October 14, 200718 yr At some point all of my toolbox has been taken over by a varying degree of bent and snapped levers (Obviously not mine someone must be playing a trick on me )I think I may even have one straight one in there! Really must have a sort out and find out were all the tools have gone though? All I can find is rim protectors a C spanner and many a allen key
October 15, 200718 yr EVERYTHING, except what is needed at the moment! Did I tell you that you are supposed to use the tools BEFORE the trial! Cannot recall how many i have seen trying to change tires and lube the linkage AT a trial! Oh, amost forgot the nails, tha gasser guys always seem to need them when their footrests are falling off, I sell them for a DOLLAR! 125 Scorpa riders beware, Nigel wants to "lube y'er cable"! ```` Edited October 15, 200718 yr by copemech
October 15, 200718 yr I had a Gas Gas a few years back and needed a 16mm spanner. Not used it on anything else since.

October 15, 200718 yr Short length of electrical wire with connectors either end to by-pass thermostat on the rad, should the fan fail to come on. Long cable tie just thicker than a brake disc, slip between the pads when refitting wheels to keep pads apart, once the disc is lined up and part way in, slide it out.
October 15, 200718 yr Most tools for most jobs until I bought my new gasser. How dare they change the thread on the flywheel puller !!!!!! I've already got 6 different types and none of them fit, suppose I'll need to add to the collection again..... On the subject of threads, I've just added a selection of Timesert thread repair inserts available from Wurth. Much better than helicoil if anyone's interested ? Happy spannering
