Bought some split link pliers recently, and a 3rd hand tool. Just so much easier to have to do stuff with. Really wanting a wheel building stand, probably going to ask Santa for a Park TS2.2 for xmas. And having recently lost my valve core remover dustcap (from Halfords), that Park VC-1 looks very tempting indeed.
Stuff like headset presses are only worth getting if you run a bike workshop. For occasional use, the bit of threaded bar and large washers/old headset cups thing works perfectly.
Considering how to make some alignment gauges/dishing tools at home. Very simple tools, which are relatively very expensive. Will be so satisfying to have a set I’ve made myself, for buttons.
