When it comes to cycling tools it’s always a balance between portability and versatility. Feedback Sports Reflex Fixed Torque Ratchet is the brand’s first ride-ready tool kit that combines the convenience of a ratchet into a portable form factor. With a retail price of $70, the Reflex is a 15 piece kit that includes a durable zippered TPU case, fixed 5 Nm torque extension, 10 S2 bits and a bit organizer. As with other Feedback Sports products, the Reflex is built to last with metal construction and serviceability in mind. The modular design allows the ratchet to be combined with the extension or torque extension as a T-handle and L-handle or all in-line to tackle any job on the road.
Feedback Sports has focused on modularity in order to create a compact and portable tool kit that doesn’t skimp on functionality. It’s a premium priced and feeling kit with knurled handles and a three piece construction that can be used in a variety of ways. The multi-piece design means this is a tool kit you can easily store in a saddle bag or jersey pocket. Feedback Sports even includes a nice zippered TPU case which keeps all the tools organized and protected from scratches. It’s only 3 x 4 x 1” in dimension which is quite small and looks great with a Feedback Sports logo on the exterior and wrap-around zipper. The case also feels rigid which helps hold the tools in place even includes a belt hook on the rear. Inside the case are two mesh pockets which keep everything organized and have additional space for small items.
The main component of the kit is the ratchet handle which has a 6 degree engagement angle for working in tight spaces. It is a reversible ratchet with attachment points on either side and the ratchet. Details like the knurled handle and tight ratcheting mechanism give the tool a high-end feel and precision. A metal knob on the ratchet allows the direction to be reversed to loosen or tighten bolts with the full length of the ratchet only 3” long. There is an additional 25mm (1”) extender bit with a knurled edge that can be inserted on either end or in the ratchet. The last piece is the 5 Nm fixed torque extender which ensures you won’t overtighten any sensitive components on a bike.
