Sonny Clarke Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Hey, i have pretty standard alan keys and there all getting crushed at then ends due to poorness. My mate has proper one's where you actually have a handle, as think as a screwdriver and you simply pick the right size alan and stick it in the top. What one's do use and if anyone knows of good one's like this, please post a link if possible.Cheers, Sonny Edited October 11, 2007 by Clarkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koxxtrials Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 sometimes in shops they sell really crap ones which all go rusty get some good quality ones go on tartybikes.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Im guessing your refering to your mate having Tbar ( its in the shape of a T) alan keys. Ive found them to be very flexy and twist and you cant get bolts with them as tight as you can with a pair of normal alan keys. just buy some that arnt cheap and youll be fine.

Ste Wilson Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Small multi-tools as you can carry them on riders just incase your brake mounts or headset comes loose! That is mine fits nicely in your pocket! also light weight! hope this helps. .ste.http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrym...8c003522m004849 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 You can't beat THESE mate. I've had the same set since 1998 and I've used them for 4 years fixing bikes at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkopity Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 hi mate. being as you dont need a full set, (8,5, maybe 6+3 etc) i just bought em seperate and got the best i could. (parc and snap on) i found all the multi tools and cheaper sets either round them selves off or your bolt head. and once youve had to get medievil with an hacksaw a few times it just makes sense to spend a lil extra....
