Wrench
Rear through axel
It goes in the rear axle to be able to take the tire off.
Looks like a lever to install/remove thru axles. Generally I would think you would push this into the 6mm head on one of the thru axles, it would fit there snugly, and it would then live there. Is there something like this already installed on one of your axles?
It’s a switch lever, to undo your thru-axle so you can take your wheel off. They can usually stay on the bike or be carried separately. Bontrager and Canyon do them, plus a few other bands and generic versions from aliexpress
This should fit nicely on the end of one of your through axles. You can use it to install/remove them or just keep it in your toolbox.
That is to remove the thru-axle to take your wheel off. It’s designed to fit snugly in the thru-axle and stay there so you have it to change a flat. Being kind of small it’s not as easy to use as a longer hex wrench, but it is very convenient when needed on the road.
As mentioned, it’s for your axle and usually just lives there unless you specifically take it out. Also works great on stem bolts of other similar 4mm hardware. Kinda handy.
Seriously?
These are great, they can live in your rear through axle, but if you need to take your front wheel of, you pop it off and use it as a tool on your front.
Logo is Rossignol.
It’s a spiffy wrench
I had previously never imagined these would come off of thru axles, I always imagined them permanently a part of the thru axle
