Great thanks. Its been over 20 years since I last got on my bike and my son has suddenly developed an interest in cycling and wants me to help him repair on old bike in the shed for practice. I see a new hobby starting for 2017

old school bikes look much better than their modern equivalent. Put a young man on a old school bike 'and he looks the part.' But when a old guy gets on the new generation bike it looks all wrong... I no because I am old GUY on a modern bike '. Saving up for a proper' one

No way am I going to sit through 2:46 of commercial.

What is the brand and model name of that torque wrench? Thanks.

hello #GCN which Tool Kit iz Best In the world

I'd say a tire lever is pretty high on the basic tool kit list..
-
chain wip?
-
I have 29er hardtail and if i press brakes with 2 fingers when im moving it makes this weird metal sound. i still haven't figured out what is it

Have you ever had a problem with your nipples being too large for your toolbox?
-
Great video! What other specialty tools do you recommend to have a complete bike repair toolkit? And are there specific places to get them as package deals at wholesale prices or do you recommend getting them individually?
-
I might add that needle nose pliers, regular pliers, plumber pliers, and multi purpose screw driver (Philips/flat head) screw driver. What I have been looking for is the torque wrench. My road bike is a carbon fiber, and I really do not want to damage it. Suggestions please?
-
GCN what shop repair stands do you recommend?
-
Great suggestion! Thanks!
-
Could you do a video on advising what take in jersey pocket's/saddle bags etc?
-
Lol, better start saving then, looks like I'll need at least 2 different ones :)
-
You're looking at from 4nm for a seatpost to 40nm for cranks. So it's pretty broad!
-
What torque range would you recommend on a torque wrench for the basic home mechanic?
-
Ditto...spoke key use.
-
Very useful indeed. Many thanks. Now, where did the family hide the Christmas wish list?
-
We might just be looking into that ;)
