getting it, he's already modding multi-tools with it. Can't wait to see what else you do with the 3d printer Seth.
This is genius. I've always found multitools...not quite right exactly for these reasons. It never dawned on me to take one apart and put the stuff I want on it.
Maybe if you could fit a valve core into the bolt sleeve and master link onto the sides, you can make Frank Brothers more compact. Also plug storage could be in the other sleeve.
I’ve got a natural CF SB130 with blue accents. I put a ton or research into this and went with: OneUp EDC Lite in the stem, think my plugs are in the little holder at the bottom. In Blue. OneUp EDC 100cc from Yeti with Blue accents. This includes a CO2 inflator. Stores my CO2 inside. Jank Industries center mount for pump Dynaplug in Yeti blue from Yeti stored in pump handle with some paper towels. BOOM done!
I already have the Crank Brothers multi tool on my amazon shopping list. Now I have to get better at using Fusion 360 so I can make the extra parts for my "Berm Peak Conversion Kit". Oh and you could print a case for the multi tool with a CO2 cartridge holder built in, so I think it could become a one stop do it all tool. I think I would want to get my hands on that disk straightener though... I always used to ride with a multi tool and a couple other tools plus a spare tube and a small first aid kit in a largish seat bag. To me they are the perfect storage for a small emergency kit, but I have been looking at printing a bottle cage that will also hold a multi tool and an air pump for a minimalist kit. Your Crank Brothers "Ultimate MultiTool" looks perfect for that kit.
Awesome video, thamx Seth! I have a Icetoolz multi-tool that actually saved my ass just today. Cable came loose from the rear derailer. Was really happy I had that multi-tool today
I tried this with some cheap multi tools I had, it was pretty bad, but you've given me an idea. I used long bolts, the tools got hung up on the threads.
@@lexusstefan927 I was thinking of tapping threads into some aluminum rod I found at my hardware store, but never got that far into the project. I may try again!
Done this myself. Couldn’t find a single tool that covered everything my bike (ok bikes 😅) needed. So started with the closest, took it apart and added everything else that was needed. Oh and removed all the bits that was on the original that my bikes (or me in the case of the bottle opener) didn’t need.
i do have a multitool with all the wrenches under my bottlecage, a chailntool with quicklinks in my stem, a tubless repairkitt in my handlebars and an inflatour with co2 in a 3D printet mount in the headtube
Fantastic work man. That was so informative and I learned so much. I would have to pick the crank brothers hack you build. Big yea but I need nothing else but a co2. Great job 👏🏻
My favourite multi tool was the exact opposite of your behemoths. A tiny one by BBB which I bought at a sports store clearance for half-price. Very compact and clever and if you consider the essentials still quite complete. But if you search for it on the BBB website they sadly seem to not make it anymore. However, I lost it on the trail due to me forgetting to zip up my saddle bag...
You need this story. When I was a 6 my bendix break broke on a Saturday. My dad's day off. He gave up a portion of his Saturday and took me to The tool and die shop that he worked at. He made the part so I could enjoy my Saturday ride with my buds. Being cocky bastard that I was becoming I asked him what if he couldn't make that part? He said why wouldn't I be able to? I said because you don't have the tools. He said Then I will make the tools....😮.... It was at that point in my life that I realized my dad was Superman. He could do anything. He lived to be 103 years old. He was incredibly inventive, much like you my man. A few days ago I tore apart three different multi-tools and built a tool indigenous to my bike packing bike. Needs very little of course I saved grams and space but mostly the peace of mind of not carrying around crap that I don't need. Thank you for listening. And thank you Dad hopefully for some genetic abilities.
in an emergency, you don't actually need a quick-link. just remove a link-pair. you have the tool to push the pin back in. you can usually spare a link-pair from ideal-length to could-be-a-bit-longer length.
This works best on older chains but on hollow pin it’s hit or miss. +1 for older technology in this case. This is a big reason why a lot of modern chain tools don’t have the second fence for loosening tight links.
LOVED this episode, Seth. I’m always trying to streamline my everyday carry items. Now if only you could do this Frankenstein-ing for a Quadlock phone case to allow for magnetized phone mounting/charging AND space for a pop socket (for people with little hands). 😂
I run the OneUp tools and storage in the fork steerer and a CO2 in the pump. My bikes weigh in north of 32 lbs anyway, so the additional weight doesn't concern me. Both bikes have bottle cages meaning a pack is unnecessary on most of my rides!
hey seth! well i have a little tip for the 3d printer, i notice that your prints have that hairy kind of thing, that can be solved with leveling the printer at the right way, then you wouldnt have that problem :)
I love seeing functional 3D printing be applied. Both a great use or designing and prototyping in this episode. Did you do you see what designs were out these to reuse or just make your own? Something to consider is to share any models you design back to the 3D printing community. From there others may remix the design or extend them further.
