    Anyone able to recommended a good "all in one" tool kit for routine bike maintenance and repairs as I never seem to have the right tools when working on my bike. It needs to include BB30 bearing removal/insertion tools as well as all the right tools for cassette, crank, wheel bearings, chain, etc.... and torque wrenches so I do not over-tighten things.

    Do not want to spend more than €100 (inc shipping if ordering online).

    Thanks!

    You'll do very well to get that for under €100.

    Torque wrenches and BB tools aren't cheap.

    I was in the same position as you. I never actually bought one (I trust my mechanic and he always gives me good value for money) but I got some good advice here:
