GiantTjop Posted June 14, 2019 Share Finally bought myself a 29er carbon hardtail once more. Never used my road bike and thought this would make more sense as a type of gravel/road/commute bike Considering how relatively cheap it has been- i'm stoked with the outcome.Still a work in progress... shaper, RossW, Andrew_Smith and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 25, 2019 Share Wolf Tooth Pack Pliers Piece of shoe lace is lighter........., more so if you use your actual shoe's lace Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted June 25, 2019 Share Piece of shoe lace is lighter........., more so if you use your actual shoe's lace Indeed. cheaper too! But my shoes have ratchets and no matter what shoe lace you show me, it won't be as beautiful as this.Nor can a shoe lace hold my quick links so smartly.Oh, and a shoe lace cannot loosen the valve nut thingie - that nearly ruined my ride the other day when I had to tube my tyre.And now that I ride tubeless on the road too, it will go with me on every ride.

Reme Le Hane Posted June 25, 2019 Share Piece of shoe lace is lighter........., more so if you use your actual shoe's laceTrue, but being a tool does not make it the right tool. Nothing wrong with getting the right tool. Honestly, if weight is you'll your concern, the difference between the right tool and the shoe lace is a laxative.

Honestly, if weight is you'll your concern, the difference between the right tool and the shoe lace is a laxative.Very true, just because something can be used for a job does not mean it should be used for the job! I carry the One Up plug and pliers kit with me - it's about as close as you come to a full size master link pliers - it's expensive, but a pleasure to use.
