FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Hexus X Multi Tool?

Its main advantage is the comprehensive 21-in-1 functionality packed into a very compact and lightweight design, making it ideal for carrying on rides.

Is the chain tool compatible with all bicycle chains?

Can the plastic tire levers damage my rims?

The levers are made of engineering-grade plastic designed to be rim-friendly. However, as with any tire lever, care should be taken to avoid excessive force that could scratch or damage softer rim materials.

What types of Allen keys are included?

It includes 2, 2.5, 3, 4 (x2), 5, 6, and 8 mm Allen keys.

Does it include a tool for Presta valves?

Yes, it includes a Presta valve core tool and also an air release button.

How heavy is the Hexus X Multi Tool?

The tool weighs approximately 170g.

What are the dimensions of the tool when folded?

When folded, the tool measures 9 x 4 x 2.7 cm.

Troubleshooting

Tool is stiff or difficult to unfold.

Clean any debris from the pivot points. Apply a small amount of bicycle lubricant to the pivot and work the tool back and forth to loosen it.

Chain tool pin is difficult to engage or break chain.

Ensure the chain is properly seated in the chain tool guides. Make sure the pin aligns perfectly with the chain pin before turning the handle. Check for any bent links or debris obstructing the chain.

Tire lever breaks during use.

Ensure the tire is sufficiently deflated before attempting removal. Use the levers carefully, leveraging against the rim without excessive force. If a lever breaks, use the spare included or consider a metal lever for very stubborn tires.

Corrosion on steel tools.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild degreaser. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil (like WD-40 or a bicycle-specific lube) to prevent further rust.
