Re: Does anyone use metrinch???
Darth, you are not opening a mobike repair shop.
You are a traveller/tourer. Would you want to carry 8 to 10 kgs of spanners for that rare breakdown contingency?
I suggest you look for some of the very 'clever' multi tools. e.g. the Gator Wrench. There are equivalent 2 spanner sets that do the job of the whole ring-spanner and open-spanner sets.

And Darth, control yourself!

Re: Does anyone use metrinch???
if u have basic spanners u can think about adjustable wrench(rs 150-300) but it is useful only in case of easily accessible nuts, good 4 axil nut n handle nut.
cheap kits are also available at ebay.
