Here’s some of the tools we use daily that you don’t normally see. We love having all the tools we need, there’s nothing better than having the correct tool for the job. We can order any of these if you want one, don’t hesitate asking us to see some of these in action.
Pedro’s vise whip is an easy alternative to the traditional chain whip, this makes taking a cassette off a dream!
A dish tool lets you make sure the rim is even with the hub and is a must use when building a wheel.
Chris King’s hub tool performs a number of task, you can take the whole hub apart and re-build it with this fancy tool.
We have a large tap and die set that is great for fixing bad bolts and damaged threads.
The star nut tool sets your star nut at the correct depth and is very easy to use.
Park’s headset installation tool is the easiest and best way to press in your headset, we have the Chris King adapters to set their headset in correctly.
The headset cup remover, also known as the exploding cigar easily removes headset cups. The four prongs push the cup out evenly unlike a screwdriver or punch which can damage soft aluminum headsets.
For removing headset crown races this tool is a god send. Using a screw driver and hammer is the wrong way and can damage your fork. Slide the tool over your steerer and the jaws of the race remover clamp the race. Twist the handle and it pulls the race off!
The headset race installation tool comes with six different adapters for different brands of headsets. Pick the correct one and slide the tube over your steerer, then hammer the race on the right way.
This disc truing tool easily straightens a bent disc.
Park’s axle vise safely clamps three different axle sizes, and makes working on a hub a breeze. Simply drop it into the vise and the aluminum jaws clamp your axle without hurting it.
This saw guide is a very nice tool to have, it clamps the tube and lets you get a straight cut. It doesn’t mushroom the tubing like a pipe cutter!
Another handy tool from Park is the derailleur hanger alignment gauge. A bent derailleur hanger will keep your bike from shifting smoothly.
Here’s a similar tool to the one above, the Park bottom bracket tapping and facing set can clean up a damaged or rough threaded bb. It also creates matching parallel surfaces for the smoothest bb bearings possible, this is especially important when using the new outboard/external bearing style bottom brackets.
Park’s head tube reaming and facing set create a level surface for headset cups to be pressed into. When the bearings are perfectly parallel, it allows for the least bearing resistance and smooth turning.
We use the Giustaforza torque wrench on a daily basis for getting the correct torque spec on bolts.
This is another good thing to have around, especially if you have a sweet tooth like we do. Thanks to Haswell for holding my light during the picture taking.
