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.

[QUOTE=MattTuck;1862806]Ferrari Tool Kit for you car lovers.

that is a very nice one! If you want one more modern, they're available here for $795:

http://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/p...roducts_id=430



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!

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.

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!

http://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/p...roducts_id=430

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.
