Abstract

The present invention provides a bicycle tool storage device mountable in a bicycle headset assembly and/or a bicycle pump. A top cap for loading a headset assembly and mounting the device is also provided. The top cap includes an annular body and a device receiving aperture extending through the body. The top cap includes a flange extending radially outwardly from a first end of the body and a ridge defined in an inner surface of the body adjacent to the flange. The ridge is concentrically aligned with the aperture for retaining the device. Further still, a bicycle pump for mounting the device is provided. The pump includes a pump body, a handle, a pump head, and a flange. The pump body houses a plunger and a piston. The plunger and handle define a cavity for receiving the device. The handle further defines a flange for retaining the device.
