When working on your bike, having it elevated and held in place is extremely useful. This repair stand is a fantastic investment for being able to fix your bike. The clamp can rotate around two axis and if it's been mounted to the wall well, it's more stable that a conventional stand. This stand can be permanently mounted to a wall to save space and with less parts this stand costs less conventional two leg stands. Occasionally we see one mounted in the rear door of a van, very cool! Having your own Bike Repair Stand is a great way to start doing maintenance on your own bikes. We would be lost without ours! The alternatives to this product are: Conventional two-legged repair stands which are portable here Bench mounted repair stand here, like this but mount to a bench Specifications: Maximum Weight Capacity: 25kg - it can likely hold more but that is at your own risk Clamp opening adjusts from 30 - 80mm. Clamp has soft rubber on the inside which prevents damage being done to your bike when clamping. Notes This stand does not come with fixings for the wall. You'll need to determine how best to install it yourself The distance from the centre of the clamp to the wall is approximately 41cm Don't worry about this product being partially made out of plastic. It is very robust If you want to put your bike on super funky angles you may need to tighten the rotation mechanism. This can easily be done by taking the handle off and tightening a bolt which brings the teeth slightly closer together. Clamping your bike too hard can break things - just go easy on tightening it.

The worst part about floor pumps is their valve heads. The pump lasts forever, the valve head for 3 or so years. If yours is tired or breaks, don't buy a new pump - just get a replacement head. These valve heads work with Presta and Schrader valves and fit on standard 8mm-10mm outer diameter hoses.

Are you frustrated by how hard it’s become to install MTB tyres? Furious because tubeless inserts like Cushcore and Rimpact make that job even harder? Traumatized by the memory of making 2cm progress getting the tyre bead over the rim, only to realise that 8cm has come off the rim elsewhere? Us too. Tyre installation is something that’s got harder over time. As mountain bikes have transitioned to tubeless tyres it’s become more important that tyres have a consistently tighter fit on rims (story **). And if you’re installing tyre inserts to improve bike feel and performance, it’s is a couple of notches harder yet again. Anyway, that’s not an issue for us anymore. This tool has eliminated the vast majority of the pain. At least we can install tyres systematically now.  Product informationUsing this tool to hold your bead in place ensures that you have the most slack possible to work with when installing the final, tightest part of the tyre. Here’s how to use the tool: Buy a set of 3 Check your tyre has got the correct rotating direction before putting it onto your rim Put the first side of your tyre bead onto the rim channel Double check your tyre has the correct direction of rotation Ensure you have the Bead Holding Tools within reach, now get a portion of the bead into the rim Install the tool to constrain that portion of your tyre Wrestle more bead into the rim, about a third is ideal Install the second bead holding tool Get as much of the remaining bead onto the rim as you can. A quarter is a great goal Install the bead holding tool Whenever you make progress you “don’t want to lose” (think of it like pressing ctrl+s on your keyboard) install a bead tool to lock in that progress. You will now have 3 tools attached to the rim Finish the tyre, remove the tools and breathe a sigh of relief If needed, detach the middle bead tool and repeat the steps above The tool can also be used to remove tight tyres, particularly when a tyre insert is in use: Push the tyre off the bead towards the centre of the rim Install 3 Bead Holding tools around the wheel Now that the tyre bead is being held in the central channel of the rim it will be much easier to remove the tyre   Other things to consider: Apply soapy water to the bead before application Don’t forget to install your tyre sealant… If it’s hard to inflate the tyre, one of these tools can help with that. (tubeless blaster tool)   Other information These are made from PETG plastic which is durable and won’t scratch your rims We had this product tested by a local full time mechanic. They were surprised by how much easier this made installing tyre inserts. The example they gave us was Maxxis double down casing tyres with cushcore inserts. This is usually a very tight setup and it’s even possible to damage the tyre bead during installation. They found this tool made it systematic and easy to install the tyre, apparently they didn’t even use tyre levers…   Why this product?For less than the price of a single product from competitors (for example, the Cushcore beadbro), we provide three of a tool that do the job. If you wanted the same level of ease, you would need to get a few of those.   Storytime** ** Funny story. Jono’s friend Euan once had a tyre randomly blow off the rim while he was fitting it. It tore the derailleur jockey wheel in half and bent his rear brake rotor…   Product Guarantee This is a product which has been developed and manufactured by us. If you ever have any issues whatsoever please get in touch and we will sort them out for you, including a replacement unit.

