With rear ends getting wider, the chances of bashing the outside of your bike becomes more frequent. I hit my rear axle lever a few times last year. Probably user error, but if I can tuck the end of that in an extra 20mm or so then its worth carrying a tool. Plus, bolt on axles aren’t an issue in dirtbiking, so why are we so different? They get flats as much as we do.
