Best Item You Own!

Is it powerful enough to get the required psi on the rear tyre of your winter bike ?

I just can't let that go can I

certainly is. the gauge only goes up to 120, but i'm sure i could get 140 out of it if needed. it's been used with tubs, clichers, presta, schrader, bikes, buggies and cars.

My iPad. Workshop manuals in the garage, books to read at bed time, my work schedules, my tutorial records for my students, and the entire repository of human knowledge in my hand

Possibly the most awesome thing I've ever seen.

The Lidl workstand I bought earlier this year. So cheap, and yet so bloomin' useful. My back thanks me every day for buying this.

When I used to own a Japanese motorcycle many years ago, the most important tool was my impact screwdriver. Simple but incredibly effective.

Also bought the Lidl stand.

Only problem I've had with it is the front wheel holding bar. The straps to wrap round bars and stand only held on by little pits of plastic and one from each end snapped off. Cable tied them on. Will have to think about what to do if the other breaks off .

I have a Cane Creek headset spacer on my keyring.

Mentioned upstream but not as a favourite item... the crank puller.

I'm not sure whether it's because of the way it works or the fact it is cycling specific but I always get a deep sense of satisfaction using it. If defines cycle maintenance for me.
