EDC
EVERYDAY CARRY


Given the choice, we’d always prefer to ride without a backpack. But no one wants to be that guy who needs to borrow tools or be left walking home while your friends enjoy the rest of the ride. We wanted a solution that would allow us to carry the tools that we need for every ride, without wearing a backpack.

EDC stores your essential trail tools inside your steerer tube, right at your fingertips. Whether you're going out for a quick lunch ride or setting off on a longer adventure, EDC has the tools you need to fix almost any trailside mechanical.

OneUp Components EDC


EDC Pump Specs
• Two Sizes: High Volume 100cc—246mm length and Compact 70cc—195mm length (shorter than a regular 22oz water bottle)
• 100cc Pump holds EDC Tool and a 20g CO2 or EDC Tool and the Storage Capsule

Pump Volume

A mini-pump might look appealing, but with typical volumes of 30–60cc it will take hundreds of strokes to inflate a new tube and has absolutely no chance of reinflating a tubeless setup. When you get a flat, you want to fix it as fast as possible. At 100cc and 160g our high volume pump has the highest volume to weight ratio on the market.

Everyday Carry


Fast-On Head

Firmly push the pump head onto the Presta valve until it bottoms out, then pump. With our fast-on head, the valve stem is securely supported so there's no chance of bending, breaking or unseating the valve and no chance of unscrewing your valve core when you remove the pump.

 Yes - the star nut is installed to a depth below the threaded area. Combined threading plus star nut damage makes this all pretty questionable in my opinion.
  • 10 2
 @Loamhuck:

I'm an early adopter, mine is already installed. When the star nut pulled out of the steerer it scuffed up the sides a bit as expected, but the tap cut threads without any sort of issue. The threads are very shallow, in my professional opinion the integrity of the aluminum is not compromised.
  • 5 1
 You can very easily cut off the top 8mm where the threads are and install a new star nut. I do think that installing a new star nut would probably wreck the threads. You could also sell with the EDC top cap and just buy an extra top cap assembly for your new fork.

 @OneUpComponents: any chance of a garmin mount top cap?
  • 1 0
 I use a Head Doctor from Hope instead of a star nut. It may not be a good solution for the position you are in now. That is, you already have the star nut installed and if you take it out but later want to sell it, a buyer might want to install a star nut anyway. Ideal would be to not have a star nut installed right from the start. I understand that many people here buy complete (and assembled) bikes so they don't have a choice. Unless they can communicate this when they order their bike, that is.

 @Boardlife69: I can't speak for OneUp but I use the EDC with a K-Edge Garmin Mount that sits the Garmin over the stem. Works very well together because the K-Edge is just another spacer on the stack and gives enough clearance with my Edge 820 that I can access the EDC without touching the Garmin. Edge 1000 wouldn't hit the EDC but might need to be moved out of the way to remove the tool. Don't have an Edge 1000 to test with though.

 @DrPete: I have a Gravity (KSA I think) something or another spacer garmin mount which is pretty cool but does not work on every stem as the height of the stem may force you to angle the mount at an unreadable (while riding) angle.

 Wow, only just checked the the installation instructions. This is not what I expected. For the installation of the edc, can't you just push the star nut down (towards the wheel) until it falls out? After all, that's the direction these arrester hooks of the star nut are designed to move and won't really scrape your steerer tube. I expect the Hope Head Doctor I mentioned earlier to still work with the steerer even if it is threaded. It wouldn't be pretty to drive a star nut in there again.

I understand why they require you to keep 1cm of spacers on top of the stem. This is probably because this way you're not really exerting too much clamping force on the threaded (upper) section of the steerer. But I view this as a downside of the system. If you usually leave spacers on top of the steerer, it is because you either aren't quite sure about your stem height yet and want to be able to experiment, but it could also be because you want to be able to change stem height for different courses. In the latter case, always having to leave 1cm of spacers on top may get annoying especially when you place the stem in the lowest position and you're left with an excessively tall portion of steerer extending above the stem.

