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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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?

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.

GMJ 01-19-12 11:37 AM

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.
