I'm a former pro mountain bike mechanic, I worked on an independent MountainCycle team, one of my favorite tools (which I still use to this day) is the Efficient Velo Tools Poker Ace which is just a fancy poker. Back in the 00's we had all kinds of silly tricks like spraying Pam on clipless pedals so they would shed mud faster or soaking brake and shift cables in silicone. So much of the tech is so good now you don't have to do half of those things to get bikes to perform phenomenally.

hi, i have a multitool...that's it..🤟😅

[@niallcosgrove5596]

Where are the impact guns...

[@Neil_Mackie]

A hammer. Always a hammer.

[@pinkbike]

Many mechanics favorite tool for sure!--Christina

[@donchristie420]

Neil Mackie they are called- fine adjustment tools, they come in various weights, by poundage 😬

[@MrAlexander137]

Rubber mallet, always been a firm favourite!

[@malachistephenson6354]

Love this video, would love to see a professional bike shop setup if possible

[@JonesingUSAF]

Love even seeing in the thumbnail, the Mitutoyo calipers! I have the 8” ones and use them daily!! WELL worth the extra penny for them!

[@mrexon]

Kimpex plyers are the bomb!!!

[@PeterDiCapua]

Knipex bro....To the Germans, spelling matters

[@mrexon]

Pete DiCapua well I got four pairs, spelling don’t matter when you paid the cash I did

[@insightbike]

very cool to see this. Also, fewer park tools, kinda nice.

[@philipps4322]

As long as there is no grim donut ride review inside their toolbox, what even is the point of being a bike mechanic???

[@Kev.in-Bike]

very nice tools case 👌

[@mattfallon3991]

Beta or USAG t handles are the bestest! And Felco cable cutters and honorable mention to a wireless dremel

[@dominic3869]

[@pinkbike]

Thanks! Fun one to work on for sure--Christina

[@KURZHAARTARTARA]

@@pinkbike Thanks! I really mean it. You are doing your job very well, especially in a male-dominated sport - work ... Congratulations ... !!!

[@KURZHAARTARTARA]

Like KNIPEX, there is no other, they have an exclusive patent from the factory located in Germany. German technology. They make amazing tools for electricians, plumbers and engineers. Some companies have taken them with a bond, such as WURTH ...

[@tommustoe5672]

@@KURZHAARTARTARA bore off you brown nose!

[@KURZHAARTARTARA]

@@tommustoe5672 I did not ask your opinion. - You can keep it to yourself. - Don't bother me again. -

[@reapermanslayer]

No Aqua-net superhold for grips? Never trust clamp ons.

[@leegarrett3600]

Does anyone know where to get that DU Bush tool?

[@ItsTeagle]

No snap on? Gutted. The fork substitute tool was cool though!

[@7hhuman995]

Yeah, seriously wish I could buy that thing!

[@tylerwinans4360]

Cool vid, I wouldn’t say the same for the background music tho 😅

[@michaelmazani]

♥️ Chapetta

[@gls-dave620]

What tools are needed for the grim donut?

[@wslee2482]

John Hall! :)

[@FelipeAF_YT]

Favourite tool: Y-allen 6-5-4 and ProTip #234124: Mark your name or ID under the top cap if your bike is stolen.

[@lukefarrell117]

Grim donut!

[@PeterDiCapua]

Is nobody gonna comment on how good looking the host is? How U doin?

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

Not a lot of park tool being used here, almost as if pro mechanics know they aren’t good tools ( even though park insist they’re the best)

[@user-nt8ug2tm5p]

I (as intellectual) having only multitool, a hammer and an adjustable wrench, do all the possible work with my bike (even bleed my brakes)

[@unpocodetodofuerzayhonor6061]
