I'm with you on that, and personally I don carry a spare cassette when I'm riding.
I was just asking @Steve Vai what is a tool free hub body as he was implying that the tool is no longer needed with one of those.

I don't think the hub on my gravel bike pops off like that. Maybe it does, I'll have to try it.

Someone went over that. The new hubs, by new l mean a Decade, no longer thread together. Or I should say very few do.

But that tool is for the cassette, not the hub. No?
Yes. But if the purpose is to remove the cassette to access a broken spoke, on newer hubs you can just pull the hub/cassette assembly off and achieve the same purpose.

I think what Jim.. or Steve.. is saying is the hub can be removed from the wheel without tools. The tool is used to separate the cassette from the hub not the hub from the wheel. So if I understand it correctly you can pull the cassette/hub assembly together from the wheel by hand.
Correct. Then, when doing this on the trail, you can dig the pawls and springs out of the dirt where they will likely end up.

Assuming you forgo the pulling off the hub, wouldn’t it be more practical to carry a small pair of snips to just clip the spoke off and then be on your way? That way it wouldn’t be a single purpose tool.

What you're suggesting then is using the tool would be better. LOL. OK, we're all having fun with this I guess. It takes up barely and space in my pack so it'll just be another tool I'm bringing that I hope will never need to use.
Picked up Feedback Sports Bike repair stand from REI https://www.rei.com/product/749596/feedback-sports-ultralight-repair-stand
They gave me extra 10% since I picked up the one that was on display. They have other floor repair stand at the Princeton store.

Good luck with the resale, I made that agreement too. In the end I recovered about 75% of what I claimed I would lol
The only thing that keeps me from buying/selling currently is going through the bike selling process right now. It's brutal.
That's a hell of a price for a carbon frame though.
Yes it is. But you have to expect a new version to come out in a few months. And then all of a sudden you want the newer one…. 🙂

2025 problems 😆
Yeah I'm eyeing the new version up when I replace my 5010. I like the option of going to Mullet to 29er and back depending on my mood.
It's a little beefy but who cares for a trail bike.
