Garage Shop: Tools

That prybar with the adjustable head, is a awesome tool. It's also made in a few other lengths.

 

sure is. makes some jobs much easier.adjustability is a lifesaver.

 

What’ja do with all your sockets?

 

Traded them in on adiustable wrenches,sockets are over rated.

 

I've always got a kick out of the tool list needed to assemble a bike. Pliers & Adj. Wrench goes a long way, haha

 

As long as you don’t need to ever loosen or tighten those stripped bolts!

 

But adjustable wrenches are perfect when the fasteners are Cambodian instead of inch or metric.

 

Then you need to buy better bikes!

 

Depends on the bike. The one tool I never have and only had to make use of once was a cassette wrench to get the sprockets off. Downside is when I needed it, I REALLY needed it. Speaking of, that Park Tools manual you sent me came in handy the other day working on the new steed! Thanks again.

 

We need some pics of you doing 15’ drops on it!

 

Like actual 15 footers or @disconnected scale 15 footers?

 

Oh I think some actual 15’ would be much more entertaining!

Seen some pretty crazy guys in Whistler. I was not one of them. Far too old and broken for what they were doing!

 

LOL, so I can buy my dentist a new Yeti with my insurance co-pay? No thanks.

Biggest one I semi-routinely hit is about a 6 to 8 foot drop depending on how fast you hit it. That's big enough for me.

 

lol agreed. I have a hard tail so that makes a great excuse.

Nah man... don’t wanna mess up the bike.

 

Park FTMFW

 

I prefer Unior, but park stuff is easier to find stateside. Their manual is great too!

 

Goddamn, I mean, I say, old chap! That some cool fecal matter right there...

I had no clue about them. Just now trying to resurrect my cycling self after a crazy few years.

 

Ugh...I need a bigger garage. I share a two-car garage with my upstairs neighbor, but working in Boston and wanting a short commute means I'm renting a 2 bedroom despite living by myself since I needed a garage. Still managed to fit two motorcycles and a car in there. The Tacoma has to sleep outside (not that it could fit in the garage anyway ).

Using this thread to inspire my next place, hopefully one that I own...


Barely fits:

 

You sure you didn’t want to just have an excuse to show a pic of your Por-sha?
*(proper Porsche pronunciation)

 

Yeah, Boston’s tough for parking. A spot to rent can be more expensive than the rent for your 2 bedroom..
