Nobody Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Stripped my bike the other day.Allen KeysScrew driver (Star or philips)BB toolWire cuttersCable Ties I often use the cassette tool and chain-whip. The little tool to remove chain ring bolts has been very handy as was Q20 and a cloth. Cable ties and duct tape are also in the tool box and was given a torque wrench for my BDay which I now use. Foot pump has been a blessing. Of course depending on the bike you may need the shock pump. Just need to get me a bike repair stand.
Flea Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 In my mind, the toolkit is a starter toolkit for people who have not read the Big Blue Book or been on one of JB's courses. I have one and they were open that some of the parts are not robust enough for everyday use by a mechanic, but at least I have a lot of tools that in an emergency I could get to work. My plan was to use this until I did a proper course and over time realise which tools I actually need
Pusher Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Tools are forever-your kids might be using them one day. Buy the best you can afford and you will never regret it.
robmac Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Bought all my tools from JB @ Yellow Saddle.He told me what I needed, picked the right tools and sold them to me at excellent prices. Havent regretted it for a second! oh and the YS tool roll is great too!

Make one..... adjust the top horizontal bar to just wide enough for your pedals to spin while the bike is on the stand. Cheap and cheerfull but I have made a few and I work on my Tandems on them.
