Product Information
Full details
The Pedros Trixie Multi-Tool is designed specifically for urban fixed-gear cyclists and daily commuters who require a reliable, professional-grade solution for roadside adjustments. Its primary benefit is providing high-leverage utility through a robust, heat-treated steel frame that combines eight essential functions into one portable device; however, its size and weight may be less ideal for weight-conscious racers or those seeking a minimalist pocket tool.

FAQs
Does this tool include a chain breaker?
No, the Pedros Trixie is optimized for fixed-gear specific tasks and does not include a chain breaker.
Can I mount this tool if I do not have a water bottle cage?
Yes, as long as your frame has standard water bottle cage braze-on bosses, you can mount the tool directly to the frame even without a cage.
Is the 15mm wrench compatible with standard rear axle nuts?
Yes, the 15mm box end is specifically sized for the standard axle nuts found on most track-style and fixed-gear hubs.
What is the material of the tool?
The Trixie is constructed from 5mm thick, heat-treated tool steel for maximum strength.
How long is the tool?
The tool measures 187mm in length, providing excellent leverage.
Are the wing bolts included?
Yes, the tool comes with the necessary wing bolts to attach it to your frame.
Troubleshooting
Tool rattles against the frame while riding
Check that the wing bolts are fully tightened and ensure the tool is flush against the frame or the back of the bottle cage.
Difficulty reaching a specific bolt on the bike
The Trixie is a fixed-length tool; if the frame geometry prevents access, use the hex bits at a slight angle or check if an extension is needed for deep-set components.
Surface rust appearing on the tool
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and apply a thin layer of machine oil or bike lube to protect the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Trixie, simply align the tool's mounting slots with your bicycle's water bottle cage braze-ons. Place your bottle cage over the tool and secure both to the frame using the provided wing bolts. Ensure the bolts are tightened firmly to prevent rattling during transit.
Compatibility is primarily targeted at fixed-gear and single-speed bicycles that utilize standard 15mm axle nuts and common hex sizes. While the steel is heat-treated to resist rust, it is best practice to wipe the tool down with a dry cloth after riding in wet or salty conditions to maintain the finish. If the tool is exposed to heavy rain, a light coating of bicycle chain lubricant on the steel surface can provide an extra barrier against surface corrosion.