Didn't Cannondale have this concept for their Lefty forks as well? Of course they must have had it easier as they have a larger diameter steerer to play with. And maybe the dual crown helps as well.

Personally I'd never want to do this to my forks just to carry some tools. I'd rather get the version that attaches to the bottle mounts of your frame. Even if your frame doesn't accept bottles inside the main triangle, it may still have mounts under the downtube where you'd never want to have your bottle.

 @vinay: best way to get rid of a star nut
get big 10mm or so drill bit, drill the top until the top star becomes loose. bend it sideways an pull it out, repeat for the bottom part.
you could knock it out but, I hate the damage caused to alloy steerers by star nuts
star nuts are made from the devils toe nail clippings :/

bmx have used internally threaded for years, mtb needs to catch up!

 @Brightside: just a guess but, most BMX forks are chro mo while MTB is alloy, so im guessing they're thinner. I just cant believe after all this time MTB still mostly, uses star nuts

I got Hope head docs an all my bikes but, you gotta be careful with them, they have been known to distort steerer tubes if you over tighten them
the threaded steerer makes so much sense
  • 1 1
 You don't need the star nut, head doctor or whatever it is called by One-Up here to ride your bike, only to adjust bearing play at the headset. So once you've set it and clamped the steerer, you can take it out and insert your tools. So I guess that would probably be the easiest solution here. Use a Azonic Headlock or something similar to adjust the headset. Clamp the stem. Take the Headlock out. Insert the tool. The only thing is that if you ever need to readjust the headset on the trail, you're going to need the Azonic Headlock again. That said, if you're not going to leave it on the bike anyway and merely use it as a tool, it could be a much simpler and compact product than a real complete Headlock. I can think of a couple of solutions based around the concept of the Headlock which wouldn't be out of place if you'd actually leave them on.

 @shoreboy1866: I always ride with a Stash style bib (pockets in back), but the convenience with this setup of not having to think about remembering tool/pump/tube is by far worth it for me.

 If only there was some sort of small bag that you could attach to your saddle that would hold a CO2/inflator, tube, and combo tire lever/multi-tool/chain breaker...

I used to think saddle bags looked dumb, especially with droppers.

Then I started taping tubes/tools/pumps to my frame and realized that it looked even more dumb.

When these expensive ninja tool options came out, I looked at my six bikes and did some maths... too expensive to outfit each bike with a ninja steerer / crank spindle / bar end tool kit.

So now I rock the Lezyne Micro Caddy S saddle bag that's about the size of a beer can. Fits a tube, CO2/inflator, and combo multi-tool tire lever chain breaker. Plays well with a dropper (doesn't even touch the stanchion) and still has tons of tire clearance. Swaps between bikes in 15 seconds. You may think my saddle bag looks dumb... but I think your $$$ ninja tool and tube taped to your frame are dumb, not to mention your fanny pack.

 With my dropper lowered, I can't fit any saddle bags I own and use the full travel, bag hits the rear wheel. Saddle bags work but uhhh.... not on my mountain bike unfortunately.
  • 1 0
 This is a brilliant solution, but over the years I hodge podged my own. I used that Lezyne bag in my old frame, but had to get the lower profile Lezyne road caddy for my Transition Patrol for tire clearance. I have to strap a tube to the frame, but can still carry levers, multitool, Gerber Dime plier/knife, CO2, inflator, and maybe patches in the bag. I made a pouch out of a road inner tube to house tire plugs and the mini handle and secured it to the bottom of my bottle cage. I might even have zip ties hidden in my handle bars (they don't rattle if you're wondering). Good ol quick links taped to the brake hose, too.

 The Co2 canister is threaded on the bottom of the tool carrier. You unthread your C02 and thread it into your own inflator when you need to use. The inflators are tiny quarter-sized valves. Just keep it wrapped in the center of your spare tube.

