Do you carry a 2.5mm allen key?

A point to note for Levo owners. The front wheel through axle has a qr lever which has to be set at the right tension to secure the front wheel in the fork. If/when that lever no longer function ss it should it needs adjustment and that is done by using an allen key in the centre of the axle and adding 1 or 2 clicks by turning clockwise. BUT the allen key size is 2.5mm and is not part of the multi tool. So just a heads up here to make sure you carry one because removing the front wheel for a puncture repair and then not being able to properly secure the front wheel is not a nice way to ruin a ride.....or if like me you remove the wheel for transportation and you cannot secure the front wheel, the ride cannot even start!

No Levo but i carry my regular multitool in my lumbar pack quite similar to the one mentioned with 3 small ones so 1 will fit. The brand is Filzer, not the smallest but not the heaviest either.

I've taped a 2.5 Allen key onto the shaft of the Chain Tool, which is part of the SWAT attachment in the head tube.

I carry a BBB multitool with a 2.5 on it. The SWAT one on the bottom of the bottle cage is a PITA to get out (and often dirty).

I hate QRs, first thing I usually do with my bikes when I get them is throw those away and fit solid axles such as Wolftooth or Carbon-Ti, I like the strength and rigidity plus the bling colours they come too.
