Bike tools

The hackspace currently has a set of bicycle tools on loan from --Davidhayward 18:01, 15 June 2011 (BST). They're located in the members room, and secured with a combination lock. Ask David for the combination.

The bike tools are also marked with blue tape, please don't disperse them throughout the hackspace.

Here are photos of all of the tools and explanations of what they are. If in doubt of any aspects of bike maintenance, David can help. The box is organised by which bits of the bike the tools are for:

Brakes and Headset:

Wheels:

Chainset:

General Tools:

Torque Wrenches and Sockets:

Torque wrenches live in the bottom of the toolbox, and the magnetic parts tray plus sockets and allen+star bits livein a blue case nearby.

The torque wrenches cover most ranges you need for a bike. The silver one in the red box runs from 2 - 24 Newton metres, the black one from 10 - 70 Newton metres.
