My Aldi cycle tool kit came with everything I needed to remove all I have so far.
But will you be OK putting that wheel back on?

They kind of are standard really. The trouble is that not many people have a cassette lockring tool in their toolbox in the first place. Once it's there, it'll get used again and again though.I think the worst bit is all the proprietary tools you need. BB tool, cassette lockring tool. Why can't these just be standard? I don't need different screwdrivers to take a PC apart if it's from Dell or IBM
Nobody does. Working on bikes is like playing with Lego. Everything just slots together.I
Why does everyone seem to big up all cycle repairs ????
Unless the problem is "find the source of the creaking noise/click/squeak"Nobody does. Working on bikes is like playing with Lego. Everything just slots together.
Cycles are mechanically very simple. Problem is some folk have no mechanical ability.
Surely that's a kit for grooming your dog?Well, when a "tool" box and so many different liquids and appliances are needed to just to clean a bike, no wonder some baulk at actual repairs!
I'm beginning to wonder if this is the case...the hardest part is getting the right tools.
Everything I've fettled now seems to be very simple construction on my bike and very easy to work on.

It's really simple Boris, I have self taught my wheel building abilities and haven't built a bad wheel yet. They have all died of worn out braking surface, despite my best efforts I haven't managed to finish one off by unnatural means (and I have really tried)I do not build wheels, so to me that is a dark art and I do 'big it up'. The more people tell me it is simpl, methodical and therapeutic, the more convinced I am that it is really a Jedi dark art that I'll never grasp.
You cowboy! I bet you think all cross head screws are just Posidriv don't you, or maybe Phillips? I bet a lot of the screws in a laptop or PC are in reality JIS, but you just butcher them all with your cheap Posidriv screwdriver don't you!I think the worst bit is all the proprietary tools you need.
