JIS #2 screwdriver for Shimano mechs - saves stripping the heads after a few fumbled tweaks. Knipex pliers wrench - the teeny tiny one and the one two sizes up covers most 'wrenching' needs I've ever had. They're awesome on brake hoses too!

@@ridesofjapan Yep, thankfully I haven't got any on mine either (Rival 1) but have to deal with quite a few on mates' bikes. The Knipex aren't cheap but they're the most versatile tools I own. Completely agree about not needing the branded bike tool stuff too, other than specialist stuff like crank pullers.

IMO one of the most underrated maintenance items are the wheel bearings. Most ( none Shimano) wheels contain some combination of 6002, 6802, 6902 sizes, so a simple pressing kit can cover most bases. Upgrading to affordable abec5 bearings can make a noticeble improvement for many low/mid range wheels. Also giving the spoke tentions a once over when the wheel has settled, after initial run in, is a good idea.

Regarding the 7 & 8mm spanner. If you only use it for brake hoses and own a torque wrench, get the Crowfoot Flare Wrench-7 & 8mm. Torquing down brake hoses gives me peace of mind.

2nd job now is bike mechanic with all those tools. Rarely used tools can be a mental challenge with cost but taking your bike to a shop where you need that tool can be nearly as costly as buying it. Some tools I would choose better quality for more important jobs. And my work stand is a cheapy that I bought for a temporary job but has stayed with me for many years. I would like a swish showy pro model but I cannot justify it. Good luck with the build.

2:53 for working on suspension, flat headed sockets are needed, but cone wrenches can be useful for bolt on axles, liek on trails/bike trail bikes, but of course a ratchet can be used instead, but only thing I use the adjustable wrench for is disk truing, or bending rims back. in my opinion big pliers is a must, for getting suck things loose, or clamping wire ends.

BTW, for hose cut and pin insert, I personally recommend to go a little expensive, and use the Shimano cutter & pin pusher, TL-BH62. Although it's in fact overpriced around 7000 JPY, it's really super easy for hose pin insert. Put pin into the location, just one pushand everything is done.
@ridesofjapan
@ridesofjapan 6 жыл бұрын
I actually thought of buying that for the build, in the end I didn't (Just finished the hose work 10 minutes ago). If I some how messed this up (haven't bled the brakes yet) and have to change hoses again I think I will bite the bullet and get the tool.... routing internal handle bars is much worse than in the frame, cutting and putting in the inserts "in place" would have made everything so much easier.

For cheap tools, I strongly recommend SuperB which are mostly made in Taiwan, and no worse than parktool but much cheaper. E.g the hex key set, the classic version, TB7715 can go just 680 JPY. And they have every tool literally, and even have Prenium lineup to compete with Parktool. The only problem is, it's very hard to find outside of Asia. It's super easy to find online dealers in China, and even amazon japan has online dealer for SuperB, I can't find any avaiable tool in US amazon.

I just found your channel. Good stuff. What do you do for frame prep, like chasing threads in dropouts, disc mounts, and bosses, and facing the head tube and chasing and facing the bottom bracket? Those tools are expensive. Do you just take your frame to the shop? I think Mason is one of only a few companies that preps the frame before they send it to you. I know Kinesis doesn’t.
@driodeiros
@driodeiros 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Tobias! Excellent resource. Love it. Naive question: what determines what type of bottom bracket you can use in your build? And, if you have multiple options, what are the things to consider to pick one?
@ridesofjapan
@ridesofjapan 6 жыл бұрын
David Rio cheers mate! In general, you can only use the BB “interface” that the frame in designed for, what decides exactly what BB to get is the crank. Ideally I would choose a crank that matched the native bottom bracket shell for the frame. If the frame is PF30 for example I’d get a BB30 crank. However some times we have cranks from older builds we’d want to use, in that case we need a conversion bottom bracket or adapter shims/spacers. for example PF30 to a 24mm Shimano crank. You can’t covert to every single standard however, for example you can’t covert a BB86 frame to fit a BB30 crank as the crank spindle is not wide enough. You can however covert BB86 to a BB386EVO crank... although there is concerns about the converting bike designed for 24mm crank spindle to a 30mm spindle as the bearing need to be much smaller and impact durability negatively. Is basically a jungle out there ;)

I prefer ratchet isntead of T handles. but a smal ratchet wrench is useful for tighter spaces and lower toque application like cockpit. I prefer it over your choice. as it's low profile, fits in tight spaces, and extention bar for bit is ncie for osme thigns, like tightening Hex bold for my light, or seat post, nice to have a small ratchet wrench, instead of bulky stuff, or long hex keys, but long hex key are nice for pivot bolts which have hidden hex, cus bits are not long enough, cus they only go half way in, and have to go all the way in.

• A 15mm is needed for some pedals. Take a look at the Knipex adjustable wrenches - one can replace all (!) your spanners. • And, for the inserts (brake hose on hydraulics) I recommend the Wiha mallet - it has a soft *and* hard side. Two in one. • Get a torque wrench for insert tools, not the kind shown: Only that will help you with hydraulic brakes and left pedal side. (Alyco 4-20Nm or Hazet 4-40Nm are nice) Inserts from China are good enough (SW 7, 8, 15, bit holder; SW 36 only if you use Shimano's too, see below). • Pedal maintenance: Don't go for the Shimano tool. Exustar E-T03 is superior and costs the same unless you're being ripped off. • BB Press tool: Improvise one, get some big nuts and washers from a home improvement store. • Regarding grease I've already commented on your hub-maintenance video. ;-) Repack grease into syringes, saves grease guns. • Loctite - get 222. Blue one is overkill (and should be 2432 anyway). Remember to shake!
