Stipped holes and Helicoil Q
Oh, the venerable Heli-coil! I have used these babies MANY times at my old work, and on my bike. They are rather simple to use, as has been stated. Here's my $0.02...Be especially careful when using a 'bottoming tap', which will be needed when tapping a blind hole. They are tricky to start... -
spd cleats
Grease is good, but a product similar to Zep's 'Groovy', which is an anti-seize, will work many times better on cleats, pedals, etc....stuff taht doesn't usually get taken off much. Anti-seize goop is da shiznit when it comes to removing bolts and screws. -

chain cleaning - brush or scrubber tool?
$25 well spent is great. However, to me, that would be $25 wasted on stuff that I really NEED to spend cash on...new cables, brake pads, a tire, and so on. I have one of the older Park chain cleaners that I received as a birthday gift one year. I used it until I got fed up with the mess... -
