BBB LinkFix BTL-77 pliers are the ideal tool to open and close KMC Missing Link on your Shimano, KMC or SRAM chain. The BBB LinkFix BTL-77 plier design offers a dual function for both opening and closing a KMC Missing Link. Competitive products offer only a single function and are more expensive options.
In this article I will briefly look at the design and sharing my practical experiences when working with a gold KMC X11 EL chain (the version with a KMC titanium-nitride finish).
The Topeak Nano TorqBit is a 1/4″ hex bit with a fixed preset torque value that you can use with each bit holder and each bit. I personally use it in combination with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench that I reviewed a little while ago, but it also comes in a set called the Topeak Nano TorqBar.
I will also compare the Topeak Nano TorqBit against the Ritchey Torque Key which also has a fixed preset torque value.
The Coin driver Stubby from PB Swiss Tools with the famous SwissGrip handle, is perfect to remove battery covers, plugs and plastic screws. A lot of cycling electronic devices are powered with a CR2032 coin battery. The PB Swiss Tools Coin driver stubby gives you a firm grip and allows you to accurately apply the correct torque on the battery covers, while minimizing the risk of damaging these plastic battery covers.
In this article I will review the Schwalbe Tire levers and compare them with the Tacx Mini Tyre Levers T4885, Fix It Sticks Replaceable Tire Levers and the Pedros Tire Levers.
The Schwalbe Tire Levers have an innovative design feature: the rim clip that can be used when tires are difficult to mount on your rim. I will look at the design, do some testing and share me thoughts on these tire levers.
Erdinger Alkoholfrei Weiss Bier is apparently an excellent isotone recovery drink for cyclists after a long ride.
Tim Wiggins from Life in the Saddle, shared a scientific study under the Be-MaGIC program from the Technische Universität München that concludes: “Non-alcoholic Wheat Beer Boosts Athletes’ Health”
In this article I will have a look at this study and get my hands on a can of Erdinger Alkoholfrei Weiss Bier.
The Wera 813 handle with bit holder for 1/4″ bits is part of the Wera Kraftform Kompakt bit-holding screwdriver series.
Furthermore I will briefly compare Wera 813 Kraftform Kompakt bit holder with the Fix It Sticks Replaceable and PB Swiss Tools 470.M Adapter.
