help me choose a tool kit
Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide between these 2 tool kits:
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-S...iece-14426.htm
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Li...it/5360031531/
they are prety much the same price. I know they dont have everything i need but I've been using my friends tools for a while now, its time to get some of my own. I ride a fixed gear bike, so which of these would be more useful?
has anyone had experience with these? opinions?
also (dumb question maybe) is the bb wrench in the wiggle kit useless to me as i have a square taper bb?
thanks in advance

I'm in a similar position, I reckon I might go for the Wiggle one.. Seems to have a few more specialised tools you can't just pick up cheap at a DIY store (adjustable wrench/allen keys/screwdrivers etc)
My reason for getting one is, I've come to the point of requiring those special tools, i.e. BB Remover, chain whip etc.
That's just my oppinion though!
