use it again... lol

all my blackburn tools have lasted pretty well, never have had to use the warranty... sounds like you have bad luck....

I have yet to find a multi tool that lasts for me. I carry in my right jersey pocket: A ratchet with a 15mm socket, 3wrencho a spare tube, co2 cartridge, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm hex wrenches. Middle: hozan lockring wrench, lezyne co2 inflator, camera, left pocket: Phone, wallet.

those sound like some packed ass jersey pockets! lol
after a few months of abuse, i'll tell you how this AirFix holds up.

I figured out how to have them situated in away that you hardly tell it in there.

Parktool MB-3. $24 and I've never had a problem. And it has a top-quality chain breaker to boot.

Snapped one.

that looks like a hell of a tool... man

I have a Crank Brothers Multi 17. It's lasted me a year, and it's my primary tool as I don't have a home kit.

Went to work, then to class, had Thai food with some friends, swapped a 48T chainring for my 46T in hopes that it will make riding my rollers a little less... aerobically exhausting. Went on a 5 minute ride and I think it's going to be a bit better.

I have a soft spot for anything CB's... they're amazing.

Today I:

Started moving all my crap into my new room (roommate moved out and I'm taking her old room BECAUSE LOFT BED).

Here is the start of my bike corner/work area. Soon to have a proper bike stand.

Nice.

my open pro cds came in today, way more grey than black in person. tired as **** now though so probably won't finish them up until tomorrow

I set up my first set of disc brakes, and my first set of V-brakes. Holy hell I had no idea what I was doing. Took me like an hour D:

What neighborhood do you live in?

I have black hubs and spokes for mine. But can't decide whether to use silver nipples or black. I'm leaning towards silver.

What are you using?

Dont want to start a whole thread on this topic so imma ask here, if sopa gets passed will it effect bikeforums?( I iz politic newb)

It's not getting passed, at least in its current state. But if it did, yes, bikeforums would be affected. Bikeforums would be held responsible for anything its users post. Really good explanation here (youtube).

It probably would've, but it got shot down. The blackouts yesterday were successful.

I think you mean IB-3. I carry one, but have yet to try the chain tool part. I got mine for only $20 from RG.

Yesterday my main place of employment and favorite bar, along with some friends apartments across the street from mine went up in flames. Pretty bummed/out of a job.

Damn man. Electrical fire?

black spokes with silver nipples.

The investigators were there all night but we haven't heard for sure. Most likely, the building is pretty old. Can't collect unemployment so let's hope reconstruction is speedy. Just stoked none of my friends got hurt.

Good to hear about your friends. Death by fire is one of my worst nightmares.

The Mission, near Dolores Park. The loft bed was made by my now-ex-roommate's master carpenter friend. It's pretty damn sweet.

Nice. I don't even want to ask about your rent.

Today worked out my budget for a new frame and it turns out I miscalculated my earnings and now I have $50 more towards it. Puts me at $450, though I will likely still save more. I want to make a big jump this time.

Where in SF do you live redpear? I'm scouting out prices in different areas, I want to move up next year.

Today, I received my SE Draft Coaster, only to find out the fork is defective and will need to be replaced. The left dropout was either made wrong or damaged prior to painting to the point where the wheel axle won't fit at all. Overall, the bike quality is pretty crappy, so maybe I'll just return the whole thing. Certainly not worth the $279 I paid for it. I emailed CityGrounds, and am waiting to hear back from them. Their phone line just said "all agents are busy, leave a message."
