my new Ratchet Tool Wrench Repairing MTB mountain Bike Quick Hand release socket

Bikehand Bike Bicycle Repair Tool Kit with Torque Wrench - Quality Tools Kit Set for Mountain Bike Road Bike Maintenance in a Neat Storage Case

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm buying tools that would help me do work on my mountain bike. I decided to get a ratchet tool wrench that would make it much easier and faster. I used to study in a technical class and went on to study automotive engineering. Though, I never went on to further my studies or work in the auto industry.

Anyway, since I got my current mountain bike, I've been buying parts and changing them myself. For some reason, I enjoyed doing it. Kinda relaxing. Funny, I wasn't really interested in working on cars back in my school days.

Of course, working on a bike is much easier than a car. One thing for sure, working on a car or a bike, you need tools. I had a problem just changing the brake cable the other day because my old cutter wasn't good enough. Hence, I decided to get a new cable cutter.

Once the cable cutter arrives, I might change my rear brake cable next. Just wondering what cable housing color I want to change to. I already changed my front brake cable with new red housing. It's coming around nicely!



14 Pc Extra Long Hex Bit Sockets Allen Wrench Mm+SAE

Nowadays, bike makers don't use screws with the minus or plus head anymore. All you need now is an Allen key. I saw a video where the bike tech use a ratchet to tighten all the screws. Looks pretty easy to work with than fumbling with your screwdrivers.

Okay, you might not fumbles with tools but I do, a lot. I also have a problem with my hands going numb and now it actually hurts to whole things for long. I don't know why. I didn't go and see a doctor. You might laugh but my left-hand middle finger is now permanently numb.

Okay, you can laugh about it. I might have broken some nerves in my hands or something. It's getting harder to work on things. I can't even hold my bike grip for long without getting numbs. I'll have to shake it off while cycling.

In spite of the problem, like I've said before, I still love doing bike work. I pretty much got used to doing things and stopping halfway to let the numbness go away. Right now, I'm typing with the numb in my middle finger. I'm practically just using the fingernail to type.

When I bought the ratchet wrench, I didn't think of getting the Allen key socket set. Now that I have the ratchet wrench, I need to order them. It'll definitely be easier and faster for me to work with a ratchet to screw and unscrew the Allen hex screws.

My ultimate work will be to change my bike crankset and front bike fork. I have never changed them before so I'm trying to buy all the tools that I needed before starting. I don't want to halfway through only to find out I needed a special tool or something.

My foldable folding mountain bike at Japanese Cemetery Park

I need my bike to commute between home and work. I still have my other foldable bike. So, just in case, I f**k up the bike, I can use it. Anyway, at the moment, I'm just relaxing at home before going out on a planned bikepacking trip to more nature parks trails.

Hey guys,

Check it out!

First off, my niece who is staying with me, and my mom got infected with the Covid-19 virus. I don't know which variants and she's not sure how she even got infected. She came back from her shooting training and tested positive. None of her colleagues were infected.

The good news is that both my mom and I tested negative. Kinda a miracle. Even her brother who was showing her some martial moves at my sis house, we were celebrating her birthday, he just learn at his police academy was negative.

My niece looks ok and I guess she got a mild version of the virus. Maybe, that's why we didn't get infected too although we were living together. We usually don't use the same plates or cups to eat and drink. She sleeps in the main hall while my mom and I have our own rooms.

I use the main toilets while she shared with my mom. We live in a public apartment building. So she could have got infected while returning home. Somebody in the building or the common area might be infected. There are many scenarios on how we can get infected.

Anyway, yesterday I realized while Whatsapping my friend why my front brake cable seems to get shorter. I had bought a bike stem extender and spacer to make it higher. I have a slipped disc and making the handlebar higher would stop me from having back pain.

That's why I decided to get a new brake cable kit. I should have bought a cable cutter too because all my old wire cutters weren't sharp or good enough. I had a problem cutting the cable. The cable keeps unwinding and won't move smoothly when I test the brake.

I only realized the problem of my brake not working normally when I took out the cable from its casing. I end up using a new cable line but this time I try cutting it nicely so that the cable won't unwind when I insert it through the casing again.

This time, it went through smoothly and I didn't have to redo the fitting on my bike. After adjusting the brake cable tension it now works as it should. And, I must say, I like the bright red color in contrast to the black ones. I'm already thinking of buying a different color set for my rear brake.

It's funny when every time I thought it'll be easy to change my bicycle parts and I end up stuck for hours trying to take it out or fit in a new one. You really need to have the right bike tools before you do anything. But, at the end of the day, I feel it's really worthwhile.

I learned from the needless mistakes that I made and I felt more confident in fixing my own bike. I already felt regret giving away my old pink mountain bike. I could have done work on it and made it seems new again. Well, you learn from your past mistakes.

Fit into my new gold color two-finger brake.

Now, the brake cable is not too tight because I raise the handlebar higher. I might buy a different color set next time. How bout green or white or maybe yellow? It's actually fun to DIY and work on your own bike. I've already noticed people eyeing my bike at traffic stops.

A guy at work claim how beautiful my bike was. I think it was yesterday that someone on youtube commented about my colorful handlebar. I'm planning to get a colorful crankset for my bike soon. I need to buy some tools first before I get them.

What do you guys think?
