Sports reviews of Topeak Alien II 26-Function Bicycle Tool
Customer Review: Nice tool set include chain pin tool and spoke adjusting wrench
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It is a nice tool set, include all the allen wrenches you needed to adjust bike handle, brake and brake handle, speed rover, seat position.
It also include the chain tool for remove a section of the chain. In addition, it has two size spoke wrench for ajusting the wheel.
When you ride your bicycle, your tires may rub against the brakes. This is easy to fix wheel problem - spokes need adjusting. What you need to do is wheel truing.
Place bicycle upside down. Spin the wheel while holding a pice of chalk close enough to the wheel. After spun around a few times, stop the wheel and take a look those chalk marks. Do this process on the other side of the wheel. Tighten the spokes on the other side of the chalk mark and loosen the spoken facing the chalk mark. Adjust each spoke one turn.
Wipe out that chalk mark. Once all the chalk marks are gone, you can spin the wheels and using chalk to find the next spot to tighten and loose the spoke. At the end, you have a perfect round wheels :-)
The included spoke wrench has two sizes. It works fine for all our bikes.
I used this tool assembled a complete tandom bike in two hours. The tool felt little loose at the end of the assembly. But nothing really worn out.
Customer Review: More for your money & very handy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this tool because I recently bought my two kids (11 & 12) new bikes. My daughter's handlebars were loose & I had no way to get the bike back to the store I bought it from for them to tighten them. I saw this tool on Amazon & purchased it. When it arrived a few days later, I removed it from the package & fixed her handlebars within 5 seconds. This tool has so many options & comes with instructions on how to fix the various parts of a bicycle. The instructions are really helpful if you are not familiar with some of the tools. I would recommend this to anyone who owns a bike because it will truly come in handy if anything were to ever break or become loose. It also comes with a nice, black carrying case with a clip on it in case you have to take it with you but don't want to carry it in your hand the entire time. The tool and the case is about 3 inches long & 2 inches thick, with a velcro closing tab. Also, I've recently seen these tools in the store and I was happy to know that I actually got more for my money in purchasing this one from Amazon.Customer Review: Well Designed
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I can't speak for any emergency use of the tool nor a complete use of all of the tools attached (of which there are many), but I can say that this thing is very well designed. It took a while to figure out how to separate the halves (basically, RTFM), but afterwards you see how clever this little contraption is. From the tool lock and knife safety lock to chain pin storage and providing enough of a torque handle, this tool just seems impressive. Basically what I really want to talk about is how much peace of mind this tool gives me on the road. There is so much functionality packed into it that I am really not concerned about running into mechanical issues (barring the serious). I only started biking (beyond childhood biking) recently. I took it out today and the tool proved useful for a quick seat adjustment and attaching/detaching my front wheel.
If you're like me where you just want something "in case," I believe you'll be pretty happy having this in your bag.
Customer Review: Multifunction to the extreme.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've recently gotten into road biking again and wanted a small universal tool to be able to take with me on rides in the event of mechanical problems. This tool has more functions than I will probably ever use, hopefully. I say hopefully in that if I am using some of the tools, I've had a mechanical breakdown and who wants that. :)
The storage pouch that it comes with is perfectly sized to hold the tool tight in place. Added with that the belt clip type setup allowed me to clip it to the underside of my seat bag and not take up space within the bag. I checked to make sure the device stayed in place several times of some rough terrain and it held fine. There is also an option mounting device that will allow you to clip it to the bike as noted in the instruction manual.
The tool is well made and versatile. It's compact design and storage case make it an excellent add-on for any cyclist.
Customer Review: Just Awesome.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Very high quality tool made of solid materials. It's actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be based on the picture here, but that really is a good thing considering the limited amount of storage space there is on my bike. It easily fits in the front and side pouch of my handlebar bag, and would fit with no problems in those small under the seat bags as well.
Every single part of this tool has a function. Unbelievable really. One of the tools that sorta gets overlooked that I personally find very handy is the air release on the tire lever. I have a quick release front tire on my bike that requires me to deflate the tire in order to pass it through the brakes. I always end up searching for a pointy object when I need to do so. The Aliens solves that problem for me.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
