Tool tube/box. Recommend me one please.

[Ubique 895]

Howdy,

So down at the freeze rally I saw loads of different tool tubes and boxes, mostly on the inside of pannier racks.

Now, what do you have and why? Where did you get it from and how much money is one likely to cost please?

I've got the suzuki/sw motortech/trax pannier racks, using trax/suzuki boxes.

I've had a quick scan and search and couldn't come up with what I was looking for.

Cheers,

Ben

Commonly know as "Mortar tubes" to those "in the know" :whistle:

Look on Ebay for someone called KitPed - Jason he sells them and cheaper than I could find elsewhere. Going to be used for spare tube / tyre levers / tool kit and possibly a mars bar Just keeps it all neat and tidy... kitped at aol dot com - its Jason.

Does anyone happen to know if anyone makes longer ones? (can't be arsed to make one)

[Tramp]

Don t think so ..they have smaller ones...as they were ment for "tractor manuals" unless its a Sunday edition .

Some make them from down pipes and end caps from teh builders merchants..do whatever lenght you like then.

If its something your thinking of just sitting in your panniers I use a tupperware box with the click lids..also if the panniers aren't on just use the box in a kriega bag..find a square box more use than a round tube

[Bianchi]

yeh a bottle of iron bru fits inside them great for that :laugh:

[snaphappy]

I've still got my tooltube sitting on the bench. Cant decide where to fit it or if I need it

what do want to put in there, I've found loads of room inside the fairings (Varadero 1000) where I have spare levers, tyre repair kit, tyre levers and room for extra tools if needed.

Out of the way, out of scroates view and if I need the stuff an extra ten minutes taking the fairing off wont hurt.
