2020 has been the year multi-tools have started adding tubeless puncture sealing skills to their resume and Topeak has just launched its Tubi 11 and Tubi 18 tools. They’re a typically high-quality set of tools from the German brand but you’ll still need to pocket an 8mm Allen key and a chain splitter if you want full trailside repair capability.

The conventional tool roster includes 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6mm Allen keys, T10/T25 Torx wrenches and a Philips screwdriver, all made from stainless steel to combat rusting and they are all really accurately sized for clean, secure connections.

Unlike a lot of tubeless tools, the fork is actually big enough to slide the rubber plugs into, but not so tight they pull straight back out again and not so big it tears a gaping hole in more fragile tyres. The collar to help stop it punching too far through and damaging the rim tape or other side of the tyre is a neat touch too, although a bit of a faff to unclip and mount onto the tool. Both plug fork and cutting blade also automatically lock into place when extended to save nasty accidents.
