Title: Need a bike toolkit. Recommendations needed
Post by: LucyLastic on March 02, 2007, 01:37 PM: I need to get myself a bike toolkit for my Specialized Enduro and OS bmx. Does one exist which will be useful for both bikes? Don't want to pay 100s for it but getting fed up trying to find the right spanner etc in Mr Lastic's shed, he's so disorganised. If it's easy to buy the things separate, could someone tell me what I need, tools and sizes etc? I think we had a similar thread like this not too long ago, so apologies for the repetition.
