some good quality allen keys are the most important thing. Do not get crap ones.Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?0

Have a look at the kits.
Casstte tool and chain whip would be good to add.
And cone spanners.
Could also put a torque wrench on your Xmas list.0 -
Break your chain now and insert a missing link/power link to aid in cleaning.
Quality allen keys, spare inner tubes and torx keys if you have any bolts that require them (brake rotors)0 -
A decent maintenance book like Zinn's or Park Tools.0
-
have allen keys in garage good quality and also torque wrench. Thinking more for tools on the move if out on bike etc0
-
does your torque wrench go low enough for typical bike torques or is it more car orientated?0

+1 for the low torque wrench.
Getting one that really works down under 10nm is critical for modern bikes.Craig Rogers0 -
right before all the tech stuff where is bes tplace to buy items above i spoke about. More general maintenance and cleaning products0

any shop. on the net or local.
but that is a buying question and there is a forum for that.
have a look in it and you will see lots of questions asking the same thing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
