Add your torque wrench to this group of tools and you have everything you need to disassemble and reassemble your bike.

It is important to carry a small torque wrench to fix stem binder bolts and seatpost binder bolts to manufacturers' torque specifications. Syntace and ITM both make smaller versions suitable for travel.
