Hello from France ! Another very good video as always ! Parkside and similar brands are perfect for small and short job because of the the unbeatable price of their tools ! This promotes repair by individuals that is very important nowadays for ethical and ecological raisons ! It should be noted that their customer service works well in case of problems. Otherwise, for a more professional work, the Parkside Performance line is a good choice !

Also, beinging higher up helps you with stability. For stronger corners it's still a good idea to set the pedals level or similar. If you don't have a step theough, you have to be careful not to kick your stuff or passenger in the head

I have had some chains last ‘for ever’ one still there dating from 1980 on a 3x5 Peugeot touring bike. Granted, it does not get manY many miles and it sometimes sits for a few years between uses (travel): every time it’s just ready to use, no rust etc. Love the simplicity. On my mountain bike in California I got tired of oil collecting dust -> gunk. Mostly it does not look good. The whole bike might be clean but then the drive train stands out. I switched to W40: like wax it will only last one ride, but the lubrication is perfect (there’s 10% oil in W40), the bike is smooth and quiet, and it does not get too dirty. It’s also cheap and quick to apply. I buy W40 in liquid by the gallon. Do not use a spray and contaminate your brakes. To test my lubrication, I put my gears in the fastest speed (big-small) and spin hard the cranks backward: it should go about three turns.

Since you have a compressor, air powered impact wrench would be cheaper option and you wouldn't need to think about battery charge, but not as portable. Also for stuck seat post there is a puller tool and a lot of people DIY it.

I got the battery tools for many other tasks (field work too). So, since I've already got batteries and a charger, I just pay for the tool, and enjoy the maximum portability (and no worries about cables or air hoses).

My 3 unexpected tool would be a mini grease gun, tweezers, long t handle allen keys. The grease gun is just so much cleaner then gooping my hand everytime. The tweezers are awesome when placing ball bearings back in, especially 9/16 or 4mm ones. I can easily dunk the balls in a cleaning solution and pluck them out too. I thought the t- handle allen keys would be unneeded since I always made do with the shorter ones, or allen sockets. Once I started using them the 4,5,and 6 are used almost every time I wrench on my bike now. The park one in particular has the nice angled holder with numbered size so it's a quick grab and go. An impact is great on freewheels too if the normal methods aren't working.

Those are some great (hand) tools. An interesting story: A grease gun was my gift to a friend when he started his bike shop, and he's been using it daily ever since (just as I have been using mine). Relja

I use my pedal wrench constantly. I have the park pro, unior, and pedros. All 3 get the job done but my Park pro is my favorite. It makes quick work of getting seized pedals off, properly tightening pedals., and quickly spinning them on. Another unexpected favorite would be a soft ski tuning gummy stone. I use quite often for deburring, and polishing cut edges when I trim seatposts, cut bars, etc... Third would be my DT Swiss spokey pro. I have never rounded a nipple with this, and its perfection.
