What Essential Tools Should I Get? | Q&A With Park Tool’s Calvin Jones

Owen is one of the bike mechanics here at GMBN and GCN, he's a bike nerd! So much that people call him 'Owen The Bike Nerd', since Owen started helping out on GMBN Tech in front of the camera he's wanted to sit down and chat with one of the greatest bike nerds of all time Calvin Jones.

With over 15 years of experience as the renowned Director of Education at Park Tools and the author of arguably the most famous book in cycling, the Big Blue Book Of Bicycle Repair, Calvin's expertise in bicycles and mechanics is unmatched. ????️
