Top 10 Tools To Add To Your Toolbox | Mountain Bike Maintenance

[@Jack-cu7rl]

cant live without the 3 GMBN videos with the same topic but different titles...

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

That Topeak pump is $150++. You can get a decent compressor and all kinds of attachments along with a prestaflator for the same price. An analog Prestaflator is $39. If you want digital, $79. The pump is portable, but not like you can take it out on the trails. You still end up having to have a mini pump with you. Maybe if the pump was $80, you could consider it an alternative to a compressor. But all that pump can do is pump up bike tires. It can't run air tools, it can't be used as compressed air for bike cleaning and maintenance tasks. A compressor and a Prestaflator is the ultimate solution.

Compressor To High Pressure For MTB Bike. Your Perception Like Me. Planning Buying High Pressure Pump For MTB Tire And Then Now Am Change My Mind Why MTB Tire Need Low Pressure Pump High Volume. And Did You Know Compressor Price? That Too Expensive

[@williamkeys5701]

One tool not mentioned here that I can't live without is a spoke wrench. Gotta keep those wheels true!

[@garygilbert1127]

and doubles up as a valve core remover but I just use my multitool pliers

[@hartleywallace2157]

I couldn't live without the park tool pizza cutter!

[@oliverluckl5244]

Those are exactly the tools I bought myself within my first 2 years of mountainbiking. Nice video!

[@chazphot]

Can't say I agree with master link pliers, such a niche tool and regular needle nose pliers or even a bit of string works just as effectively. I always keep some string in my pack for out on the trail.

[@jamesdaginge9262]

I couldn't live without my bike stand !!!

[@marvaus]

agreed!

[@th_js]

James da ginge:) i have never had one. Is It a good investment?

[@jamesnizzy9774]

@@th_js Definitely, i bought one online for £20. Works a treat

[@th_js]

@@jamesnizzy9774 I've had one for almost an year now.

[@lloyd.o5914]

Can’t live without a good old set of Allen keys!

[@wizrdlizrd8805]

The most thorough list I've seen so far! Thanks Doddy ;)

[@Zaiyetz]

Park Tool tools are right on the border of being really nice and worth the money and outrageously expensive. That cable routing kit is $62 for instance, but I bet it works perfectly.

[@mouseamillion]

Zaiyetz can get the same result with a cheap, but decently strong magnet and a length of string.

[@shlep444]

He says the magnet is super strong but to be honest I found it a bit on the weak side. Fortunately there are much stronger magnets that you can use

[@P5YcHoM4N]

Guy who runs my local shop got the tool and hated it. He finds using a bit of string, a bit of tape, and a strong vaccuum works much better. And it is free considering most people have them already.

[@elvingtonred]

My Park bike stand, couldn't live without it!

[@FPVSuperPersuit]

I can do a lot on the bike with my 20 in 1 multi tool. One of the most handy bits of kit I have is the Shimano brake bleed funnel. Even when I'm fitting new brakes I put the funnel on and put a little mineral oil in there. Makes it a lot easier to push the pistons back and I can 'pump' the brake lever to remove any air bubbles.

[@mikagami69]

Thanks Doddy! I can't live without... deadblow hammers! Really handy!

[@namewastaken360]

A work stand for your bike is really good.

[@travellerseko]

Disc brake pad adjusting tool is perfect

[@abu1950]

I can live without park tools though, Jesus they are costly. I love the way they look and everything but I would have expected the cable management stuff to cost like 20 at most.

[@koko-lores]

You never need a crank puller? I have an old one (squared taper bb's), and recently got one for RaceFace cranks.

[@garygilbert1127]

been gonna buy chain pliers for years but always managed to wing it, chain whip is an old chain and vice grips but do fancy that pump.

[@saletheking6292]

Allen keys for sure

[@Gkuljian]

I learned something. Different speed chains have different stretch limits. I just use a ruler. Can't live without my custom made headset/stem compression tool that eliminates the need for a starnut and stem cap.

Really enjoying the channel with tips,tricks and your knowledge is great. But my bank account has taken some stick buying stuff.👍🏻 Keep up the good work.

[@robbiewhite3195]

I'm watching all your videos again. In an ask GMBN anything earlier in the year some dude asked for a video on how to get your bike into cars. You said you would do it. You didn't It would be quite helpful😂

[@garygilbert1127]

buy a big car, I got an alhambra and whipped half the seats out and can take three bikes no problem, I've got bike carriers on the roof too but I need steps to reach lol

[@drewcama5481]

I can listen to this guy all day long. Does the torque tool measure the torque applied to the bolt your tightening?

[@simonbrady5904]

Marcus Bevzyuk very funny given the backdrop. These guys at GMBN do a great job in providing many of us useful information and it all needs paying for which is why they are clearly sponsored by Park Tool 😀

[@ArkitekFAA]

Hi , I wanted to get the gx eagle but uncertain about which crank length to pick. I'm 168cm tall and ride a 2017giant reign , could you do a video on how to select the best crank length

[@BjornE46]

Most important tool: bottle opener for the cool beers 🤣

[@limyohwan]

[@TK-zh5ck]

A cold beer is how I start any mechanical project you are exactly correct.

[@billbuckley1919]

Every tool is a bottle opener.

I got a 5 pounder a few weeks ago, it's like a mini god!

