Birthday coming up ... suggestions

musto_skiff

... and my family have asked what I want so I thought I'd get some bike bits and was after a few suggestions. (BTW I have Lemond Zurich bike; I have a computer & HRM)

Co2 .... which one and what capacitysize?

Multi tool ... recommendations?

What tools is it worth getting; I guess I will need a chain tool soon; what one would I need for an Ultegra 10sp chain?

Also - what tools do I need to change the block?

Books - probably need a "how to" book on bike maintainance

All suggestions welcome ....

Book - Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance.

To change the cassette, you need a lock ring tool and chain whip.

Multi-tool - all are probably as good each other, take your pick.

Chain Tool - don't get an uber cheap one, a park one perhaps

CO2 Pump thing = 16g Threaded normally, again I can't recommend a specific one - I got one from decathlon, any but the uber cheap will probably be fine.

posh bottle cages - something carbon-y

you'd (probably) never buy them yourself, but you just know that they add a certain something when they are there!!!

Nah ... crews are too much trouble & the Musto is way more fun than a 49er ...
