    Eastwing’s “Fireside Friend” is a good addition to any hammer quiver

    I had some new tools from Abbey arrive today. The socket adapter to remove the newer DUB cranks, the pre-HAG tool for quickly checking deraileur hanger alignment with the derailed still installed on the bike, and the new Shimano Steps BB tool for the Shimano E-bike motors.

    I've been using the Park tool for this, but hated it as it didnt have a ⅜ socket drive on it, so it was a pain in the ass having to use it with a socket as well. The Park one is well made as it is steel.

    However the Abbey one is deeper, so it better engages the lock rings and fits the lock rings way tighter. The center recess all perfectly fits over the E-bike motor crank shafts, so it perfectly aligns the lock ring so no chance of cross fitting. It's a way nicer tool than the Park.

    It is common for the E-MTB front rings to work them selves loose.

    So I like adding a bit of Torque seal to the backside (yellow) and some in black to the front side (less visible). Dykem, Vibratight and I believe LockTight all make this product. I like the Vibratight brand the best. This is different than using lock tight as it serves two things, 1, if you are working on a big project marking what bolts have been torqued. 2, more importantly and why I am using it here is its a visual indicator if a bolt has started to loosen up.

    Speaking of tool fitment

    All of these are T25 L to R is PBSwiss ¼ hex drive, PB Swiss ⅜ socket drive, Nepros, Snapon
    The ¼ hex drive PBSwiss has the thickest web and thus seems to fit the tightest, The ⅜ socket drive, has a tapered web, so it seems to grip more the further it fits into the bolt head. The Nepros has the thinest webs. I haven't had an issue with a sloppy fit on typical MTB fasteners, but it doesn't fit as well as the PBSwiss ones, but it's more convent in the ¼ socket drive. The Snapon is total garbage.

    My Wera torque limiting screwdriver can be really useful for a lot of bike tasks, especially with the PBSwiss hex drive bits. HoweverI actually use it the most when mounting ski bindings.

    I have three Chinese POS ebikes in our household, but I’ve never taken them to a bike shop to be worked on because they suck so hard.
    And I don’t think I’m a boomer fuckwad but idk.

    I’ve seen your a few of your bikes…they’re not this and you’re not a boomer.
    Picture snake skin paint scheme, hub drive, but with an empty cavity for a mid-drive motor….26x4.6 with stuck down no-name rear shock.

    Definitely need to treat myself to a nice set but what to do with the old junk? There is always a need for an odd chisel, pick, scraper or a paint can opener…

    Yeah, that stuff’s awesome. Used it post-op on all four of my collarbone surgeries…

    Oh snap, I never knew you could get it in rolls.

    I need to get my hands on one of those.

    The roll is pennies on dollar compared the individual ones. I chewed my forearm up pretty good last Saturday, can't believe how well it's healed already.

    Someone here had mentioned the product before but I had forgot about it until I went to the store to stock up on regular bandages and saw it on the shelf. Grabbed a few at the store to cover me for that day then went to Amazon. That 11-yd roll will hopefully be a >10-yr supply.

    Same stuff as the individual Nexcare bandages, which (though yes more expensive) are pretty awesome. They stick more durably, are more easy to apply, are less obtrusive, more flexible, more waterproof (you can shower in them), leave less residue, and promote faster healing than anything I’ve tried. I get minor cuts almost daily through summer (building trails) and these have revolutionized my healing protocol.

    You can also get a 100-pack of the individual patches on Amazon for $25. That's a quarter of the price you'll pay for them at a pharmacy.

    Nice... I wish I'd known of this 4 weeks ago before I put a crater in my elbow. It's in my Amazon cart now.

    Only $200? I’m doubting your claim of reading the whole thread.

    $20 Amazon WiFi borescope! Great for seeing things in tight spaces.