 Does this void the warranty on your fork?
  • 25 2
 Our EDC system requires a minimum of 5mm of steerer tube above the stem. We then cut a very fine thread into an area of the steerer tube that doesn't need to be there at all. That said, in most warranty clauses the fine print will reveal that using aftermarket parts or doing modifications may void the warranty.

 @OneUpComponents Worst case just chop the top 8mm or so of the steerer off and then no one will ever know Wink
  • 19 1
 It seems highly unlikely that a fork company would fail to warranty a blown damper if you cut 5mm of threads into the very top of your steerer tube. OTOH if your fork steerer fails right where you cut the threads in it you'll probably be out of luck on a warranty. Personally I see that risk as super unlikely and I'd install this product without fear.

 @Loamhuck: Ignoring the official instruction which is to have the threaded part of the steerer above the stem anyway, unless you are a Gorilla you should only be tightening the stem bolts to generally 5Nm anyway. We installed one today and I can't see how strength could be compromised as the threads are pretty shallow anyway. The 2007 Specialized Enduro fork had the same system for a top tap with no issues and much deeper threads.

 I have this installed for about a week now and it's great.
Install is easy, tools are fantastic quality. Price is reasonable for the quality and peace of mind you get.
I've been using SWAT chain tool and EMT cage before and I like EDC better.

The only complaint is that one chain link half can rattle a bit. I fixed it by putting a thin strap (2mm wide) of electrical tape under the link contact point. It's thin enough not to cause any clearance issues and creates enough tension and padding to stop link from rattling.

Thanks OneUp, yet another wonderful product, I'm a fan! I also use your bash guard and oval ring and really happy with the parts so far. Easy to install, well made, works great and price is just right.

 A thin layer of grease on the quick link works too. They are typically not very corrosion resistance so the grease helps with that as well.

 @OneUpComponents - congrats on this product. I'm wondering though, if I opt for the steer-tube tool + CO2, will the cartridge be enough to inflate a 29er or will I still need to carry a pump? Also, is there a CO2 head/device as part of the headtube system? I didn't see one mentioned in the video. In which case, if a CO2 cartridge isn't enough to fill a 29er and I would need to carry a pump and also a CO2 head/device to even use the cartridge, it kinda begs the question, what's the point?

 I'm not OneUp, but a 20g CO2 will fill most MTB tires to a useable pressure.
  • 1 0
 I used a Sram 16 gram co2 on a 29 maxxis aggressor 2.3 the other night and it filled it perfect
  • 1 0
 Yes a 20g CO2 will be plenty to get a 29er to pressure. This is the OneUp Office Setup: 70cc EDC Pump storing 20g CO2, EDC Top Cap and EDC Tool with Storage Capsule. Gear strap and spare tube. I typically only use CO2 to reseat a tubeless setup.

 @OneUpComponents: What are you keeping in the storage capsule? That's kinda been my biggest curiosity. FWIW, I got mine in the first shipment in early June, and am loving it so far.

 @OneUpComponents: On consideration: I'm surprised you don't carry a small roll of duct tape(I guess it could be wrapped around a frame member, but I've never been a huge fan of that) & are the matches just to start a signal/emergency warmth fire? Not coming up with any good reason for matches myself(though I live in the desert, so it could be a regional thing.)

 Actually a pretty awesome unit, I'm impressed. It's almost comical how many individual tools that replaces in such a tight package, I see 20 years ago someone lugging around several pounds of messy tools instead in their saddlebags.

 This is cool, but I want to know how to get that red OneUp chain guide top plastic piece shown in the pic with the frame pump. I can only find neon green, orange and black for my Bash Guide.

 @OneUpComponents Why does the steerer need to be >5mm above the stem? There doesnt appear to be any reason why you couldn't mount it flush with the stem like a standard top-cap system.

