Off-Season Projects - Winter 2017/18

[tex929rr]

As I’m being extremely lazy and it’s cold outside and I want to do something vaguely useful, I thought I’d assemble a tool roll to carry in a pannier. I already have a Kriega tool roll, so would any kind souls like to advise on appropriate socket/wrench and allen/hex key sizes it would be useful to have in the roll? Plus any other useful things to carry in case of a realistically possible roadside repair?

That’s the sort of question that deserves its own thread (I think I’ll do that).  As someone said, a ratchet with 8/10/12/14 mm sockets, an adjustable wrench and a quality set of locking pliers. A quality screwdriver with Different heads.  I think a 4 and 5 mm would cover the hex keys; maybe add a 6 mm for the bar ends. A couple of bikes I’ve owned recently had Torx fasteners, so that a whole different problem.  Fuses, wire ties, maybe a small roll of electrical tape.  Definitely a flat repair kit.
