Nick is a CZcams sensation! Cade Media, Chris hall, and this channel? He’s slowly taking over.
Needs his own show/platform.
He’s like the godfather in charge of a network of British cycling CZcamsrs
One of my rarely used, but very important tools is a derailleur alignment gauge. Irreplaceable for a home shop.
Chain whip+casette wrench, and chain splitter pliers
Took me many years to actually buy one, but the tool that was a ‘game changer’ for me was a chain master link plier.

I would add cone wrenches, chain breaker, chain whip & bottom bracket tool. Good video.
Enjoyed hearing from Nick on The Wild Ones Podcast, nice to see him on video 😃
Things always seem expensive but if they're work and last they pay for themselves over the years.
I love my Wera Allenkeys for at home work
Knipex pliers FTW! Love the recommendation! Abbey, Wera... Nic knows what he is talking about!
Sees Nick, clicks watch.
Allen keys, Yes. But not on a multitool. It makes them so much harder to use. I don't even have a multitool in the kit I carry on long rides.
Bizarrely, nothing about puncture repair, which is the job most people will do regularly.
the knipex cable cutters spring open really wide. they dont fit smaller hands. the park cable cutter opens to perfect size.
My holy grail tool would be one that allowed you to non-destructively remove a bearing from a bore by the outer race from the inside. Never seen such a thing but it would likely involve a series of locking L-shaped metal rods similar to small Allen keys that formed a circle after being inserted, then you yank on it with a slide hammer or punch on it from the other side. Good bearings can be expensive so why ruin them just to remove them to do some maintenance work on a hub and such.
Pedro's, Wera , Knipex, Abby Tools 👍🏻
He is famous, I asked him to sign my shirt at the Tyne Riverside Cafe 😂
amazes me how we managed without a chain checker before, you should be able to tell due to the excess slack that appears from when you fitted it or check before buy if used, there will be evidence if you know what to look for
Which exact disc brake piston tool are you using? I only found one from Birzman but it costs like 50$.
Okay, if we are talking torque wrench: which one is recommended if you want to tighten your bottle holder and your casette? or is it better to get two wrenches? one up to 20 and the other one from 20 to 100? or even more?
for those two you would need two but the cassete can just be done without it - just make it very tight.
@@davidmurphy9151 I like the approach but I dont like the idea of very tight.
After his rant over chain waxing i give little credence to his so called bike knowledge
