XTools Bicycle Toolkit


XTools Bicycle Toolkit

This has been a great toolkit. Cost around $50 and its got almost everything you need for total bike maintenance.

The only thing I use regularly that is not in this kit is a chain wear tool.

Is it better to buy a toolkit or assemble your own from individual tools?

Toolkit pros:

  • cheaper than buying tools individually;
  • convenience - having all the tools in a neat plastic carry case makes this toolkit great for roadtrips;

Individual tool pros:

  • you only buy what you need;
  • each tool can be 'perfect' for your needs;
  • possible to get better quality individual tools;
