Favourite tool: the best socket set you can afford. You will have them for life & if you get one with square driven hex/torx you don't need to buy a separate dedicated set of those to use with your torque wrenches either. Plus you will use them for loads of other things. Runner up: tool storage that works for your space. I've got a small chest with drawers, a peg board, milk crates for parts, small part organization trays, & shelving. These are all in my tiny little shop which also holds a bench, compressor, 8 bikes, camping gear, & more. It's a very small shop & I wouldn't be able to fit half as much if I weren't organized.

One of my favorite tools is my Utica low-torque torque wrench, which is shaped like a screwdriver and uses 1/4-inch hex bits, to set small screws like on Fox forks. Because they’re steel fasteners in aluminum threaded holes, it’s easy to strip the aluminum. And Fox calls out super-low torque ratings like 8 in-lbs (0.9 Nm) so it’s a great tool to have.

Im a pipefitter by trade the tool mentioned is a pipe reamer it cleans the burrs off the inside of the pipe. On cheap cutters they are just a triangular piece of steal. The one pictured is typically bought separately. Not expensive but worth the money. Also advise getting a quality pipe cutter, rigid is the golden standard, cheap cutters have a tendency to walk and thread the pipe instead of cutting it. When that happens its almost impossible to restart. Cutters will just follow the same groove. You get what you pay for.

#favouritetools. My favourite tools are my torque wrench. The main reason was I fitted a dropper and wanted it to work properly. While out on my rides I carry a Topeak Morph pump. I have recently bought a Topeak booster floor pump to replace my Topeak Joe Blow 2. I've only used it seat tubeless tyres once. But I always use to blow up and check my tyres. As I already had a hose cutter. I bought a Jagwire Needle Driver to insert the ends in brake hoses. I like to use my Topeak shock pumps. I have recently bought the XL version to get the air into the rear shock easier.

They used to be easy to fasten and unfasten with fingers, but the newer 1x12 chains have tighter quick links imo

Just got the gun metal one with the ratchet (anniversary one). Disappointed? It's nice to look at but it is so small, anything more than 6 nm you have to use way too much force as the tool is so small. I found a Wera 2.5 to 25nm with really good lenght so may give it a try. Which brands did you you try? Nice bicycle set there but can be bought separately: www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Wera-05004180001-4013288207685-16Pc-Bicycle-Torque-Set Thanks for your feedback..... :)

@@cedhen1 I think we may have the same one. I have the Giustaforea II 2-16Nm Pro Anniversary and also the Giustaforea II 10-60 Nm Pro and have been very pleased with both. Before settling on this brand I tried Park Tool (surprisingly garbage), Husky, Tekton, and Capri. I have also used a friend's Snap-on, which is probably the best out there, but they are very expensive and hard to find without going through a distributor. Also my other reason for going with Effetto Mariposa is that the markers are all in Nm, which saves me time converting from Ft. Lbs. or In. Lbs, which is what I'd be doing with most other commercial brands.

2:19 if done properly with a saw, it's a very fast job, and might be even faster than a pipe cutter. Maybe 10 seconds or less, I don't know. I haven't tried a pipe cutter, but you have to tighten it and rotate it, which takes time, but I cut through a steerer tube fast. but I am good with a saw, also lubing the area helps, to make less of a mess, and to make the saw move smoothly, and yes it actually makes a significant difference. Also you don't have to debur it, but I file it down with a smooth file. and it's done, but the cut is pretty clean. But use what ever works the best, for me I think a saw is nice.

Even better in my humble opinion is Pedro's Vise Whip. Once you lock the vise on the cassette, you don't have to worry about holding the jaws closed. Check them out if you want. pedros.com/products/tools/cassette-and-chain/vise-whip/

2:07 a thing to remember is you can't use a pipe cutter on carbon fiber steerer tube, cus it will compress it and damage it.

Internal bearing pullers (such as the set from Specialized) are basically your only option for extracting recessed bearings which are not accessible from the opposite side and as such are worth their weight in gold. The RRP bearing press is a nice compliment to those for the reverse job. Hammer the bearing in? I don't think so.

Rrp bearing drifts are great...didnt bother with the stupidly priced threaded rod and handles. Bolt and nut just as good

#AskGMBNtech. Hi GMBN, got a question for you guys, can you mix both wet and dry lube? Keep up with the videos cos they're amazing and very educational 🚵‍♂️

Dry lube needs a totally clean, dry, chain. But I will often then apply wet over the top of that if the weather gets wet. But dry over wet, no.
