is a convenient way to carry a basic tool kit and to keep it organised while you work, but more attachment options would be nice.When you unroll it, you find three pockets in the – one larger and two smaller. The big pocket's large enough for an inner tube or two, while the smaller ones will take a multi-tool, tyre levers and the like.
Props for Prime for not falling into the 'black cat in a coal cellar' trap. The interior is lined with silver-grey fabric so you can actually see your stuff, and the outer fabric is water resistant. There are no zips or other sealed closures, though, so water gets in eventually, although I found it took a couple of hours in wet conditions to get the contents a bit damp. Don't carry sensitive electronics in there and you'll be fine.
The comfortably carried a multi-tool, inner tube, small screwdriver, chain tool, tyre levers, spoke key, patch kit, and a couple of chain quick links. There's room for a CO2 cartridge too.You then close the flap, pull the elasticated band around it and use the outer strap and buckle to attach it to your bike – I found it fit best under the saddle.
To use your tools you take the Tool Roll completely off the bike and fold it out, and this is where a tool roll shines over carrying tools in a seat pack. For a start, everything has a place so it's easy to work in an organised manner. Plus, as long as you've packed it sensibly, the roll keeps your spare tubes away from pointy things like screwdrivers that might damage them. That organising power is worth the price of entry.
It's a pity Wiggle CRC hasn't come up with more mounting options. The strap and buckle design makes hanging it from your saddle rails pretty much compulsory, and you have to take it off to use it. If you could strap it to, say, the seatpost or other frame tube it'd be a more practical proposition.There's been a bit of a resurgence of tool rolls in the last few years thanks to the 'be prepared' philosophy of the gravel scene, and many of them beat the on value .
