Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Crank Brothers Multi 20, keep the tool clean and dry after riding in wet conditions to prevent oxidation. While the steel is durable, a light application of bicycle chain lubricant on the hinge points annually can maintain smooth deployment.
Regarding compatibility, the included chain tool works across the spectrum from 8-speed to 12-speed systems. Ensure that you have the correct tire plugs for your specific tubeless setup, as the tool is designed to house standard-sized strips. When using the disc rotor straightener, apply gentle, steady pressure to avoid damaging the rotor or causing it to warp further.
