These days, the Wera Zyklop Pocket ratchet is my go-to tool for any kind of bicycle-related maintenance. It is easily small enough to fit in my hip pack and I carry it everywhere I ride. Get a few additonal bits to fit the particular requirements of your bike and you’ve got a fantastic tool that, because of its ergonomic properties, represents a significant step up on any of the traditional multi-tools.
With regards to Tomas.

“As bikepacking becomes ever more popular, it seems that there’s ever more people trying to tempt the unwary to venture away from the trail centre or off the sofa and into the hills. The words and images used, make it a tempting prospect but you must exercise caution, as these words and pictures are often gilded with half truths and exaggeration, making them a trap for the unwary and ill-prepared.” Bearbonesnorm attempts to redress the balance.
