Bike tool kit

A bike is made up of more than a hundred parts, some of which wear out and others require maintenance in order to maintain their lifespan. The disassembly, replacement and assembly of these components and accessories requires standard tools that can be used for all types of equipment and bicycle-specific tools.

Choosing a bike tool kit :

There are two types of tools intended for the maintenance or repair of bicycles:

1. the transportables are compact and multifunctional, they are composed of standard items such as allen wrenches, tire levers, a knife, a bottle opener or flat keys. This type of tool makes it possible to perform simple and quick operations.
2. disassembly or extraction tools such as a chain whip, a pedal wrench, a cassette disassembly key, a crank extractor. This type of tool is intended for repair or major maintenance operations which require special knowledge.
