Zoid is right, nice write up. How do you like the Urban 8, did you try to change a tire with it?
Thank you!I was thinking about adding one to my load bike - It would add everything I need to do roadside tire repairs or basic adjustments, especially in combination with a MP 600 or SAK I usually carry.The weight is not much of a concern with this bike... Might be different on a roadbike.
Thanks for the write up. The imperfection in the steel seems it could just be something getting in the way when the finish was applied, at least by the pic
So what is in your bike kit?
Quote from: styx on August 12, 2015, 12:31:22 PMSo what is in your bike kit?I'm a firm believer in MAINTENANCE over repair.Once a year I replace tires and tubes (and check everything, I also replace the break cables every two years). Commonly the back tire is through and the front tire would still last a couple of month but I like to do all at one time. The tubes I replace as rubber is not known to handle temperature differences well (I ride my bike winter and summer more than 100km a week). Also I don't have a car and a set of tires (Stab proof Continentals only for me) cost less than a parking space for a car would cost per month. So, I can't remember when I had a flat on my main bike (I recently had one on my second bike where I don't do maintenance. And it was a storage damage, the valve was ripped out).As I always go by bike, so I have the bike gear in my regular kit (being prepared is still a good idea even with diligent maintenance). Now this will sound familiar:It consists of 5 items, one of them is fairly obscure... can you guess them? Will take a picture tonight
