I recently re-took an interest in cycling, so I decided to restore my Raleigh M-20 mountain bike. It didn’t take long for me to discover that a host of specialized tools are needed to properly maintenance a bike, and that’s where the tool kit came in. I took a risk by buying a cheap tool kit (it cost me $45 with shipping), but it payed off in my opinion.

Included in the kit are the main tools needed for a bike repair: a crank remover, chain breaker, cassette and freewheel remover, and “chain whip”, as well as five allan wrenches and a spoke tool. The chain whip incorporates several tools into one, with a wrench on one end, and a hook like tool on the other (I don’t know the technical terms). The chain breaker is of nice quality, with far better features and craftsmanship than the one I found at Walmart.

The tools included are of good quality for home use, but may fall short for professionals. Honestly, I was surprised at the overall quality vs. price ratio. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because they are not quite professional quality, but for the price, I didn’t expect them to be. I will add photos of the tool kit soon.

To me, this tool kit is a great value and I highly recommend this it to anyone considering doing their own repairs at home. I am very satisfied with the use I have gotten out of it so far.

Note DIYers: I highly recommend watching Youtube video tutorials before home maintenancing. Trust me, it will save you time and frustration!

I used to have an older hoover but the hoses went on it. This one is not nearly as heavy as the old hoover carpet cleaner. However, it does a very good job cleaning the carpets. Definitely better than the older hoover I had. I can see the difference right after I did the job.

Metal clamp/fastener very flimsy, poor grade alloy, loses it spring tension under mild road wear. You get what you pay for.

I don’t feel this seat is any more comfortable than the stock seat it replaced. Build quality is A-1, but lacks in justifing money spent to replace the original seat. if I didn’t have to pay return shipping, I would return it….
