What it actually is
The In-Bar Groovetool system = two parts:
- GrooveTool multitool (chain + tools)
- SlugPlug Dual (tubeless tyre plug injector)
Both are designed to store inside your handlebars, replacing normal bar-end plugs.
⚙️ GrooveTool (main tool)
Build quality
- CNC-machined 7075 aluminium (high-strength alloy)
- Hard anodised finish for corrosion resistance
This is premium-grade material used in high-end cycling components.
Tool functions
Includes:
- Chain breaker (very important for broken chains)
- 2–6 mm Allen keys
- T10 / T15 / T25 Torx (covers modern bike bolts)
- Flat screwdriver bit
- Storage for spare chain links
This basically covers all core roadside mechanical repairs.
Smart design features
- Magnetic retention for bits + chain links
- Can be used in:
- “L” shape (more leverage)
- “I” shape (tight spaces)
Makes it more usable than most flat multitools.
SlugPlug Dual (tubeless repair system)
This is the standout feature.
What it does
- Used to plug tubeless tyre punctures on the trail
- Works like a professional tyre “plug gun”
Key features
- Pre-loaded with:
- 1.5 mm plugs
- 3.5 mm plugs
- Dual needle sizes = different puncture types
- C-clip prevents plugs from sticking or jamming
- Ready to use immediately
This is a fast, clean puncture repair system for MTB/gravel riders.
Real-world use
With this system you can:
- Fix a broken chain on the trail
- Tighten almost any bolt on your bike
- Repair tubeless punctures without removing the tyre
- Carry everything inside your handlebars (no saddle bag needed)
Who it’s for
- MTB riders (trail, enduro, gravel)
- Riders running tubeless tyres
- People who want a minimal, integrated tool setup
- Riders doing long rides far from support
⚖️ Trade-offs
- More expensive than standard multitools
- Slight learning curve (especially SlugPlug system)
- Handlebar compatibility matters (internal diameter must fit tool)
- If you crash hard, tools are stored inside the bar (rare but worth noting)
Bottom line
This is a high-end, integrated bike survival kit:
- Full multitool (including chain breaker)
- Tubeless repair system
- Hidden storage inside handlebars
It’s designed for riders who want a clean setup with maximum self-sufficiency on the trail, especially MTB and gravel cyclists.
