I need to put a cheap kit together that will be able to put a bike together and repair/maintain. Ideally it would contain everything needed for mountain, fixed and free gear bikes. So chain stuff, gear selector stuff, oil, whatever. Thank you in advance if anyone answered.

The free wheel removal tool, a chain breaker, a master link tool, BB and crank removal tool and a decent wire cutter and a long metal pipe you can fit wrenches in for applying more torque for me are the absolute basic to own, also get a grease gun maybe a sproke wrench

I carry one of these fuckers everywhere because you never know when you might need to whip it out and make people think you know about bike shit. I've never actually even adjusted my brakes (can't stop don't wanna) but I have a cool "gear" tattoo on my calf, rapha brand black jeans, a brooklyn cap, an old film camera that I have strong opinions about though you've never seen me take a photo let alone seen any of my photos, and I like to loiter at the bike co-op ostensibly to "talk shop" but really to sexually harass young women.

I put together a little kit recently with the following:

-crank brother m19 multi tool
-patch kit
-hand pump with gauge
-chain repair links
-chain/gear brush
-chain solvent/lubricant

Just buy things individually and build the kit that you want.

You don't just go to a store and buy a complete do-it-all kit unless you want to pay big dollar, you buy these things as you need them. Haven't you seen Gran Torino?

That's what I did. I'm not actually convinced it was at all cheaper than buying a complete comprehensive toolkit.

If you listen to the MGTOW DIY cult, you'll need to pre-buy and carry a set of different size spoke wrenches in case you encounter a fair maiden trailside with an out of true wheel and you don't know what size spoke nipples she has, a Hozan digital tension meter, a set of DT Swiss spoke head bearing punches, an Abbey Tools derailleur hanger alignment tool, a set of NJS-legal bar tape shears with matching toolcase from Mugen, a Speedplay brand spindle grease gun, a Hayes laser interferometry disc rotor alignment tool, an AbsoluteBlack ceramic cable crimp/capping tool, a Vittoria carbon/glass fibre tire run-flat road tubeless mounting clamp, and a nice canvas bag to dangle all that shit from your handlebars otherwise you are a buyfag loser who needs mommy to wipe your ass and pump up your tyres for you before every ride, you fucking dweeb, I bet you call a cab every time your chain falls off

I have a CoolTool™ and a set of plastic tyre levers, pretty much covers everything for roadside repairs.

At home if you want to get into deeper shit like servicing bottom brackets and headsets etc you'll need a lot of specialist tools.

When it comes to tools you get what you pay for in terms of quality, if money is an issue you're better off buying good tools second hand rather than shitty brand new ones.