I bought one of the crankbrothers m20s recently, I love everything about it except the chain breaker. It's so hard to use compared to one of the topeak ones.
Yes, but the key to carrying a multi tool is...do you know how to use it? I have taught "Hands On Trail Side Repair courses and this is what I learned. First, is many people carry these tools and do not know how to use them. Second is some of the chain breaker tools are so small that they are difficult to use. Many of the women in my clinic's wound up purchasing a separate chain breaker that they could get a better purchase/hold of when using. We also learned that if you keep your gloves on it helps with any discomfort when working with the tools.
Seth, I think you’re on to something. If a tool company had a system where you could take your bike into a shop and identify all the tools you would need and build a bespoke multi-tool.
Good job in the construction and good use of your ideas! I just find those big multitools difficult to keep in hand, and work with. I personally prefer to have separate tools - without having to carry my tool box - where the handling is easier
I think the best toolkit is the one with the bits, like Topeak Ratchet Rocket. You can select only bits you need, add a plug and put it in your saddle bag. This will save a lot of weight. BTW, why did you forget about tyre levers?
As a long time maker, I would recommend you stay away from such thin walls around the hole on your 3D printed pieces, especially if you’re printing in PLA. I would recommend using a circle around the hole rather than a square, and possibly using PETG for a functional part like this. PETG will be better for extreme temperatures and more resilient over time.
Dang may have to try the crankbrother's mod one and also buy a 3D printer. I will take the slower frame pump, over Co2, as it allows to to pump my tires multiple times if I am having a bad luck day.
one-up still wins hands down. c02 is useless on the second flat. edc has an inflator if you want it. plugs, joints, valves, advil, all fit in the screw off holder thing. the pump slides over the tool for leverage. its rebuildable, not hacked together and actually has everything on the bike. no brainer.
I expect to see a Berm Peak line of tools come out within the next year or less.
Yes me too
I would love to have a berm peak Multi tool
Totally! I'm in on this
100% agree with this
I'd pay for a berm peak multi tool.
Love it. The Crank Bros abomination also doubles as a spare pedal!
This just gave me some interesting ideas...
seth why dont you jest make you own multi tool from the ground up and sell them 9:05
YOU SAID IT!
Pedals that hold your tools etc!!!
You had an excellent 💡 idea - pedal/toolkit
HE NEEDS TO ADD A PLACE TO MOUNT IT LIKE A PEDAL!!!!!!
Seth having a 3D printer is the ultimate game changer. Hope to see more like this.
would be awsome if Steh would provide the 3D models for us to oder those in metal 😉
maybe with some Berm Peak Express Logos.

The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is very small and a great addition to the ride kit EDC.
I too am a Leatherman collector/fanboy. On my Skeletool you can technically carry 4 bits of your choosing and so I do hex 4mm and 6mm, along with Phillips and flat so it still functions as a normal tool. I’d love to see them make something bike specific.
Knipex XS cobra are my ride pliers
Good point! Pliars are missing here! Important for cable adjustments, bending broken spokes, grasping & clipping zip-tie ends (and squishing ticks before they can tuck-in). Personally, I always carry a Leatherman because in addition to the pliers, I can cut patches from an inner tube, trim branches on the trail, clear smaller dead falls with the saw, perform impromptu dental surgery on unsuspecting ATVers, carve a splint, repair a leather glove.
I always have a Leatherman PS4 in my seatbag.

Quick tip: print the long parts on their side, it will make them a lot more resistant to impact/vibration. Every print line is a potential shear line
Less dimensional accuracy/cylindricity though. For a non-functional prototype it was the right choice I think
That's a big heavy tool. I like the one up for space and weight. Don't forget to wrap gorilla tape around the pump, add in a couple of zip ties in the storage and $20.

For the crank brothers tool, print a co2 grabber on the other end of the bacon strip holder so it can carry your co2 when folded.
My favourite multi tool was the exact opposite of your behemoths. A tiny one by BBB which I bought at a sports store clearance for half-price. Very compact and clever and if you consider the essentials still quite complete. But if you search for it on the BBB website they sadly seem to not make it anymore.
However, I lost it on the trail due to me forgetting to zip up my saddle bag...
This was more clever than i anticipated! Nice job!
