Hello, Thanks, yeah, we’ve put a lot of effort into the shop. We also need the sales of electric bikes to stay profitable. This week I received a few more new tools. I still needed torque wrenches below 5 Nm, so I bought a full set from Wera, ranging from 0.3 Nm to 6 Nm. I also picked up a...

Hello to you all. The cabinets are from a local importer, called Datona. We’ve just had a very busy weekend. This was our opening weekend, and we can definitely say it was a success. Here are a few photos of the finished shop. These are the owners of a local bike brand that...

My condolences Grant , sorry for your loss.

@Grant Gunderson The work stands are from DBD-Tools from Slovenia, and I also have their brake bed-in machine. I don’t think they have a distributor in the USA. At first I was hesitating between these and the Unior ones, but in the end I went with DBD-Tools because of the ease of use and their...

Hi, it’s been a while again. The past two months have been incredibly busy, but the end is finally in sight. This Friday is the opening of the new shop. The workshop is already up and running. We’re just finishing the last details in the shop now. Unfortunately I didn’t take many photos...

Anybody got experience with the Tektro Bleeding pump?

Maybe make a pair of pliers, in the style of the Cyclus chainring pliers?

Today some new tools for the new shop arrived today ... PB-swiss, Stahlwille , Knipex, Bosch Kind regards, Toon

Hello everyone, best wishes and a healthy 2026 to all! On January 3rd we received the keys to our new shop, and we’ve been working flat out there for the past two weeks. We’re planning the opening for March 7th. The space used to be a hardware/tool shop, so the owner knows me well :) . The...

A few syringes for applying bearinggrease and anti-seize grease. Cyclus thickness gauge ( go/ no-go )

Those Kukko's are expensive, but worth every penny. I als have the 204-0 , the others are also on my wishlist , those single action screw makes them so much easier to use. Kind regards, Toon

Hi Grant, I use these to connect two outer gear cables, so the section that runs through the frame can be reused (if it’s still in good condition). So far they’ve held up well. My main customer base is electric city bikes with Enviolo and Nexus gearing—not sporty bikes—and in most cases the...

Hello, Happy holidays everyone. We’ve received some good news—starting January 1st we’re allowed to begin work in the new shop! I already did some preparations this week. I made a swing door to separate the workshop from the shop floor, to prevent customers from entering the workshop. The...

The Park Tool tire levers have been serving me well for several years now, so I ordered an extra set. I also bought a new crank puller, the old one broke. I had replaced it back then with a handle-less Cyclus model, it’s very good quality, but I find a version with a handle more convenient. I...

Yesterday I got some good news from the owner of the commercial space we’re moving into. It’s mostly been cleared out, and we’re allowed to start working in it. It’ll mainly be painting and setting up the shop, as well as the new workshop! So I’ll be posting a few updates about it here soon as...
