In this post, I outline my recommendations for a starter bicycle maintenance tool kit. Make sure you know what are taking on, before you start work.

Another excellent choice is Leonard Zinn's Art of Road Bike Maintenance and Leonard Zinn's Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance books. I have the Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair-an in-depth tutorial of all the jobs you are likely to attempt, as well as lots of colour photos.

These are your workbench essentials.īefore getting on to the tools themselves, it is worth mentioning a good maintenance book-so that you have a reference point before getting to work. You will need some home bicycle workshop tools-to avoid making a trip to the local bike shop every five minutes. As with many a new toy though, there are a few niggling problems-such as skipping gears, misaligned handlebars, or annoying punctures.

You have started cycling and have your first proper bike.
