Mountain Bike Crossword Week 2: How well do you know your tools?

You wash it, you fettle it, you swear at it in the cold and lube it back into submission — but how well do you actually know your bike and the tools you need to maintain it? Week two of our mountain bike crossword is a tour of the workshop with every clue pointing at a single item you might find there.

Most of the clues are straight definitions you’ll fire through on muscle memory, but we’ve slipped a few cryptic ones into the grid to make you actually think — and, as ever, there’s a hidden word lurking in the finished puzzle for anyone who fills it all in. Grab a coffee, see how many you can name without sneaking out to the shed for a look.

How to play

Tap a square, type your answer, and the grid fills in as you go. Stuck on one? Leave it and come back — the crossing letters usually give the cryptic ones away. It’s subscribers only this week, If you can see the puzzle below then it’s just you and your component knowledge.
