How to Avoid Going into the Bicycle Store for Repairs
What if you need to repair your bike on your own? Already have the suitable type of tools to do it? How about the bigger tools that are needed? While you already have some smaller bike tools of your own, you will need these much better and complete tools so that you can completely skip on going to your bike store.
Clamp for the axle
You will need an axle clamp. With this tool, you can easily repair your wheels and their components like the bearing. Your bike wheel will be held horizontally and the axle will not turn as you open its hub. The axle clamp makes your work on servicing the wheel so much easier.
Hammer
This is the ball peen hammer, the smaller cousin of the conventional work shop hammer. This is where you need it for performing those extra hard knocks to exert pressure onto certain stubborn parts.
Vice and work bench
If you want to save money, you do not need a work bench. A work bench could cost as much as $100 for an ordinary wooden or metal table. But if you have a table that you can deal damage to in your garage, then save on buying a proper work bench.
Then, use the vice to attach your wheels with the axle clamp. Of course, when repairing, make sure you attach some protective layer (like a paper or hard cover or newspaper) before clamping a component with the vice.
Tools for the bottom bracket
Most bikes today have a cartridge bottom bracket. You could purchase these tools at a low price of $10.
Chain whip
This tool is used for removing a ‘cogset' cassette. You should wrap the chain whip around the largest cog to stop the cassette from turning. At the same time, you could then loosen the lock ring of the cassette. You could get a chain whip at only $10 to $20, a relatively cheap investment tool.
Crank puller
Like its name suggests, it is used for the crank.
Freewheel removers
This tool might be different for different types of bikes. You could then use it freely to remove your freewheel . But if you cannot find the right one, then it is time to go to the bike shop for a little help.
Cone wrenches
These are particularly useful for repairing your bike hubs. This is because you will need the cone wrenches for loosening or tightening the bearing cones.
Derailleur tab alignment tool
This will be used for adjusting the derailleur back to place, if it is misaligned from a bike crash.

setting up a Front Derailleur on my Mountain Bike.?
hey,
i have recently changed my shifter to an X.9. and have a Shimano Deore front derailleur. my first question is, are they compatible together?
secondly, how do you set up the cable tension from the start? everything i've read/watched just shows how to fine tune the derailleur, and doesn't mention how to install the cable on the derailleur? do i just pull it tight enough to get rid of the slack in the line and then clamp it? or do i have to break out the plyers and wrench on it to get it really tight?
thanks.
first set the low stop limit screw so that it sit aligned over the small chainring. then pull cable taunt and tighten not too much just till you see the cable compress. then bak off the low limit screw 1/2 full turn. turn crank and adjust barrel adjuster on shifter to take slack out of cable. shift through the gears to make sure they work right. fine tune will be needed later as cable stretches.
