Vivente Tools & Extra Spare Parts
In the city, for bike servicing, you might support your bike shop, value their expertise and save your time for other things. But if you head for the road, or the track, you might want to have your own tools.
We take these when travelling. There are a few extra items we take to some places, e.g. a horn in India and Africa.
Steering stabilizer
Ideal for on-road, for bikes with front loads, and for train travel. Your bike has a hook behind the fork crown and an M5 mount under the downtube just for this accessory.
Horn mounting bracket and horn
Ideal for the old world where there are goats and geese and cattle and more on the road. These roads rely on sound and you should announce your presence.
Hex keys
2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 8mm. The 8mm serves as a tightener of the cranks, a crank puller and the tool to remove or adjust the rear Snubber.
Chainwheel Pin Spanner
This is the name but the reason you should have it is in case you want to use the 8mm hex key and extender to pull the cranks off. Use this tool to firstly tighten the outer ring of the FSA Single-Key-Release system.
Headset spacers
6 x 10mm spacers to replace the handlebar stem when the bike is being packed for transportation.
Scissors
Mini scissors just for cutting cable ties when you arrive somewhere and need to reassemble your bike.
