Tools Every Cyclist Needs!

What tools do you actually need to work on your bike at home? In this episode, we break it into two tiers: the true essentials for regular maintenance and repairs, and the more advanced tools that only make sense if you want to take your home mechanic skills further. From floor pumps, metric Allen keys, tire levers, and chain tools to spoke keys, bleed kits, torque wrenches, and Pinion-specific tools, this video covers what matters most, what can wait, and when it makes more sense to head to your local bike shop instead.  -- Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:18 The most essential tool: floor pump 00:44 What to look for in a pump 01:18 Basic essential tools overview 01:27 Phillips screwdriver and scissors 01:43 Metric Allen keys 02:30 Why metric vs imperial matters 03:01 Basic box wrenches 03:20 Tire levers 03:48 Cleaning rag 03:58 Chain lube and chain tool 04:22 Assembly grease 05:08 Tier two: advanced tools 06:05 Spoke keys and wheel truing 06:36 Cable and housing tools 07:12 Pinion lockring tool and strap wrench 07:53 Bottom bracket and cassette tools 08:15 Disc brake tools 09:04 Brake bleed kits 09:23 How to learn advanced repairs 09:41 Torque wrench 10:02 Mini ratchet set 10:35 Ratchet set for advanced service 10:55 Bike shop level tools 11:16 Final thoughts and wrap-up -- Priority Bicycles creates low-maintenance bicycles featuring a Gates Carbon Drive Belt, backed by 7-day-a-week customer service, shipped directly to your door. - - Learn more on our Website: http://www.prioritybicycles.com Connect with us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/ridepriority See us in action on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ridepriority Follow Priority news on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ridepriority -- Questions?
