danfox23 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 To build a trials bike are there any hi-tec very expesive tools needed or can you use some basic motobike tools like wrenches. i llok at the tools on tartybikes but some of them looked like very expensive version of the tools you could get at halfords. Is there any tool that is needed that is only used on trials bikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elson Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 The tool you will most be needing is probadly a bottom bracket tool, other then that, spanners and allen keys. Get some decent allen keys from halfords for about £5 , or you could go with the best bike tools which are park tools, but that is expensive. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 (edited) Not really, just standard bicycle tools like bb tool, allen keys, spanners.A few parts like middleburn crank lockrings require special tools,but thats about all I can think of. Also you may need a bleed kit for hydraulic brakes if you are using them and want to cut the hoses down.