 Ordered! Have been running the all in multi tool in the cranks which is super easy but it gets all rusted and no chain break capability or inflation Anything to avoid a pack for quick rips in the woods

 Maybe this is a lead into finally having forks tapped for a threaded top cap. The star nut is good, functional and definitely time tested. Yet and still, this shows the neo-functional reason for inner threads

 Might buy the tap kit and just stick a bmx top cap on it xD I've been wondering why we don't use that system for a while and never though to just tap my steerer. I hate star nuts.

 @ThomDawson: yup. I can't imagine not having the threaded top cap on my FBM or any other bike I've ridden for the last 20 yrs. Granted the steer tube's were/are steel, but still...

 I have 2 questions:

1. What is the minimum length of steerer tube that this system will work with?
2. I am guessing that there are no plans for a 1.5" version for us Lefty guys?
  • 1 1
 Instead of cutting the thread, I'd make a stem spacer with the thread in it and a pinch bolt.
No steerer tube mods and it can be used on all your different bikes.

Patent pending Smile
It is a great design and puts the weight in a fairly neutral position.
The ones that go in bar ends and hollow cranks are dumb

 If you can wreck your steerer with the instructions and tools you get with this, you deserve to buy that new CSU. It's really quite easy.

 So, can you stuff the multi-tool/smallest hand pump assembly into the steerer, or is this setup only suitable for the bottle cage attachment?
  • 1 0
 The tool stores either in the Pump or in the steerer. The Pump can not store in the steerer tube.

 That Cannondale kit was ahead of its time! Too bad the brand doesn't carry any real-world weight. They would have been better off licensing the design to an accessory company that has a stronger position in the industry. Shame.

 Fairly certain some part of this will work as a bottle opener... or use a pedal, or buy the MRP front deraileur opener if you have an FD mount.

 More like $120 USD. Agree that it's a great idea, but it's cost prohibitive vs. the alternative
  • 9 1
 A little less if you can find a shop or bro who already has the tap tool (I offered to thread the steerer for anyone local who needs it. Happy to do it for anyone else who can make the trip to Tucson make sense as well.

 Does nobody carry 1st aid kits anymore? Bottle for drink tools on the bike, food and phone in clothes pockets. Clearly these people never fall off or injured themselves.
  • 5 0
 But think how light your hip pack will be with only a first aid kit and a sandwich in it.
  • 4 0
 Big pack has the big first aid kit, little pack has the little one. My tools are always on the bike. These are not mutually exclusive items.
  • 1 0
 @DrPete: But this is all about riding packless.
  • 1 0
 @chrismac70: My Evil Insurgent has no bottle cage bosses, so I have a hydration pack all the time that I switch out depending on the length of the ride. That has led to me losing/forgetting tools in the switch even though I have two multitools. So for me it's less about going packless and more not forgetting stuff, but I get what you're saying.
  • 1 0
 @DrPete: Agreed. I still ride with a pack, but this lets me get more weight off my back. Heck, once I figure out my tube solution, I can probably wear a jersey with pcokets & just carry a water bottle, at least in the winter.

 @DrPete: I've never pulled out the first aid kit for anything that didn't need stitches later, other than grabbing ibuprofen. & you could certainly keep a few of those in the storage capsule.

The rides where I won't carry a first aid kit are not the rides where I'm likely to get that wrecked.

 @groghunter: My luck always seems to be such that whatever I don't prepare for is going to happen on my ride--like the tree branch to the face I got the one day I wore a half shell because of the heat.

  • 1 0
 What mountain bike forks have carbon steerers?
  • 2 0
 The area is pretty tight but I'm all ears for a better solution.
  • 1 0
 @DrPete: A lot of high end rigid and XC/trail forks for one. The Rockshox RS-1 series forks are all tapered carbon steerer tubes including their new 130mm travel 27.5 trail fork version. The SID World Cup also has a carbon tapered steerer.
  • 1 0
 @deeeight: Got it. I guess XC wasn't the target market.

 @DrPete:

And yet many XC riders/racers are the very ones who most often don't want to wear a pack to carry such basic tools.
