to change the formula hubs to allens would mean changing or cutting down and threading the axles unless there is conversion kit i've not see. i use the mavics (allen) mostly but i've got to sort something out for my spares and my girlfriends wheels which are all formula hubs she's carrying a DA pedal spanner presently.
i got a really cool pouch for tools, tubes and co2 pump:) just want to make it as light as poss.
the da caliper is actually a rear, since i put the front on girlfriends fuji, so the extended allen nut(?) on the back of the fork engages about 3mm of thread and goes out of adjustment easily (but it's not that serious).
still like the idea of purpose designed fixed multi tool. what does the leathermen do for you? never saw the need myself.
phil woods and goldtec are allen i know, just looked at the soma site they seem to be 15mm track nuts.
couldn't find a reference to soma phils.
