my mavics are allen, my spares are 15mm. i don't need the 13 for my cones but to adjust my 80's dura-ace caliper.
3! tire levers, what rims and tires do you have?
what i like about the multi tool is that it's just 1 thing to find and then put back into the bag when you're finished.
i agree that a multi tool with a 15mm wheel spanner would need to be longer than an alien for example, more like a peanut butter spanner, that said, the surly is not that long.
a socket with a lateral hole through for an 8mm allen would be good.
it's a bit ironic that we ride minimalist bikes but then carry multitools with stuff we don't need and then carry an extra tool to get a wheel off (when running track nuts).
shame no one's done an allen option for use with the hollow axles on formula hubs.
some 1 will do a fixed wheel multi tool and we will all be buying them, it's just a matter of time.
