Commonly referred to as a “4th Hand”, the Park Tool Cable Stretcher pulls cables tight.It features one-hand operation with a thumb lock to hold the cable tight while your hand is removed to tighten pull-up bolts and nuts.Made from heat treated steel, chrome plated, and featuring cushion grips for comfort.
This tool makes most bicycle repairs easy, especially brakes. Well worth the investment. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OZBIDO/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
I would agree with the previous comment to buy as you need, BUT if you’re looking for recommendations, two must haves for me are:
Fourth hand
Scribe
It looks very similar to a fourth hand which is used for pulling bicycle cable tight prior to clamping it.
If you can afford that S3, you can afford some decent tools:
cable stretcher
cable cutter
If you shop around, both can be had for about $25 each during sales. Well worth it considering an LBS visit is usually more than $50.
And just to double-check because the pads aren't of the vibrant color variety, but be sure that the pads used on the Zipps are not the pads from use with alloy braking surfaces. Carbon requires a special brake pad.
