They're running 15% off this weekend on tools (and pumps and other stuff).. anything a "must have" for a newbie?
I'm one of those guys who believes a floor pump is a must have. Maybe not an immediate need but a major plus on quality of life. Tires will deflate over time and a floor pump is so much easier than a frame pump to get to high pressure.
A frame pump or CO2, seat bag, a patch kit with levers, and possibly a spare tube are must haves, right after the brain bucket. Two water bottles and cages are a good idea too, especially if you live inany kind of heat and/or humidity.
