Top row: Spoke tensiometer, Spoke Keys, Tyre Levers, chain wear tool, Chain Cleaner, Screw driver for spokes.

Middle Row: Chain Splitter, Bottom Bracket Tools, Crank Puller, Pin Spanner, Cone Spanners, Cassette Tools.

Bottom row: Chain Whip Headset spanners, Pedal spanners, Splined Bottom Bracket spanner.

Note on chain wear tool: If the 0.75% side goes easily in to a chain on a 6-10 speed cassette, the chain needs replacing. On a 11-13 speed cassette, it would be at 0.5% - do judge this as when the 0.75% side only just starts falling in.
