    I think you use them for cars as well, so any place you can get general tools probably carries them- Sears Craftsman is always a good bet since they have a 100% return policy - we even exchanged a very abused screwdriver for a brand new one once without any problems.

    Eden, you have a Ruby Pro right? Do you do your own adjustments?

    I haven't had to change anything on mine since I had a professional fit done, but I did just install a carbon seat post on my rain bike recently. Come to think of it - I'm getting a BB creak, but I think I'll definitely take it to the shop to check that one out.

    Red face Torque wrench

    My train of thought is this: if you own a carbon frame/handlebar/stem and plan on working on your bike... you without a doubt should use a torque wrench!

    +1 I can't imagine working on high end bikes/components without a torque wrench. Trust me, if you get one, you'll be shocked at how much you're over torquing everything! It's a must have if you have a high end bike.
