Definitely. I have the Park HMR-8 (8oz dual sided hammer ) on the bench, and it get used regularly. However, that’s the front bench at a bike shop. I’m not gonna take picture of it. Lol.Quote:

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.
Attachment 460580
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.
Attachment 460589
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
Attachment 460587
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.
Attachment 460588
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.Quote:

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.

Have some new pozi and decent flat heads. But even “newer” 20yo phillips are chewed up.
Attachment 460825
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…
Fuck. Just got home and saw this.Quote:

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

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.
Did you order post crash or are you just really prepared?
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Read the thread from the beginning and I’m now more knowledgeable and about $200 lighter.
Attachment 461541Attachment 461542
Only $200? I’m doubting your claim of reading the whole thread.Quote:

$20 Amazon WiFi borescope! Great for seeing things in tight spaces.
Here's the results you get with Tegaderm. 7 days ago my forearm was completely shredded. I had to go to a party that night and multiple people remarked that it looked gnarly.

That’s impressive. Def worth having a roll on standby
That's quite impressive. At that point I've usually managed to make it look way gnarlier than earlier by constantly picking at it. Did you put anything under the Tegaderm? Same piece the whole time or swapping on occasion?
That looks amazing. Their hackzall is cool too.Quote:

For the first 3-4 days the volume of exudate necessitated daily changes. After that I was able to go two days before swapping. Nothing under it at first, then when the exudate volume dropped off I started putting just a little Vaseline on things to help keep it moist. If it's really deep and putting out a lot of fluid and/or still bleeding you can put some non-stick gauze down underneath.Quote:
