I finally used the 1.5mm Allen for something other than a pick.
Replacing the battery on my Fox digital shock pump. Four ridiculous tiny screws holding it together.
I can sleep better now.

After coming precariously close to losing this cable & housing deep inside Mrs Jm2e's seat tube last night, this bent spoke was 1000x better than any tool in existence. Pretty sure I would have needed the shop to save my ass if I hadn't hooked it.
A lot of tools I made do with existing non-bike stuff I had laying around but bike specific park cable cutters made cable replacement way easier

I’m almost embarrassed to admit I paid $25 for this when I can grab syringes at work. But Jesus it’s so nice. Wish I’d bought it years ago.

Don't be embarrassed. That is a very nice tool and I like the idea that the tube goes past the valve stem into the tire. That keeps the core from getting all gummed up with sealant.Quote:

Does that have Presta and Schader?Quote:

Yeah you just rotate the head. Like most Park stuff, it's pricy but once you get used to it, you can't imagine using something else.Quote:

Park DT-3. Makes precision-truing your rotors easy. Ok, it' still a bit of a a PITA, but you can consistently get them true to less than the thickness of a sheet of typing paper. Which is exactly what I use to decide when I'm done: when the gauge is not rubbing the rotor at all, but it's so close I can't slide a piece of paper in there, anywhere on the rotor.
Hmm. On a surf trip so I can’t go into the garage to see if my park stand has a place to mount one of those but I love the idea. Just don’t remember my stand having a bar to clamp that on. How does it attach?

The bar comes with the DT-3 tool. From the DT-3 page:Quote:

Best Answer: DT-3 can only be used with the newer TS-2. TS-2.2, TS-4 and TS-4.2

However, if you're motivated, you could certainly use it with a TS-1 (or other brand of truing stand) - all you'd need is to drill a small-ish hole. The bar is secured by a screw/washer on the other side of the arm (the hole in the arm is not threaded - the machine screw's threads engage threads in the bar). Here's the hole, in a TS-2.2 (which is what I have):

Here's a pic of the attachment screw/washer (unmounted, obviously):

my Park stand is at least 20 yrs old, shop bro said 27.5/ 29/ FAT rims might not work ?
anybody had experiance ?
Should work with 27.5, since that's standard roadie wheel size. 29's would probably work too, but maybe only with the tires off (fats: same, I'd guess).Quote:

Good info skizix. Thanks.

I attached some extensions to mine so I could fit 29ers with tires on.Quote:
