Wolf Tooth Components

The only negative is the price, seems a bit expensive for a piece of steel and a few bolts...but, without it, you can't customize your bike storage, so in some cases, it's necessary to have, as it was for me. In my case I was using a tall Nalgene 48-ounce bottle which when mounted to my fork would not allow the bottles to pass under the down tube as I turned the fork in one direction or the other, so by putting on the B-Rad it allowed me to be able to bring the bottles lower down on the fork and now the bottles clear the down tube.

B-Rad stands for Bottle Relocation and Accessory Device, it means what it says.

That's just one use for them, there are many other ways to use them. While I bought the shortest version of the three. With planning you could use one of these to hold two bottles instead of just one the bike was built for, or one larger bottle.

As the B-Rad stands for it can also hold accessories, and Wolf Tooth sells optional straps to make it work in that regard. With the straps you can hold a dry sack with a sleeping back stuffed into it for one example, lots of variations can be thought of with this mounting base, as long as the strap can fit around something it can be held.

I had to get one of these for my bike tool kit...just in case someone on the road or trail needed a hand.

These are indeed a great addition to my MTB saddle bag kit. Had an opportunity to use them on the trail a while back helping another rider with a broken derailleur housing pull their chain so they could limp back to the trailhead. These pliers were quick on the job and worked as expected. WolfTooth stuff in general is well thought out and great quality. These chain pliers are no exception- the fit and finish as well as other functionality on the tool are a great example.

I disagree with some reviews that it is hard to grip, I found it to release the plates with a minimal amount of pressure.
