Affordable and Complete Bicycle Tool Kit, Review of the Cyclists Kit from Amazon 

Hows it holdin up?

Thanks for the kind feedback 👍

Mine is holding up great. It’s really been a good tool set.

@TonyHob mine as well. I have added a few more slightly better quality tools to my collection. I have a couple of Park Tools( chain breaker and wear gauge) if they were reasonably priced but Ice tools are good also. I buy tools for function and overall finished quality. I'm no Park Tool only snob. lol Brand doesn't matter if there is a cheaper option that works better.

Awesome, hope it meets your needs!

I think there's a couple of different ones in my how to playlist. It's rather straight forward. The only thing you have to be careful with is that the drive side is reverse thread and how the spacers go if you are using DUB or hollowtech II ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0AumVNKwUOQ.html

That's one way to put it, LOL!

@@TonyHob hey Tony, I'm thinking about buying this kit. Have you found anything better yet. I'm using it for a 2022 Schwinn Boundary 29er

@@nogoogle6349 this is a very complete set, there’s another set on Amazon that is basically the same but rebranded and cheaper. I believe I put the link in the description.

The price fluctuates quite a bit. I've gotten into the habit of adding things to my wish list and waiting for lower prices, LOL

They are working well and I use them regularly. No new hacks yet 😂

Check out my other videos like the one I have on how to use a torque wrench

Cable cutters is what I can think of. If you have a SRAM DUB BB the tool is different too

Good idea though there are a lot of videos out there on the subject. A newer video is not a bad idea though. Most of those videos are rather old.

Thanks!

I cover some BB info and have some how-to's on removing and replacing them. Check out my playlist and see what you think. Thanks for the feedback. ru-vid.com/group/PLX6zWX0qiG-CocKt99Ely1o83MPO8lv1b

Check out my playlist on bike maintenance and repair. Most tools are used there. Showing how to use each tool would make an hour long video

At 3:40 you can see hoe to change it from external bearing to tapered square applications and the use is the same as the Park tool in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Xy6Pv12ez4.html

@@TonyHob Bro, Ok Thank you.

You probably don’t need a kit like this for BMX. You are better off buying the individual tools that are a more specialized towards BMX

The B twin looks legit! seems good but I don't have one to say for sure. It would be a looooooooong video if I use every one. I have used it and it is really good. Not as nice as my Park tools but for the price it is a good buy.

Have not tried Unior. Park Tools are hard to beat. Some of my Park’s are over 20 years old. I think Pedros might compete with them.

To be honest the older cheaper bikes do not need most of the specialized tools in the kit. Basic mechanic tools will do.

@@TonyHob still need a square bb remover , cassette ?

@@sdqsdq6274 this kit works with sealed square BB, it also has a cassette remover

It’s still working great! This seems to be the same kit with a couple of extras and at a lower price amzn.to/3uZEeRi

@@TonyHob DO YOU RECOMMEND THIS?

There’s several different ones out there but they tend to cost more than a new crankset. Heres a good article from Park Tool www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/pedal-bushing-repair-kit-procedure

@@TonyHob yes I saw that article. It is quite costly. I thought you have other Taiwan or Chinese Heli Coil lol. Thank you for your reply.

As long as you are using all modern parts all you would really need in addition is a cable cutter and maybe a torque wrench. Also, if you are installing a SRAM DUB BB you will need that specific tool. Otherwise it’s a very complete kit.

Does a 1995 Cannondale R400 with a Shimano RX100 crankset count as modern? 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the quick reply

@@coldcrush1 I believe that one has a SEALED square tapered bottom bracket so this kit will have the BB tool for it. Make sure you take the cap off the end of the crank puller for square tapered

Most pf the tools in this kit are bike specific. I have a LOT of automotive tools and still find this kit very useful.

yes, that's what I use it for. I use it in several of my how-to videos. I sold my road bike years ago LOL

@@TonyHob cool just found your page...Will check it out!!!

Great question, they are plastic covered metal with the meta exposed at the wide end and plastic covered at the narrow end

Tony's Hobbies interesting. That’s what they looked like. I’ll be buying this set anyhow. Thank u fir yiur time and research !! And replies. Love your vids

@@donotrobme9295 i use flat tip screwdrivers as tire levers🤷🏻‍♂️

2:45

@@TonyHob thanks. Great video just ordered a kit.

@@TonyHob how are the tools preforming after 7 months? Any problems with them?

They are working well. None have failed so far 👍

If you bought them at a bike shop they should tune it for free. If not check out my video on how to adjust the derailleur. Another thing is to make sure the cable housings are properly seated in their stops and that the derailleur hanger is straight.

Tony's Hobbies thank u!!!!!!

Mine is holding up great 👍

BB30 is press fit, same as asking “no headset cup installation tool?”, you need a press set which are always sold separately

Freewheel removal tools are brand and type specific so you have to look up the right one for your particular freewheel. Having a random model in the kit wouldn’t help.

Did you watch the video? Just curious because at 2:00 I show a Park Tool chainlink tool and compare it to the one in the kit. I later show a Park BB tool and also compare it to the one in the kit at 6:00 I have, and use, Park tools that I bought over 20 years ago. If you watch some of my other videos you would see plenty of them. Some videos where you can see some of my other Park Tools are linked below. The first link is actually a video where I review another budget kit and compare some of those tools directly to the Park Tool equivalent also. I really think you will enjoy that one because I do exactly what you are suggesting in that video too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pN37BBZCYWU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qk8Ks9AO164.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xMpnsyxSlX0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KflvjwnG_5s.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Xy6Pv12ez4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0KXv9CtoBcE.html Thanks for watching. Let me know if that makes you feel a little more confident about my tool review

Really? I mention the price in the first 9 seconds of the video AND there is a link to it in the description AND it's pinned in the comments. For F's sake! LOL!! (it's cheaper now than when I made the video too!) Well it WAS in the pinned comment. I pinned yours instead so people can get a laugh...

I totally agree 👍

They are different companies but the tool quality is about the same.