This chain breaker comes with a spare pin and works with all types of bike chains except for super wide 5/32” single speed chains - but you probably don’t have one of these. With its comfy rubber handle (trust us, small steel handles suck), we think this chain breaker does just the trick.

If you have removed the crank bolt, yet the cranks are still stuck on your bike, there may be a female thread on the crank in the area you have removed the crank from (see realistically clean photo below). If that’s the case, you’ll need one of these bad boys.  The end of this tool has a removable head allowing the tool to be compatible with any type of crank. Thread the tool into the crank and then turn the chrome (shiny) part of the tool using a 15mm spanner.

Grease is a critical part of bike maintenance, but many bicycle grease guns are pretty average. We've had a Finishline grease gun for several years and it regularly suffers from a loss of pressure as well as leaking grease out of the plunger handle. So after throwing an adult tantrum, we went down a rabbit hole to find an alternative. This grease gun is the culmination of that rabbit hole. It's stout, it's silvery and we think that it's sexy. But more importantly, it's precise, consistent and easy to operate with one hand. It's quite similar to the Park Tool GG-1 Grease Gun and the Motorex Grease Gun.  The only thing we don't like about this gun is that you're committed to one type of grease per gun. Though it's a worthy tradeoff in our opinion. Set it and forget it. Features: 80mL volume The nozzle shape allows direct injection into grease nipples directly Filling instructions: Unscrew the top of the grease gun to open the barrel Add grease to the barrel. As you do so, tamp it down to remove air pockets. Continue filling until the barrel is completely full. Screw the top back on and tighten it Using a screwdriver, gently push the plunger up from the bottom until you can't push it further very easily. Skip this step at your own peril Tighten the top fully Prime the gun by pumping the handle to draw grease through the nozzle. Point the nozzle somewhere that can get messy. Do this until grease is coming through the gun consistently Done! Here's a video of this if you are curious: Recommended grease:We recommend using Parktool PolyLube 1000 as your general purpose grease. Unfortunately we are unable to sell this product but you should be able to find it fairly easily and cheaply locally.

If you already have a Shimano external bottom bracket wrench such as this one, you might need an adaptor to suit some bottom brackets:   BB9000 Adaptor: If you have a XTR BB93, Dura-Ace BB9000 or Dura-Ace BB9100 you will need the BB9000 adaptor. These bottom brackets have a major (outer) diameter of 39-40mm. BBR60 Adaptor: If you have an Ultegra BBR60 or Deore XT MT800 bottom bracket get the BB9R60 adaptor. These bottom brackets have a major (outer) diameter of 41-42mm.   With these Shimano bottom brackets you will find the part number written on the outer shell.

After a solid floor pump, but not keen on the price tag? We tested a few options and this was our second favourite* cost-effective floor pump. It's a pretty nifty wee unit with the following features: 160 psi maximum gauge Presta valve only or add a dual head (presta + schrader) with a pressure release button Steel barrel Composite base Before we tested it, our primary concern was about the composite base. We needn't have been too concerned though, it's pretty darn robust and will survive a lot of abuse. If you're keen to inflate tubeless tyres with it, it might be worth considering a tubeless inflator too. Note that you will need the dual head valve for this. We got our second favourite because our favourite one, with a steel base, had a minimum order quantity of 300 units 😂 Dual head valve While it's not strictly necessary, we recommend getting the dual head valve so that you can pump any bike tyres up instead of just presta valves. It also has a pressure release button which is handy for making small adjustments downwards
