Pon man, I am tryin here brotha!! I have to wait for some necessary funding to come my way and then it's time to set up shop! I'll be sure to keep y'all posted on my purchases.

Well it's good to brainstorm, get ideas to work toward, etc... I have gotten many around here.

For shizzle.

golfer007,

The one tool suggestion I'll make is to purchase the Park chain break tool that looks like a set of pliers. I forget the model number. It's not cheap - like $40. I know, $40 for a damn chain break tool. Believe me when I tell you - worth every single penny. I certainly don't have a full set of shop tools as I tend to purchase as I need things but I always buy quality and that chain breaker is the pride of my tool box. Absolutely flawless in its' function and takes all the brain work/skill needs out of the job. The tool does all that for you. The family hamster can take the link out of a chain and appropriately seat a pin with that thing.

Haha, well thanks for the suggestion, but I have used the same chain tool that I am going to get many times and it works just fine for me.

Just bit the bullet on the tools. Total came to $262 and change. Really excited for them. They should pay off within a couple bikes!! I will be sure to leave feedback on the stand. It was a killer deal at $85. Out for vacation now....tty
