THe track pump is good for £8 I don't trust the gauge too much, the toolkit met with respect from teh lads at Tynecastle High. We left the stand locked in the teachers bike shed , will see if it is still there next week.,offering to clean teachers bikes for small fee.</p> <p>No point ever going into the shop (well except to try something for size) during the sale. You can get all the stuff on tintenet the night before. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12278 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:29:52 +0000 recombodna 12278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now. anyone any idea how to use the chain whip that comes in the kit? There's 2 likely looking holes drilled in the cone wrenches...</p> <p>yup the headset spanner has 2 holes in it.Take the wee rubber bits off the chain and pop the pins through these holes then refit rubber bits to stop it all fallng apart. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12236 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:49:09 +0000 Dave 12236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I went in yesterday to try and buy two track pumps, but they were out too. </p> <p>Shame, as I actually wanted one for my office bike store, and one for SWMBO's... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12231 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:33:35 +0000 chdot 12231@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Do you know if I'm barking up the right tree or not?"</p> <p>I have no idea how barking you are, but that's what the holes are for - bit fiddly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12229 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:30:26 +0000 kaputnik 12229@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I hope you mean the headset spanner! </em></p> <p>Yes you know what I meant :) Now. Do you know if I'm barking up the right tree (wrench / spanner) or not? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12225 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:08:26 +0000 steveo 12225@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Work stand is one of those things i keep wanting but never having the space to store.</p> <p>Got two of those £2.99 lights, one to back up my homebrew and one for my dad after he seen it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12223 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:03:14 +0000 Arellcat 12223@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>There's 2 likely looking holes drilled in the cone wrenches...</em></p> <p>Are the holes of the same spacing as bottlecage braze-ons, by any chance?</p> <p>I was at the shop on Saturday afternoon, and they had lots and lots of their workstands coming out of a big van. They must've been selling like hot cakes. I bought a couple of bottles of the Finish Line degreaser, although I'm less sure than ever that it's not just orange-flavoured white spirit. I also picked up a woolly hat for winter. Fortunately for everyone else, I bought my workstand three or four years ago, and it's very useful. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12217 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:48:49 +0000 chdot 12217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"There's 2 likely looking holes drilled in the cone wrenches..."</p> <p>I hope you mean the headset spanner! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-12213 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:41:42 +0000 kaputnik 12213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I managed to get me a toolkit, but alas all the workshop stands were gone by 2PM when i showed up.</p> <p>Now. anyone any idea how to use the chain whip that comes in the kit?

All 3 for my bike maintenance club I am starting at Tynie this year. I will be on tinternet at 12 midnight on the friday avoiding queue but don't tell anyone else about this </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-11719 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:56:44 +0000 kaputnik 11719@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good price - there's a couple in there I haven't accumulated yet and it still works out cheaper than buying them individually. Plus, I can donate the surplus to friends who are less keen on bikes than I, but still could do with the right spanners and wrenches.</p> <p>I was also enamoured with the discount being offerend on their workshop stand. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-11716 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:22:36 +0000 recombodna 11716@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have this tool kit and it's not too bad. The crank extractor's rubbish as are the flat black spanners but all in worth £30 of anyones money. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1282#post-11715 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:11:35 +0000 chdot 11715@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you're on the EBC mailing list you'll probably have got a SALE card this morning.</p> <p>Once again they are offering <a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f%5FProductID=6721">their toolkit</a> at 1/3 off.
