Topeak Is More Than Tools - Interbike 2016
Mountain bike trekking is enjoying a resurgence. Topeak's beautifully made bags and touring essentials can be used for hardtails or dual-suspension bikes, and include the Bikamper - a compact, one-person tent that incorporates your bike as a support member.
Topeak has stepped it up in the past two seasons. The Asian manufacturer already had a strong reputation for its range of value priced tools and accessories, but lately, they have upgraded their entire lineup and it screams with quality finishes and engineered improvements - and new, very relevant products are popping up almost every month. I am presently reviewing a selection, but until then, here's a taste of the new Topeak:
Sturdy and discreet. If you need to share your living space with your bike, or your other toys are filling up your garage...
...Hang it vertically on the Swing-Up DX bike holder and it will swing out of the way, conserving valuable floor space.
Two ways to add your essential survival items to a water bottle cage. The Ninja Co2 cage and its companion cage adapter hold a pair of canisters and an inflation device.
Omni Ridecase will keep your smartphone Strava ready on your handlebar or stem.
We are planning a full review this fall. It also mounts to the handlebar.

I've got 2 of these tools rusted out in my parts bin at home.
This Topeak one looks a little nicer, especially for big tires, which is something the feedback one struggles with, even with the optional longer hook.
Premium construction, works really fast, and the gauge is a good little thingy.
