Maintenance tools - recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hi fellow hubbers..

 

Am looking for some advice on purchasing maintenance tools.

 

I can do some basic repairs on my bikes, but recently decided to learn how to do more repairs & servicing on my own bikes.

 

I purchased a bike maintenance work stand last week, so now looking at some essential tools that I would need to get started.

 

I have some basic tools, but thought I'd build up kit, but without breaking the bank :-)

 

I've been looking at this option for a starter kit below.

Would you guys go for this one, & if so, what other essential tools would I need.

I would think a torque wrench kit, but not 100% sure on what to go for as they are rather costly, & also not sure what NM I would need to go for, the Ryder torque wrench are R220 for a 5nm or 6nm. (so was thinking of getting both)

 

Do most bikes use 5nm or 6nm...what would be the highest nm one would need in a torque wrench.

I was looking at this torque wrench as well @ R899 up to 22nm, but not sure if I would need it.

Please let me know what you guys think, would appreciate your advice to get my little home workshop started.

Also any other tips or tools I would need as essentials.

 

Thanks in advance,
