Keep Pedaling Posted July 9, 2012 Share Schrader to Presta valve for using a garage compressor. Buy 5 and hide them in different places, at least three of which are in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted July 9, 2012 Share You probably only need this X-Tools kit if you are a DIY mechanic :http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=40997 I have one and I have yet to find myself needing , have stripped 3 mtb bikes down to every little piece with it so far. And a masterlink remover if you use Sram powerlinkshttp://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=47439 You may need to buy one or 2 extra tools for your specific bike needs.eBay is a good place for finding those 1 or 2 extra tools you may need.... The X-Tools kit is very decent , has virtually every bike specific tool you will need to strip and assemble a bike . But you would need a few other basic tools that you probably already own or will need to own during your lifetime anyway - such as screwdrivers ; socket sets ; spanners ; Allen/Hex keys etc made by Geodre or what ever decent brand you can afford. Park tools are leagues better but only necessary if you have lots of spare cash or are a bike mechanic by trade. Oh ja magnetic parts tray is without a doubt also required!!http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=12329 Edited July 9, 2012 by Skylark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted July 9, 2012 Share I have the X-tool kit and it works pretty well.I have bought ball head allen key set,4th hand and cable cutters and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted July 9, 2012 Share One thing I do need is a decent/robust tyre pressure gauge , one that can do Presta and Schrader , that's not digital . Weight/size is not a concern but it must be really well made , I haven't found one yet that's under R350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