You need this story. When I was a 6 my bendix break broke on a Saturday. My dad's day off. He gave up a portion of his Saturday and took me to The tool and die shop that he worked at. He made the part so I could enjoy my Saturday ride with my buds. Being cocky bastard that I was becoming I asked him what if he couldn't make that part? He said why wouldn't I be able to? I said because you don't have the tools. He said Then I will make the tools....😮.... It was at that point in my life that I realized my dad was Superman. He could do anything. He lived to be 103 years old. He was incredibly inventive, much like you my man. A few days ago I tore apart three different multi-tools and built a tool indigenous to my bike packing bike. Needs very little of course I saved grams and space but mostly the peace of mind of not carrying around crap that I don't need. Thank you for listening. And thank you Dad hopefully for some genetic abilities.
i hope this video gets a far reach so that it can educate as many people as possible, great video Seth! -> 1 Mil views soon ;)
T25 and 4mm hex wrenches are identical size, so in all instances you don't need a ball end, a T25 will be better to have than a 4mm in a multi-tool.
Haha that’s the complaint , “ I ain’t got no lighter with my happy smokes meal, wtf “
Seth well done mate that was very interesting and i like the way you think.
Crank Brothers!!! Seth, I love your videos and this one was one of the best ❤
in an emergency, you don't actually need a quick-link. just remove a link-pair. you have the tool to push the pin back in. you can usually spare a link-pair from ideal-length to could-be-a-bit-longer length.
This works best on older chains but on hollow pin it’s hit or miss. +1 for older technology in this case. This is a big reason why a lot of modern chain tools don’t have the second fence for loosening tight links.
It’s not have we learned anything, it’s has the multi tool manufacturers learned anything. Great job as usual 👍
This was dope bud. I'll definitely buy your line of multitools.
LOVED this episode, Seth. I’m always trying to streamline my everyday carry items.
Now if only you could do this Frankenstein-ing for a Quadlock phone case to allow for magnetized phone mounting/charging AND space for a pop socket (for people with little hands). 😂
I run the OneUp tools and storage in the fork steerer and a CO2 in the pump. My bikes weigh in north of 32 lbs anyway, so the additional weight doesn't concern me. Both bikes have bottle cages meaning a pack is unnecessary on most of my rides!
hey seth! well i have a little tip for the 3d printer, i notice that your prints have that hairy kind of thing, that can be solved with leveling the printer at the right way, then you wouldnt have that problem :)
I love seeing functional 3D printing be applied. Both a great use or designing and prototyping in this episode.
Did you do you see what designs were out these to reuse or just make your own?
Something to consider is to share any models you design back to the 3D printing community. From there others may remix the design or extend them further.
Seth, you must call the last one "the crankenstein", have it manufactured and sell it. I know I would buy one.
I bought one of the crankbrothers m20s recently, I love everything about it except the chain breaker. It's so hard to use compared to one of the topeak ones.
Yes, but the key to carrying a multi tool is...do you know how to use it? I have taught "Hands On Trail Side Repair courses and this is what I learned. First, is many people carry these tools and do not know how to use them. Second is some of the chain breaker tools are so small that they are difficult to use. Many of the women in my clinic's wound up purchasing a separate chain breaker that they could get a better purchase/hold of when using. We also learned that if you keep your gloves on it helps with any discomfort when working with the tools.
Great Sunday everyone! It’s always greater with a new Berm Peak video! ❤
Bike company’s could have a refillable CO2 cartridge built into the frame. So you only needed a flexible hose to inflate tyres.
Seth, I think you’re on to something. If a tool company had a system where you could take your bike into a shop and identify all the tools you would need and build a bespoke multi-tool.
Good job in the construction and good use of your ideas! I just find those big multitools difficult to keep in hand, and work with. I personally prefer to have separate tools - without having to carry my tool box - where the handling is easier
you should hollow out an 8 mil, and add a plug and a bacon stop to it as a cap
One thing that I do ride with is a Gerber multitool. Has saved me more than once.
I think the best toolkit is the one with the bits, like Topeak Ratchet Rocket. You can select only bits you need, add a plug and put it in your saddle bag. This will save a lot of weight. BTW, why did you forget about tyre levers?
Seth is close to creating the bicycle version of the Wenger 16999! Nice work!
Crankbrother's for sure! But I think you convinced me to get myself a 3D printer!
As a long time maker, I would recommend you stay away from such thin walls around the hole on your 3D printed pieces, especially if you’re printing in PLA. I would recommend using a circle around the hole rather than a square, and possibly using PETG for a functional part like this. PETG will be better for extreme temperatures and more resilient over time.
Dang may have to try the crankbrother's mod one and also buy a 3D printer. I will take the slower frame pump, over Co2, as it allows to to pump my tires multiple times if I am having a bad luck day.
Lezyne and CrankBros execs: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE IT DOWN NOW!!
one-up still wins hands down. c02 is useless on the second flat. edc has an inflator if you want it. plugs, joints, valves, advil, all fit in the screw off holder thing. the pump slides over the tool for leverage. its rebuildable, not hacked together and actually has everything on the bike. no brainer.
U can never have enough multi tools seth
