The Wolf Tooth EnCase System Bar Kit One is two multi tools in rubber sleeves that slide inside the ends of your handlebar: a 14 function hex bit wrench and a chain and tire plug tool.

What it's for

This kit stores your repair tools in the bike so they are always there and nothing rides in your pockets. One tool goes in each end of the bar, held by rubber sleeves with aluminum end caps that take the place of bar plugs.

How it works

Hex Bit Wrench (14 functions): 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 mm hex, T10, T25, and T30, flat #3.5, Phillips #2, a spoke wrench for 0.127 in nipples, and a valve core wrench. A ball detent swivel head holds the bits and the handle works as a breaker bar. Magnets and O-rings keep the bits in place.

Chain + Tire Plug tool: a chain tool that works on all bicycle chains including 12 speed, with a hardened steel pin, plus a tire plug inserter and 5 butyl plug strips. You turn the chain tool with the 4 mm hex from the Hex Bit Wrench.

Storage sleeves: EPDM rubber sleeves damp vibration and hold the tools quiet in the bar. The rubber flap can be trimmed to fit. There is spare room for a Presta to Schrader adapter, valve core, or master link.

Compatibility

• Handlebar inner diameter: 17.5 mm minimum
• Fits: most mountain and road handlebars, carbon or aluminum
• Does not fit: Syntace Vector, Deity Skywire, Deity Speedway, Jones H-Bar Loop SG 2.5, and some others listed by Wolf Tooth. Does not fit ergonomic road bars with extra bends.
• Chain tool: for pushing chain pins out only. Carry a spare master link to rejoin the chain.
• Pedals and seized axles: may need more torque than the 5 mm and 6 mm bits are rated for
• How to check yours: Measure the inside diameter of your bar end with calipers. Each tool needs about 100 mm of straight bar.

Setup and installation

• Fit: Do not force the sleeves into the bar. Wolf Tooth says they should slide in with one finger. Trim the rubber flap if they are tight.
• Max torque, 8 mm hex: 40 N·m
• Max torque, 4, 5, 6 mm hex, T25, T30: 20 N·m
• Max torque, all other bits: 10 N·m
