Multitool for 2020 Domane?
Just started riding my new Domane and I'm loving it. But the new flat kit compartment doesn't actually come with any tools (come on Trek, just include them!). In any case, I'm wondering if anyone know what multitool will fit in the slot that is in the compartment. Bontrager has two. If someone know let me know otherwise I will find out and let you know.
I have to say I am really loving the new Domane. I got out on some gravel roads today and it is unbelievably smooth. Highly recommend it!

I opted for a Red Zeppelin CO2 valve instead of the recommended Bontrager one and it fits perfectly in the BITS bag. My Domane is now all set with it integrated flat kit. No more seat bag!

For that small space, consider just jamming the tube up the downtube instead of in the folding thing. I've had these tools and they were all very small -

One is a mini ratchet, one is a Tq wrench, and the last is a small toolset. I toss the carrying case, and they are all tiny.

I have a 2017 Domane SL6 and have been loving it. When I saw the 2020 ones come out, that storage compartment in the down tube made me wish I'd waited a few years! I don't like carrying things on my back, so when I went from a touring bike with rear rack trunk to the Domane with just a saddle bag, I lost the ability to easily carry a decent lock and more food for longer rides.
But I added a small top tube bag for that, just not as cool as stashing the tire repair stuff in the tube!

I have had my 2020 Domane for about 3 weeks--it is really amazing (it repalced a 2013 Trek Madone 2.1). What the reviews say is true--it REALLY dampens the vibrations (I live in Flanders region in Belgium where we have rough roads and lots of very cobbly cobblestones and pavé). It's not just marketing hype.
What was really interesting is that on my first ride I took the Domane out on a 23 mile time trial route that I use. I felt like I was going soooo slow. In the end, though, it was my fastest time ever. I think that becasue the ride was so smooth (due to the IsoSpeed and the 32mm (!!) stock tires, that it didn't feel fast. We associate jarring and vibrations with speed. Well, no more!!

Hey fellow Domane rider! I too have the 2020 SL5 and absolutely love it! I'll have to check and see if you posted a pic of it in the sticky thread. Anyway, I went on the Trek website and ordered the multitool from there and it was delivered after a week or so (Amazon has spoiled me with delivery wait times). Anyway, it fits great.
The tool itself is pretty small, but does fit perfectly.
