Ritchey Torque Key and Birzman Tape Measure in Vital Gear Club Box #8

For many of us, the riding season is beginning and the dirt is getting really good. Gear Club Box #8 included some new tools to get your bike dialed in for a summer of shredding.  Maybe you got some new bits this winter or just finished up a fresh overhaul. Either way, you’re going to want to get everything tightened correctly while avoiding the dreaded hamfist, so we included a 5nm Torque Key from Ritchey.

To go along with proper torque are proper measurements. Make sure your seat height and cockpit reach is right where you like it, or take some notes and experiment a bit. A few millimeters can make a huge difference in ride quality, so we also included a Birzman Tape Measure. It's the perfect size to keep with your bike tools and won’t get “lost” when your buddy needs to borrow your full-size tape measure for his latest DIY project. Plus, this one has easy-to-read metric measurements in addition to imperial so you can nerd out globally.
