OneUp Announces New Threadless Carrier & V2 EDC Tool
PRESS RELEASE: OneUp
EDC THREADLESS CARRIER ($40 USD, €40.50, £36.50, $52 CAD)
The EDC Threadless Carrier is a new way to hold your V2 EDC Tool. It’s easy to install and lets you carry the full 20 function V2 EDC Tool without threading your steerer. The Carrier replaces your top cap and star nut, securing your headset and stem from the bottom with a 4mm bolt.
And yes, it holds a chain breaker!
Available in 8 colours (Black, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Gold & Oil Slick)
Threading your steerer tube and using the original EDC Top Cap is still the lightest and most cost effective way to run the full EDC Tool. Threading your steerer tube is easy to do with the EDC Tap, it does not void your fork warranty and it's the only way to run the V2 EDC Tool on some Fox 38 forks (Factory and Performance Elite with oval steerers). But, if you don't want to cut threads into your steerer tube and want tools on every ride, Threadless is for you.
V2 EDC TOOL ($59.50 USD, €59, £54, $78 CAD)
The new V2 EDC Tool has an improved chain breaker and spoke keys, it also includes a small secondary storage capsule for tubeless plugs and jabber. We made it easier to remove with a lower friction design. The V2 EDC Tool is compatible with all V1 storage options.
The V2 EDC Tool gives you quick and easy access to all your trailside essentials. It can be stored inside your steerer tube or the EDC Pump. And because it's attached to your bike, you'll never forget your tools again.
20 Functions - Includes a multi tool, tire lever, chain breaker, spoke keys, valve core tool and two sealed storage capsules which can hold a tubeless plug kit and jabber to fix punctures fast.
Easier to use chain breaker with a steel body for increased durability
Stronger steel spoke keys
The V2 EDC Tool now includes two sealed storage capsules, one small and one large. The new small capsule can be used to cover your jabber and preloaded bacon strips, keeping them sticky for longer. It also allows you to use the EDC Tool and tubeless plug kit inside the small 70cc OneUp pump.
Tubeless plug jabber cover
The V2 EDC tool has a new oval shaped carrier which fits inside the oval internal profile steerer tube of the Fox 38 fork. The plastic fork bung that keeps your steerer tube crud free has been updated to fit the 38. Only install the supplied rubber star washer on Fox 38 forks.
The V2 EDC Tool Fits Fox 38's (threaded EDC Top Cap only)

@OneUpComponents: you guys should replace the star nut with something like the Brand X Headlock. Then you could use a longer plastic insert and full length tool with gas without the hassle of threading your steerer. It would also make installation quicker and be a much better solution than the star nut which are a crap solution to pre loading your headset.
So how is it easier? I swap my steerer mounted EDC between bikes in about 2.4 seconds
I may buy a pump in the future, it looks like a great bit of kit and canisters have limitations but I’m not sure you fully understand how the steerer thing works
- 70cc pump with 20oz CO2
- EDC with tire plugs in the steerer using the Threaded or Threadless top cap.
Someone got a flat and they had their own pump- gave them mine (the 100cc)- after 30sec the tire was inflated again and he wanted to buye the pump asap lol
The ESC stuff is one of the best stuff I bought
Now I’m even more confused!
Why do I need to carry a pump?!
But I have a CO2 wrapped in my innertube under my saddle so a pump would be a good addition but I don’t need one
Snl may have it, I loved the look of the stem and am a big oneup fan ever since the 10 speed cassette expander rings but cost was a bit prohibitive for the stem and tool etc. Plus I’d already bought the steerer tap
I also managed to tighten some loose spokes with the space between two of the allen keys. I'm a fan.
I have the preloader and it's finicky as f*ck. Works great once you get it dialed, but even in my conversations with OneUp (I broke a bolt and had some issues... which they were super good about and even set me the tap kit and and extra top caps and parts in case I wanted to switch), they were pretty quick to mention the preloader wasn't for everyone and that I could switch to the threaded version. Sounds like even they didn't use the preloader anymore. I think a lot of people had problems.
They still sell the stem and its great... but I'll bet there is probably a redesign coming soon to a more traditional style (no pocket or bolt hole for the preload system).
just going to leave this here...
I cringed a little when he just pours a half a bottle of sealant in his tire
Or like you said, an empty canister with a CO2 thread underneath! Maybe you can find someone to 3d print something for you.
It's the only reason I haven't fitted mine yet, especially with the creaky CSU issues still a possibility on a new fork.
I've been trying to make my own one of these to fit my 38's, so when I saw the email drop last night I was pretty pleased...until I read those same words, not compatible with Fox 38's...
