Need a bike toolkit. Recommendations needed
« on: March 02, 2007, 01:37 PM »
I need to get myself a bike toolkit for my Specialized Enduro and OS bmx.  Does one exist which will be useful for both bikes?  Don't want to pay 100s for it but getting fed up trying to find the right spanner etc in Mr Lastic's shed, he's so disorganised. If it's easy to buy the things separate, could someone tell me what I need, tools and sizes etc?   I think we had a similar thread like this not too long ago, so apologies for the repetition.

you need a spanner set, including 8mm, 10mm and 15mm

allen keys - 4, 5 and 6mm

some pipe grips are useful

A blunt tool used to remove bearing cups and sealed bearings without mangling them or the frame  :daumenhoch:

I definitely need one of those to get the 1 piece cranks off which I bought of you I think  :)  What was the full name of those cranks?  Think they're SRs...
