I can't believe I needed the hook
on: April 14, 2018, 03:47:28 PM
I'm driving my MTB all season to kinda get/stay fit... like aging men do  :whistle:
Anyhow, I removed the light last week as I had some days off and drove in bright daylight.

Today I did some needed maintenance and wanted to put the light back on. I struggled to get that rubberring back into its place with my fingers. Those rubberrings are very stiff and wriggle off the fingers at the last moment always.

Then I remembered that often neglected tool hidden on the backside of those modern style SAKs  :D  and gave it a try.
And it was very useful  :tu:



Hooked it in, pulled it into place, turned it around and let the rubberring slip in.

Very nice.  Looks like merit badge material to me for sure!  :)

What kind of bike are you riding these days?

Thanks Myron,  it's a Cube entty level MTB, hard tail. But its Suntour suspension fork is 10 times better than my professional Rock Shocks Judy I had back in 1994  :D
I love driving out through the Irish countryside  :)

Sounds lovely.  My wife lives and works in Connemara for a few months every couple years.  I always thought it would be a great place to ride.
