Is this a decent toolkit?

Guys,

will this suffice as a decent toolkit to look after all my bikes?

I have Mountain bikes, roadies, and commuters.

    cant comment on the quality but looks like it has most things for the Aheadset bike. if you have the threaded steerers on the roadies and or commuters you will need some big heaset spanners.

    Looks good to me for getting started. Just a word of warning that it won't
    do "everything" that you will ever need to do on a bike. Once you get into working on
    bikes you will always be looking at other tools that you may need. It's kind of an
    ongoing thing.

    Sorry, don't know about this one but I bought the kit below it in the range and the spanners were really cheap & didn't fit hubs or the pedals and I broke the chain splitter the first time round, everything else though, has been fine.

    N.B. The spanners look different with this one so you should be OK.

    Hope it helps

    please note the spanners in the OP kit are just cone spanners. there is a 15mm pedal spanner included which should fit most pedals out there.
