Recently picked up a used enduro bike.
I want to do some home maintenance.

What should be in my tool kit ?

The park tools etc.. Very expensive and full of tools I may not use.
BB and headset s I have no press so will not require tools like that. Straight to the local bike shop for assistance.

Cheers

    Get a good set of allen keys, I like Bhondus ones. Check your bike for any torx screws and get a decent appropriately sized torx driver.
    Bike specific tools worth buying that should get plenty use:
    Decent cable cutters
    Pedal wrench
    Chain whip and the sprocket tool to get the cassette off
    Maybe a BB wrench

    Anything else just buy as you need it. Sounds obvious but before starting any specific job make sure you've got the right tools to complete it.
    I love horses, best of all the animals. I love horses, they're my friends.

    Nice one ! Il get a look at these.. Also had some advice to check Amazon out. Don't need to go bike shop specific or cycle tool specific for a lot of the tools.
