Basic
Tools The basic, essential kit that will
allow you to maintain pretty much all parts of
your bike excluding the bearings. All you'll need
to keep your gears, brakes and transmission
working smoothly.
Specialist Tools Tools for the
advanced home mechanic. Basically all the tools
you'll need to service the bearings, bottom
bracket, headset, freewheel and true wheels.
Trail Tools Although you probably wont need to use a tool kit
on every ride, it's definitely something that you
should have because at some point it will be the
difference between riding and carrying your bike
home!
Workstands Workstands are great for allowing full
access to all parts of your bike from different
angles, although probably not worthwhile for
anyone who only does light maintenance at home.
Cleaning Stuff
Cleaning your bike is essential if you want the
components to last and having decent cleaning
equipment helps a lot.