[@tobym2595]

I use mine for precise light weight carbon parts it works like a dream

[@jadenclemow]

Could you use the 15mm cone spanner as a pedal wrench

[@rbc5150]

NOOO ! Don’t use multi-tool allen or torx keys. You have a much bigger chance of rounding the bolts with these. Buy a decent set of single keys. A multi tool should be for the trail only in an emergency because it is small to carry.

[@AshfordMTB]

where can we get a Doddy for the garage?

[@Tobywan83]

Why do you need 3 ATD-1.2's? Isn't one enough?

[@christophermikrowelle7093]

A chain checker for 45 dollars? No thanks, especially since the device can only be used for this one purpose. I'd rather buy a sliding gauge, set it to 108 millimeters, put the ends in the chain links and pull the caliper apart. When it exceeds 108.8 millimeters, I know it's time to replace the chain. This caliper, if I buy it cheap, costs me $25. And I can use it for all sorts of things. Expensive chain-pliers? No thanks. Any needle nose pliers will do the job just as well. If I don't have needle nose pliers I take a shoelace, twist that around the chain link, give it a quick yank - and the chain lock pops open. Cable routing kit for 70 dollars? Ouch. You can get one of those in the electrical department of any hardware store for $10.

[@travisvanderlaan9829]

How about a spork wrench to true your wheels?

[@harleygreen255]

Allen key!!

[@DavidElizondo_G]

Not a tool, but extremely handy with bikes... Zip Ties! Also, you missed the Cable Housing Cutter!

[@randomdudeontheinternet4389]

Maybe not completely bike related, but honestly, I can't live without my Leatherman Surge :D

[@TheProjectsimpson]

it's a toss up between my park tool 4,5,6 tri Allen wrench w/the ball ends and my pedros pedal wrench.

[@serbuuu]

To be honest i have some good tools, almost everything to do maintenance on my bike. But till this time i have no tyre lever so i use unused spoon instead :D

[@ChristianEilers]

Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauge (Park Tools DAG-2 or similar) - shifting performance goes down too fast, cable and housing are supposed to be fine? Check the hanger :D

[@michaelzwiener395]

I got a lot of really cheap and trashy tools and wanna get a little upgrade. Can you recommend a toolkit that covers most of the jobs without breaking the bank? I ride several bikes, so I need the basics that I can use on most of them. Park tool is great but they are premium.

[@sj_leee4995]

can the chain on a whip stretch

[@acikahve]

Buy one Bosch (or any other good brand) electric screwdriver with torque adjustment and a good set of bits. You will need hand tools nomore!

[@sultanabran1]

music is awesome

[@nicom4996]

I know you was going to start whit Every mountain bikers should have...

[@lima188]

Just came across an issue recently putting and in my fork and shock. The valve core came loose. Is it the tyre valve core the same for the forks and shock? Cheers

[@marekvanatka2426]

Do you guys reuse the master links or there is an increasing danger of snapping after reusing?

[@slippingsnake]

I think SRAM says the master links are one time use, but me and the people I know use them mutliple times...

[@shlep444]

Hanger straightening tool

[@victorgiannella8463]

What’s the top part of the chain whip for? I never understood that the chain is useless it seems

[@ilikerealflight]

The whole point of a chain whip is to have a tool that grabs onto your cassette so that you can either unscrew it or screw it in. In the handle of the park tool chain whips is a wrench kinda hole that perfectly fits around a cassette tool

[@mik0craft]

Is the e 13 lg1 7 speed cassette even buyable anywhere separately ? I would like to know where to buy when my gets worn out

[@riammey]

I can't live without Cable ties 😆 I use them on the bike for different things

[@mscislawin]

What about beer. Its quite important :D

[@mikedinnis9926]

What's the other end of the valve core tool used for?

[@theplumperlumper4508]

Mike Dinnis I would assume schrader valves

[@mikedinnis9926]

Theplumperlumper, do you get Schrader valves which require a tool?

[@theplumperlumper4508]

Mike Dinnis you can take the cores out of them

[@Drago0900]

I refuse to get those master link pliers I am just gonna stick with my whipperman connex master links that are almost infinitely useable. And unlock by hand easily.

[@cracka5431]

Cone spanners are not really necessary. I think the biggest mistake you can do is waste money on bike specific tools, when most regular tools in the shed can do the job almost equally well.

[@Nantesco]

Hack: Use a spoke key as a valve core remover. Works fine!

[@louiepatrickaguila1521]

I cant live wothout my set of individual hex allens keys

I have never used a tyre lever. just use the handle end of a spoon

Rubber mallet. Saves me trashing my mancave with a proper one when things don't go to plan. Just keep it in easy reach so it's the first hammer to hand when you loose it and go 'full silverback' or have a full on nerd rage.

they should make videos based on viewers' suggestions

but we don't pay them or sponsor them, it's not like youtube pay them for all the views we give them lol

[@nathan42694]

The companies ask them, "hey, we'll give you free stuff if you use it in your videos". Then we watch the videos, think that's what they use. Some of the pros who get free stuff sell it or give the stuff away to charity or give it to there friends

[@denishuber7758]

Especially if you gonna buy those extremely expensive tools ..it seems it looks better than it does the job ...

[@Markikuunn]

Have them all, important to have high quality cone wrenches because they are so thin they get rounded easily. I would add a good set of snapping cable clamps, trying to cut with a dull one will un-thread the cable and reduce the life span. Also a spoke wrench to re tension and straighten the rims and a piece of wood paired with a regular hammer to tap loose or insert components that have a tight fit (like cranks)
