MTB Mini Pump - Basic - Extractable Hose
Looking for a mini pump that doesn't break the bank? Consider one of these bad boys. We've been running one for 6 months on our mountain bike and its performance has been fine - just what you look for in a low price pump. These are perfect as a pump for in the pack but comes with a bottle cage mount also. Note: Not suitable for Road bikes, we think the maximum pressure is about 60psi (we're a bit weak) Features Extractable hose, so you can inflate your tyres without bending your valve around Presta and Schrader valve compatible Maximum pressure - about 60 psi. We just couldn't get it any higher. Fine for mtb's Basic bottle cage mount sits under the bottle cage Dust cap to keep crap out of the pump Cheap and chirpy, tweet tweet!

Anti-kink Gear Cable End
We've always had issues with the ferrules used for our dropper posts. When you put your dropper post into your frame it's all too easy to kink the end cap (ferrule) and be left with a bad section of cable which leads to crappy shifting. Conveniently, anti-kink cable ends solve this problem. This Jagwire anti-kink gear cable end provides the end of cable flexibility required for dropper posts (and folding bikes) so that you're not caught out by a crappy connection to an important component. It fits to standard size gear outer cable (4mm) and is worth having laying around for the required situation.

Floor pump replacement head (Presta & Schrader)
The worst part about floor pumps is their valve heads. The pump lasts forever, the valve head for 3 or so years. If yours is tired or breaks, don't buy a new pump - just get a replacement head. These valve heads work with Presta and Schrader valves and fit on standard 8mm-10mm outer diameter hoses. What's different with premium? It has a pressure release button which makes it easier to get the pressure you want if you overshoot it with your exuberant pumping The lever is metal The choice is yours 😊

Chain Breaker
This chain breaker comes with a spare pin and works with all types of bike chains except for super wide 5/32” single speed chains - but you probably don’t have one of these. With its comfy rubber handle (trust us, small steel handles suck), we think this chain breaker does just the trick.

Tubeless Tyre Bead Installation Tool (Like Cushcore Bead Bro)
Are you frustrated by how hard it’s become to install MTB tyres? Furious because tubeless inserts like Cushcore and Rimpact make that job even harder? Traumatized by the memory of making 2cm progress getting the tyre bead over the rim, only to realise that 8cm has come off the rim elsewhere? Us too. Tyre installation is something that’s got harder over time. As mountain bikes have transitioned to tubeless tyres it’s become more important that tyres have a consistently tighter fit on rims (story **). And if you’re installing tyre inserts to improve bike feel and performance, it’s is a couple of notches harder yet again. Anyway, that’s not an issue for us anymore. This tool has eliminated the vast majority of the pain. At least we can install tyres systematically now. Product informationUsing this tool to hold your bead in place ensures that you have the most slack possible to work with when installing the final, tightest part of the tyre. Here’s how to use the tool: Buy a set of 3 Check your tyre has got the correct rotating direction before putting it onto your rim Put the first side of your tyre bead onto the rim channel Double check your tyre has the correct direction of rotation Ensure you have the Bead Holding Tools within reach, now get a portion of the bead into the rim Install the tool to constrain that portion of your tyre Wrestle more bead into the rim, about a third is ideal Install the second bead holding tool Get as much of the remaining bead onto the rim as you can. A quarter is a great goal Install the bead holding tool Whenever you make progress you “don’t want to lose” (think of it like pressing ctrl+s on your keyboard) install a bead tool to lock in that progress. You will now have 3 tools attached to the rim Finish the tyre, remove the tools and breathe a sigh of relief If needed, detach the middle bead tool and repeat the steps above The tool can also be used to remove tight tyres, particularly when a tyre insert is in use: Push the tyre off the bead towards the centre of the rim Install 3 Bead Holding tools around the wheel Now that the tyre bead is being held in the central channel of the rim it will be much easier to remove the tyre Other things to consider: Apply soapy water to the bead before application Don’t forget to install your tyre sealant… If it’s hard to inflate the tyre, one of these tools can help with that. (tubeless blaster tool) Other information These are made from PETG plastic which is durable and won’t scratch your rims We had this product tested by a local full time mechanic. They were surprised by how much easier this made installing tyre inserts. The example they gave us was Maxxis double down casing tyres with cushcore inserts. This is usually a very tight setup and it’s even possible to damage the tyre bead during installation. They found this tool made it systematic and easy to install the tyre, apparently they didn’t even use tyre levers… Why this product?For less than the price of a single product from competitors (for example, the Cushcore beadbro), we provide three of a tool that do the job. If you wanted the same level of ease, you would need to get a few of those. Storytime** ** Funny story. Jono’s friend Euan once had a tyre randomly blow off the rim while he was fitting it. It tore the derailleur jockey wheel in half and bent his rear brake rotor… Product Guarantee This is a product which has been developed and manufactured by us. If you ever have any issues whatsoever please get in touch and we will sort them out for you, including a replacement unit.

