When it comes to working on a BMX bike, things couldn’t be more simplistic. Over the years, the amount of tools needed to work on a bike has reduced down to a few essentials to get the job done. You can literally build up most BMX bikes with a 6mm allen key and a 17mm socket. Although that’s two tools the majority of your bike uses, there are still a handful of tools that are necessary, but something you don’t use as often like a crescent wrench or a pedal wrench. If you want something more, check out our BMX TOOL GUIDE or the BMX MULTI TOOL GUIDE if you are on the hunt for a multi-tool that does it all.
“As a beginner riding BMX working on your bike can be a bit intimidating at first. In this video I’m here to go over how simple the tools needed for working on our bikes can really be as well as let you know which ones are absolutely essential.
Yes I forgot to mention a pump and yes I forgot to mention crank pullers, both of which are very essential!” – Brant Moore