I have to ask @OneUpComponents though, if I machined the front & back parts of this carrier away, to the same cross-section as the lower void, would it fit??
Is there anyone in the entire PB comment section who has had a warranty claim experience on this issue willing to share?
“If a CSU is received and verified to have upper tube creaking and has a thread cut in its steerer to work with OneUp’s tool FOX will warranty that CSU. If a CSU is received for a steerer issue of any kind and has a thread cut in its steerer FOX will NOT warranty that CSU."
Both Fox and RS were given threaded top caps for internal testing and to our knowledge no lab failures were induced during testing.
Keep thinking outside the box & bringing these great products to market!
I try to carry as little as possible but if I want to use the co2 I basically have to have the pump for the valve. But if I have the pump then why bother carrying the co2 valve adapter?
I wish I could carry the edc tool in the stem with co2 and the valve and then not need anything else. It bugs me that the pump sits off to the side on my down tube.
What a waste of money that was.
First and foremost, both the V1 and V2 share the fundamental flaw that having a CO2 cartridge is worthless without an adapter. Their logic is "just buy our pump, which has an adapter, mount it to your frame." That's nonsensical--if I have a pump, I'm not carrying a CO2 cartridge (or vice versa). If we follow their logic, their "backpack replacement" weighs 320g, which is almost twice the weight of a Blackburn Tradesman (175g) and does nothing well.
Second, they still have no way to store a missing link tool (a separate purchase) together with CO2, so for their vaunted "backpacks are stupid" solution to work, you've got to decide whether which one to stick in your pocket or leave at home. Now we're up to 335g including one pocket.
Third, they still don't realize that giving us one, floppy tire lever is meaningless. Maybe some rim and tire combinations can be handled that way (for clarity, I *do* own the V1 EDC kit), but my experience with Continental and Schwalbe tires and DT Swiss XM421, EX471, EX1501, Roval Traverse, and Duke carbon wheels, I've always needed two excellent levers to mount a tire. So now, you're also carrying two proper levers in your pocket to stab you when you fall, weighing 22-26g for the lightest pair (Continental MTB Tour, TACS Tire Levers, or Park Tool TL-1.2). Total weight is up to 360g.
Fourth, you're going to need a Dynaplug because bacon strips suck. Bacon strips aren't big enough to plug all but the smallest punctures, require scissors to trim, dry out while you're not using them, and make a horrendous mess while you try to peel the package apart. When you get a puncture in the middle of the forest, all you want to do is get rolling, and futzing around with bacon strips for 10 minutes is straight-up miserable. OneUp refuses to thread their module for the standalone threaded Dynaplug insert. So now our pockets are getting full, adding a 15g Dynaplug Racer Carbon. Total system weight is up to 375g.
By comparison, my setup: modified Topeak Mini 9 Pro Carbon, OneUp EDC aluminum levers, Park Tool MT-20 CO2 head and spacer, MilKit valve tool, Dynaplug Racer Carbon, and Continental Tire MTB Tour levers weighs 120.4g. It does the same thing as the EDC kit, and requires the same number of pockets. If I delete the ECD pump from the OneUp EDC kit and add a CO2 adapter (dropping the weight to 222g), my solution is "only" 102g lighter in fairness.
As many people have said on various forums, the market is still wide open for a proper EDC system does all of the above. You've gotta look at these systems and how they scale, because time is coming to an end (at least for XCO) where you can safely fix problems without a torque tool. Most carbon bars and stems have a torque limit of 2-4 Nm, which is too small and delicate for torque by feel. Get that wrong and you'll wind up holding a piece of jagged carbon while you go crashing into the trees. There are a lot of great torque-tube type products entering the market, such as the Topeak Torqbar X and Torq Stick. Replacing my modded Topeak Mini 9 Pro Carbon with a Torqbar X costs me 75g, but entirely breaks the OneUp EDC kit which isn't designed for something that long. Personally, I think the future involves a 3D printed or machined delrin insert into the 30mm crank for the CO2 cartridge plus a torque-tube type insert into the steerer, but we'll see.
Thanks
Length will be the deciding factor.
Thanks,
Ben
That's my only complaint with the V1 tool.
Compatible Steerer Tube Length = 185mm to 265mm
For RockShox Forks = 210mm to 265mm
- Fox 38 w/ oval steerers are compatible with threaded top caps and EDC Lite
- Fox 38 w/o oval steerers are compatible with those as well as the new threadless
Love seeing you in the comments. Lots of good info here! One more question:
I see that the carrier necks down in diameter below the top ~100mm. My straight 1-1/8” steerer old school Lyrik has an increase in wall thickness (reduction in I.D.) at around the same point. Any info on whether or not this will fit certain straight-steerer forks?
Thanks!
