The Ryder Groove Tool + Chainbreaker is a compact, all-in-one bicycle multi-tool designed for on-trail and roadside repairs.

- Slyder mount compatibility (strap-on frame/seatpost storage system)
- Water- and dust-resistant sealed housing (O-ring design)
- Built-in space for chain links and small spares
