Howdy folks!
I volunteer as a safety marshal; for various cycling events in my area - New York City Century, Jersey City Ward Tour, Five Boro Bike Tour, Bike MS New York City, Tour de Bronx, etc. Part of my duties - do repairs on bikes that have broken down along the route/road. Usually flats, but also loose pedals, chain came off, loose cables, etc.
Need recommendation for a thinner 15mm combo wrench. "Normal" box end is fine for wheel nuts, on older(non quick release) wheels. But I need the thinner open end, for loose pedals. Modern/higher end bikes will have a 6 or 8mm hole - inside. But older bikes will only allow an open end. Sometimes a "regular/standard" open end will work - but a thinner one will be better.
Don't really hang out by NAPA, Auto zone, O'reilly's, etc. too much. So not sure what they carry. Don't need a set - maybe something like this:
Also, getting tired of carrying my kit(flat repair patches, tire levers, multi tool, chain breaker, etc.) in plastic bags. Need recommendation for a tool roll bag. Nothing fancy, doesn't have to be super durable. Prefer some kind of nylon material. vs. leather or thick canvas. Something like this:
Thanks for any leads!
