“We’ve beat up our Mountain Morph pretty good over a long period of time. In fact, it’s worked so long and so good, we’ve forgotten when we got our grubby mitts on it” Doesn’t matter if you run tubeless or still roll tubes, there’s nothing worse than sitting on the side of the trail farting [...]

By Topeak Ergon Racer Yuki Ikeda (Formerly Saito) ミニ20プロ Mini 20 Pro 僕のトピーク製品の中で一番使用率が高いのがミニ20プロです。デザインが良く、使いやすく、軽いのが特徴です。２０ものツールがついていて150gはびっくりです！ The Topeak product I use most is probably the Mini 20 Pro. It is well designed, easy to use, and light! It weighs only 150 grams for 20 tools. ミニ20プロは相棒のような存在で、サドルバッグの中に常に携帯し、全てのトレーニングライドに持って行きます。レッドビル１００やブレックエピックなどの長距離レースでは何がおきるかわからないので必ず携帯するアイテムの一つです。バイクに起こりうるほとんどの問題に対応できます。レーサーの中には軽量化のためにツールを持たない人もいますが、個人的にはリスクを負うよりも準備万全の装備をするほうが良いと思います。 Mini 20 Pro is my little buddy. I carry it in my [...]

. I’ve been a fan of Topeak’s fold-out tools for years. The finish on the new Mini 20 Pro Gold is exceptional. The chromed bits have a hard finish and look cool. The Mini 20 includes every tool you’re likely to need trailside. Topeak even includes a chain hook to help with chain repairs. The [...]