Crank Puller Tool
If you have removed the crank bolt, yet the cranks are still stuck on your bike, there may be a female thread on the crank in the area you have removed the crank from (see realistically clean photo below). If that’s the case, you’ll need one of these bad boys. The end of this tool has a removable head allowing the tool to be compatible with any type of crank. Thread the tool into the crank and then turn the chrome (shiny) part of the tool using a 15mm spanner.

Premium mini Grease Gun
Grease is a critical part of bike maintenance, but many bicycle grease guns are pretty average. We've had a Finishline grease gun for several years and it regularly suffers from a loss of pressure as well as leaking grease out of the plunger handle. So after throwing an adult tantrum, we went down a rabbit hole to find an alternative. This grease gun is the culmination of that rabbit hole. It's stout, it's silvery and we think that it's sexy. But more importantly, it's precise, consistent and easy to operate with one hand. It's quite similar to the Park Tool GG-1 Grease Gun and the Motorex Grease Gun. The only thing we don't like about this gun is that you're committed to one type of grease per gun. Though it's a worthy tradeoff in our opinion. Set it and forget it. Features: 80mL volume The nozzle shape allows direct injection into grease nipples directly Filling instructions: Unscrew the top of the grease gun to open the barrel Add grease to the barrel. As you do so, tamp it down to remove air pockets. Continue filling until the barrel is completely full. Screw the top back on and tighten it Using a screwdriver, gently push the plunger up from the bottom until you can't push it further very easily. Skip this step at your own peril Tighten the top fully Prime the gun by pumping the handle to draw grease through the nozzle. Point the nozzle somewhere that can get messy. Do this until grease is coming through the gun consistently Done! Here's a video of this if you are curious: Recommended grease:We recommend using Parktool PolyLube 1000 as your general purpose grease. Unfortunately we are unable to sell this product but you should be able to find it fairly easily and cheaply locally.

Multi Tool - 9 function
Multi tools… Seemingly simple, but often not quite right. We had a good look through the options available to us, gave up and got these ones custom specced for us. Key features: Allen keys: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm Torx 25 key Philips head screw driver (PH-1) The 8mm kallen key is short, but not too short! A rigid alloy body, so you can jump on it if you need to tighten up a crank with the 8mm Unlike a number of other multi-tools, the 8mm driver on this tool is a sensible length (short, but not too short) and its rigid alloy body means that you could jump on it to tighten up a crank, if you needed to... Size: Dimensions: 68mm x 35mm x 14mm Weight: 103g

Easy Luber - easy ebike chain lubing device
When you back-pedal an e-bike, the chain doesn’t move. This makes lubing the chain rather tricky… But this is easily addressed with this product. This tool creates a direct link between the crank and chain-ring so when you backpedal, the chain moves - making it as easy to lube as an analog bike. Personally, our favourite lube is Smoove, which works wonderfully for both e-bikes and regular bikes. Why not just use an allen key? This tool is easy to remove and can't break your drivetrain. Yep, that's possible - have a look at one of the photos customers have sent us about this: That is indeed a sticky situation. Product video
