You are indeed correct that I would like to fix my bike myself whenever possible.
I will buy some Hex wrenches this week, I know they'll be very useful (for many things). Could you recommend a really decent multi-function tool (such as one of the Topeak tools)? I know some of these things are made in China and are pretty flimsy, so it's always good to have decent tools...
