Product Information
Full details
The Trek Pro BITS 18 Function Multi-Tool is designed for cyclists who prioritize preparedness and portability, offering a comprehensive suite of repair capabilities for both road and mountain bikes. It provides a significant advantage for trailside and roadside repairs by packing extensive functionality—from chain maintenance to tubeless tyre management—into a compact, anodized aluminium chassis. While its feature density is impressive, users should note that certain specialized parts, like quick-links, are sold separately and must be acquired independently to fully utilize the integrated storage space.

FAQs
Does this tool come with a quick-link?
No, the internal storage compartment is compatible with quick-links, but they are sold separately.
Can this be used on tubeless setups?
Yes, it includes a tubeless tyre reamer, storage for plugs, a valve core removal tool, and a valve extender wrench.
What materials are used for the tools?
The tools are made from high-precision, laser-cut steel.
Are the spoke wrenches compatible with all wheels?
The tool includes size 0, 1, and 2 spoke wrenches, which cover most standard spoke nipple sizes.
Is the body of the tool weather-resistant?
Yes, it is housed in a durable, anodized aluminium body which resists corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels stiff to open
Apply a small amount of light bicycle lubricant to the pivot points and work the tool open and closed several times.
Difficulty inserting tyre plug
Ensure the tyre reamer has been used first to clear debris from the puncture site, and ensure the plug is centered properly in the tool.
Fastener slipping
Check that you are using the correct size hex key; excessive wear on the bolt head or the tool may cause slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your tool in top condition, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after use, especially if it has been exposed to mud or salt spray on the trail. While the steel is durable, a light coating of machine oil can prevent corrosion over time.
For storage, ensure the internal compartment is properly sealed to keep the tyre plugs clean. This tool is compatible with most standard bicycle components, including modern disc brake bikes requiring T25 Torx and tubeless valve systems. Always verify the bolt size on your bicycle before applying significant torque to prevent stripping the fasteners.
