At the Sea Otter Classic, Abbey Bike Tools founder Jason Quade highlighted new products aimed at professional mechanics. The company aims to produce durable shop-specific tools, like the Shop Whip-It and Shop Crombie, instead of lightweight, exotic options. These tools feature enhanced durability through design improvements and material choices, such as reinforced heads and compatibility with various drivetrains. Quade also discussed the broader impacts of tariffs affecting even domestically producing companies, emphasizing the ongoing uncertainties in the bike industry.
These aren't the Team Issue tools made with exotic materials. Instead, these are for stationary mechanics who desire ultimate durability over lightweight portability.
The Shop Whip-It has a reinforced head with more material around the chain connection points, only machined down where it has to be.
