Not sure how a lockring tool and a crescent wrench for centerlock rotors, the latter also used for rotor truing, or a Torx bit for 6-bolt, is asking a lot or even expected to be new to any home mechanics' toolbox.

Bleed kits are more or less the same and costs as little as $20 off Amazon.

But sure, Big Bike wants everyone on disc brakes as difficult to maintain as rocket science. Luckily, it's all a long con and you can rest assured that if you wait a few years, they'll reintroduce rim brakes as Bike Classic and all will be right in the world again. Except for the high fructose corn syrup in the frames -- whoops, we don't let on that we know too much.
