Now if my FJ Cruiser was Voodoo Blue ...

That rear hanger dealybob, I will have to look into that too.

My LBS will be having some classes later, I especially asked about how to bleed/change the disc pads on hydraulic brakes.

You missed two of the most important tools made by anyone - The derailleur hanger alignment tool and the chain checker. No mechanic worth their salt would ever, ever, ever attemtp to adjust a rear derailleur without first checking (and adjusting) the alignment of the hanger. When I was a full time wrench, I used that tool 10 times a day.

Is this the tool?

Friend of mine just got back from his LBS after having a problem shifting, and they found a few things out of whack with his bike, but they fixed it.

I did a summer wrenching for the Citroen-Citer pro team in France and our head mechanic would thump you with a pedal wrench if he saw you with a three-way allen. Now that I think about it he never said why.[/QUOTE]

That's kind of funny, I wonder why??
I mean, back when bikes had cantilever brakes that was the perfect toe-in-and-tighten wrench
I had some serious withdraw symptoms when the Tri-allen changed from the aluminum center to the round plastic center. Thank goodness Pedros came out with one. It definitely lost some usefulness after the brakes changed though.
