GTM V100 Axle Pocket-Socket

Sold out again. Sales are so minimal that I'm not sure if it makes sense to do another run, but for now, I've opened up paid pre-sales. I'll refund you if it I don't proceed. Link below.

Can definitely recommend it for your peace of mind in case of a flat tyre. 👍
 
There is no way in the world, that you are going to remove the rear wheel nut on the side of the road without a proper long breaker bar, let alone, retighten it without a very long, very heavy, torque wrench.
Yes, a few responders seem to suggest this would help them perform repairs on the road but that's not viable given the torque required. It would be handy for tourers to let a local shop use in the event they needed a repair requiring wheel removal.
 
If/when I had a v100 this would be the next thing I bought. I always carry some tools in case of a minor problem; and an air compressor and tire plugs and wrenches to remove my wheels in case a plug does not hold. Nothing ruins a good trip like being sidelined in the middle of nowhere with a flat. Just the peace of mind is worth it.
