A Few Essential Bicycle Tools Let You Do Miner Repairs With Ease
A few simple bicycle tools can help you do routine maintainance and minor repairs. You don't need a lot of tools starting out but you will want to, at least, be able to replace a tube if you get a flat tire, and make minor adjustments to your brakes.
As a minimum you should have a few allen wrenches, phillips head and flat head screwdrivers, a few tire levers, and a cutting blade. You need the tire levers to remove and install the tire on the rim.
There are some, really clever combination tools included in a very compact, light-weight, multi tool kit as shown hers. This tool even includes a led flashlight.
The good news is that they only weigh only a few ounces so it's not like lugging a tool box with you.
