# Maintenance Tips for Cyclists

Every cyclist should know basic maintenance. The right tools make the job easier – whether you're fixing a puncture or doing a full service.

Start with a quality multi-tool for on-the-road fixes. Add a track pump, chain tool, and basic spanners for home maintenance. Work up to a proper workshop setup if you catch the bug.

Torque wrenches aren't optional with carbon components – over-tightening can cause expensive failures.

DIY maintenance is great, but some damage needs professional help. [Laka covers crash damage](/content/gb?utm_medium=marketplace&utm_source=laka&utm_campaign=tools/index.html) with no excess.
