All the trailside tools you need, always on your bike and instantly accessible.Given the choice, we’d always prefer to ride without a backpack. But no one wants to be
that guy who needs to borrow tools or be left walking home while your friends enjoy the rest of the ride. We wanted a solution that would allow us to carry the tools that we need for every ride, without wearing a backpack.
EDC stores your essential trail tools inside your steerer tube, right at your fingertips. Whether you're going out for a quick lunch ride or setting off on a longer adventure, EDC has the tools you need to fix almost any trailside mechanical.

EDC Equipped Pump The EDC tool can also be stored inside one of our new high volume CNC Aluminum Pumps with bottle cage mount. Grabbing your tool from the pump is as easy as reaching for your bottle.
Most small backpacks weigh around 1.5lbs (680g) completely empty. The 70cc EDC Pump and Tool weigh less than 0.5lbs (224g) all in.
EDC Pump Specs • Two Sizes: High Volume 100cc—246mm length and Compact 70cc—195mm length (shorter than a regular 22oz water bottle)
• 100cc Pump holds EDC Tool and a 20g CO2 or EDC Tool and the Storage Capsule

• Fast-On Head (Presta only)—No threads or locking levers
• Integrated CO2 Inflator Head
• Fully Sealed, Weatherproofed Internals

Pump Volume A mini-pump might look appealing, but with typical volumes of 30–60cc it will take hundreds of strokes to inflate a new tube and has absolutely no chance of reinflating a tubeless setup. When you get a flat, you want to fix it as fast as possible. At 100cc and 160g our high volume pump has the highest volume to weight ratio on the market.
Fast-On Head Firmly push the pump head onto the Presta valve until it bottoms out, then pump. With our fast-on head, the valve stem is securely supported so there's no chance of bending, breaking or unseating the valve and no chance of unscrewing your valve core when you remove the pump.

Steerer Instalation Instructions To install the EDC tool in your steerer: Remove your old star-nut and tap the top of your steerer tube. This might sound daunting, but we've made it easy to do on your bike, without even removing your fork.
Installation Steps 1. Remove your bar and stem
2. Use the OneUp star-nut puller to remove your old star nut
3. Using the self-aligning steerer tap kit, tap a thread into your steerer until the tap bottoms out
4. Reassemble your Bar and Stem on your newly threaded steerer
5. Fine tune your headset spacer setup with the supplied spacers
6. Screw in the EDC Top Cap and then tighten using the EDC Multitool, or a standard cassette tool to preload your headset bearings
7. The plastic EDC steerer plug pushes into the bottom of your steerer tube
8. Then simply drop the EDC Tool into your hollow top cap
• The EDC Cap Kit includes the world’s lightest headset top cap (4.2g), and an EDC steerer plug with drain hole, which keeps crud out of your steerer and prevents the EDC tool from rattling.

Atleast it's a cool stash-spot for my bud & bowl.
Say if you're selling the forks or whatever.
I'm an early adopter, mine is already installed. When the star nut pulled out of the steerer it scuffed up the sides a bit as expected, but the tap cut threads without any sort of issue. The threads are very shallow, in my professional opinion the integrity of the aluminum is not compromised.
I understand why they require you to keep 1cm of spacers on top of the stem. This is probably because this way you're not really exerting too much clamping force on the threaded (upper) section of the steerer. But I view this as a downside of the system. If you usually leave spacers on top of the steerer, it is because you either aren't quite sure about your stem height yet and want to be able to experiment, but it could also be because you want to be able to change stem height for different courses. In the latter case, always having to leave 1cm of spacers on top may get annoying especially when you place the stem in the lowest position and you're left with an excessively tall portion of steerer extending above the stem.
Didn't Cannondale have this concept for their Lefty forks as well? Of course they must have had it easier as they have a larger diameter steerer to play with. And maybe the dual crown helps as well.
Personally I'd never want to do this to my forks just to carry some tools. I'd rather get the version that attaches to the bottle mounts of your frame. Even if your frame doesn't accept bottles inside the main triangle, it may still have mounts under the downtube where you'd never want to have your bottle.
get big 10mm or so drill bit, drill the top until the top star becomes loose. bend it sideways an pull it out, repeat for the bottom part.
you could knock it out but, I hate the damage caused to alloy steerers by star nuts
star nuts are made from the devils toe nail clippings :/
bmx have used internally threaded for years, mtb needs to catch up!
Perhaps a BMX topcap would also work for you.
They also have threaded steerers. I don't know if that could work on a mtb fork, but maybe...
they're barbaric!
I got Hope head docs an all my bikes but, you gotta be careful with them, they have been known to distort steerer tubes if you over tighten them
the threaded steerer makes so much sense
I used to think saddle bags looked dumb, especially with droppers.
Then I started taping tubes/tools/pumps to my frame and realized that it looked even more dumb.
When these expensive ninja tool options came out, I looked at my six bikes and did some maths... too expensive to outfit each bike with a ninja steerer / crank spindle / bar end tool kit.
So now I rock the Lezyne Micro Caddy S saddle bag that's about the size of a beer can. Fits a tube, CO2/inflator, and combo multi-tool tire lever chain breaker. Plays well with a dropper (doesn't even touch the stanchion) and still has tons of tire clearance. Swaps between bikes in 15 seconds. You may think my saddle bag looks dumb... but I think your $$$ ninja tool and tube taped to your frame are dumb, not to mention your fanny pack.
My CO2 inflater valve is about the size of a quarter, it is folded up in the center of my spare tube and tightened with a few zip ties. Easy Peasy.
So if the fork has a warranty issue just trim off the threaded part. Most star nuts gouge out more material than cutting threads.
Install is easy, tools are fantastic quality. Price is reasonable for the quality and peace of mind you get.
I've been using SWAT chain tool and EMT cage before and I like EDC better.
The only complaint is that one chain link half can rattle a bit. I fixed it by putting a thin strap (2mm wide) of electrical tape under the link contact point. It's thin enough not to cause any clearance issues and creates enough tension and padding to stop link from rattling.
Thanks OneUp, yet another wonderful product, I'm a fan! I also use your bash guard and oval ring and really happy with the parts so far. Easy to install, well made, works great and price is just right.
1. What is the minimum length of steerer tube that this system will work with?
2. I am guessing that there are no plans for a 1.5" version for us Lefty guys?
No steerer tube mods and it can be used on all your different bikes.
Patent pending
It is a great design and puts the weight in a fairly neutral position.
The ones that go in bar ends and hollow cranks are dumb

The rides where I won't carry a first aid kit are not the rides where I'm likely to get that wrecked.
And yet many XC riders/racers are the very ones who most often don't want to wear a pack to carry such basic tools.
