For tubeless mtb I use a hand pump and some soapy water around the bead - for some reason it works really good-just mix up some dawn and water and slather it around and pump - the bibles start coming out and bam- also leave the tire someplace warm or in the sun.

Does that work when you try to resurrect an old tyre?

Yes I used tires that were already tubed and already had sealant and brand new tires -

how do you like 'em? they're certainly sweet. I have the 6mm one and it's very nicely made. not sure I'd like the box though; it's beautiful but not as functional as something to hang them on my pegboard.

personally, I'm still loving the bondhus balldrivers and wiha screwdrivers I got recently.

It's good stuff but you're right - the box doesn't integrate with everything else in your shop and it might get grease marks on the outside if you don't have it open when you start to wrench. I think that's why they went with "Home and Travel Kit." Honestly, though, I'm a little leery about taking it on the road. Everything sits very securely in their spots and there is no ambiguity about what goes where.

However, if that's not good enough, you *need* to buy these titanium wrenches that came standard on the McLaren F1! Three wrenches sizes: 10, 11 (who uses 11mm?!) and 12mm for "only" $1500:

Now that is excessive....Good Luck!

^ that makes the Abbey Bike Tools titanium hammer look cheap (at $180)

[QUOTE=bfd;1863001]If you work on old enough bike components, the need for an 11mm comes up every now and again. (I think I had to use one a couple weeks ago on some Universal 68 brakes, but I'm not positive.) But $500 is juuuust a little rich for my blood for such a device.

Time to bring this thread back to life!

Dropout alignment tools?

Yep, Campagnolo H-Tool.

Very nice! Btw, when was the last time you were able to use it? Does it work with today's frames?

Also, you know that fancy Facom/Ferrari 34 piece tool kit above, its "ON SALE" for only $595!

Don't worry the 3 titanium wrenches are still priced at $1500!

Good Luck!

Sure it does, if the frame is a QR type. ThruAxle 'standards'?..all bets are off.

Just used these on a friends Merckx Corsa Extra with a Zinn installed SP rear triangle.
