Travel tool list

Packing the S&S coupler touring bike requires a fair bit of disassembly.  Below is the list of tools that I need for disassembly and reassembly

TOOLS

hex wrenches  2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 mm
-- 2 is for the shift/brake line couplers and derailleur adjustment
-- 3 is for the shift stop on the downtube
-- 4 is for most braze-ons and many adjustments
-- 5 is for crank and head set
-- 6 is for the angle adjustment on my Ritchie stem
-- 8 is for Shimano XT pedals

special hex-like wrenches
-- anti-theft axles
-- brake torx wrench

nut drivers 8, 10 mm
-- these make it easier to install Velo-Orange fenders

-- 8 mm is required for installing Tubus Cosmo rack.
-- 8, 10 are for Velo-Orange fenders (this is a back-up for nut driver).

-- used for cassette and disc brake rotor lock nut tool

chain whip (for removing cassette when re-packing)
