Our review

We’re big fans of its simplicity and functionality as well as its robust build

At 101g this is a very light tool thanks to its aluminium side plates and forged stainless steel bits. These include durable Allen keys ranging from 2mm to 8mm, T25 and T30 Torx keys, a Phillips screwdriver and chaintool.

It’s slim enough to sit in your pocket and just about long enough to get a good amount of torque down. The tab on the chaintool could do with a textured finish to improve grip though, and we’d opt for the V5 version over the SV10 because it’s nearly a tenner cheaper.

Technical editor-in-chief

Technical editor-in-chief, Rob Weaver, manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelancer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in the discipline of downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in Sports Technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. It helps that he’s more passionate about riding than ever and will spend much of his free time consuming just about every bike-related publication he can get his hands on. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
