Halo hex skewers for my bike and slick tyres for the other half's MTB as her tyres have cracked or perished side walls. Schwalbe city jets and her old ones lasted 7 years or so. We're getting post and mid COVID 19 ready. Once it's ended we'll be cycling somewhere nice in the UK I'm certain.
A couple of days before I locked b the rear skewers up, hope qr external cam, still don't know how i did that because the cam was seated right and I really didn't tighten it up plus the lever was opened 90 degrees past the open point or 180 degrees from locked. So I got molegrips. Really don't know how I managed without it! Seriously useful.
It's why I'm still wondering what lovely, useful and highly practical tools for maintaining bikes I've missed out on by making do with spanners, hex, screwdrivers, hammers, ordinary pliers and ignorance!!!! Any suggestions? There's specialized tools but I bet there's some more general tools that are really useful for the home bike mechanic too

1. A pastabike = a Marcato pasta tool with 9(?) zig-zag cutter wheels on spacers on one axle. 10 yr warranty.
Comes apart so you can set as many wheels over your pasta sheet as you need ( eg squares for ravioli).
Gonna beat the hell out of the single wheel that's all I've had for years. A raviolamp is tedious.
2. A pasta book of recipes and sauces that looks like a real keeper.

If you can tie shoe laces, you're over-qualified.
Shule, Atlas, Marcato, Imperia. Imperia pasta machines have the tightest gear set. You can feel it.

With the charity shops all shut due to the virus lockdown I scratch that itch to find a bargain by trawling deep on ebay once a week and take a chance.
