If you have loose bearings in your wheels (as opposed to cartridge bearings) get two cone wrenches of the appropriate size. If you plan on doing your own bearing repairs you might also want to get a strong magnet for removing your bearings (unless they\u2019re ceramic of course).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe above lists should be all the tools you\u2019ll need to do your own home maintenance and repair.\u00a0 You can find how-to articles and videos on this site as well as on YouTube.<\/p>\n
Remember, most bike mechanics are happy to help you out with information, tips and tricks if you just give them a little beer (or beer money)!<\/p>\n
