Best buy lately was a pair of prescription glasses designed for playing snooker. I look like the front of a Land Rover but now I can see the balls at other the end of the table.

And no, I'm not posting a picture.

One of the guys down the snooker club posted a picture on his Facebook page!

Very similar, but the top half of mine are rimless.

This is an easy one to answer for me! For years l've just made do with various punches, drifts, blocks of wood, lengths of "all thread" etc just to replace wheel bearing on the bike.
But with a pending bearing replacement due on my Hunt wheels, l finally bought the right tools for the job!

 

[AlanW]

Just 15 minutes to remove/replace the two bearings and that includes removing/refitting the front wheel! It Just begs the question why didn't l but these two kits years ago!!!

You just can't beat having the correct tools for the job. Even if you rarely need them they are always there and prevent damage from a bodge job and/or a trip to your LBS to get it done for you.

Indeed, this was the previous "kit" for removing/refitting wheel bearings....lol

Bought this recently for about £6

Mini 1/4inch Double Ended Ratchet. It’s a great little tool if you work on bikes.

Now then, are they the ones that Ribble Valley Cyclist says are great on his You Tube channel? I keep thinking abkut getting both kits as I too have a set of hunt wheels and want to do my own bearing replacements.

 

[straas]

Some little cable tidy clips, they are self adhesive and have a hinge and magnet to insert and remove the cable as required, put them behind my bedside table to hold all charging cables as required

 

[Hover Fly]

A small chainsaw. Not much use on a bike though.

 

[Drago]

A new hammer.

Yep, the very same.....lol

Search on Ebay and you'll get the extractor set for about £14 and the bearing press set for about £24, both delivered from the UK but from different outlets.

Get yourself some bungees and some jam jar lids will save you money in the long run.
