Is a stubby 15mm wrench really too heavy to bring along on a ride?

Well, the one that I have is a bit on the heavy side, a hand me down from my mechanic friend. I think it may be a bit silly carrying it aroudn in a jersey pocket haha.

Depends on the bike... with the '55 Raleigh I just use my bare hands but for the Gran Sport I carry a PDW peanut butter wrench in my kit or a 6 inch adjustable.

This is silly. Tools aren't for fashion. Tools are tools.

Lies, the titanium doesn't weigh nothing, it actually has negative mass; your bike gets lighter the more titanium you have on it.

Carbon fiber works the same way, only moreso.

seriously. Weight isn't really an issue for most wrenches.

Personally, I use a cool little lo-profile ratchet from gear wrench: https://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/xl...m/gearratchet/

The sockets have a pass-thru design that allows for access to long bolts without a deep socket. Pretty lightweight, and a ratchet is more convenient vs wrench imo.
