Gearing up(ho) for the imminent delivery ( he says!) of the Agattu. Just realised that I have lost or lent out all my repair and maintenance tools. Could anyone recommend a high quality inexpensive kit?

Heres a neat Topeak set of the specials excluding spanners:

Wiggle

And a decent set of low cost spanners:

MachineMart

Those should look after everything you need at minimal expense.

Thanks Flecc. Those should keep me going..
So, have you taken your Chevy to the Levy yet, or was it too dry?

The Chevy name is a bit of a joke on such a small car really. They were Daewoo until GM took them over and attached the Chevrolet name, leaving most models the same but redesigning the Matiz a bit. I only bought it because it was 4' 11" wide and lets me get my bikes past it in the garage. I bet their marketing department would never have dreamed of that reason why someone would buy their car.

Mending "e" bikes! :p

Sorry, couldn't resist that Keith. :D

Seriously, it's a universal chain tool. This enables a chain to be separated or rejoined by pressing out chain link rivets or pressing them back in.
