ohh, so if I use one of those I might stop breaking shit. Kind of like using a pair of vise grips to take your rear axle off?

[Mike]

They forgot the three most important ones:

1. Being able to say "Yes Dear"
2. Being able to say "No Dear"
3. Knowing when it's appropriate to say 1, or 2, above

a pair of vice grips wont fit on my rear axle... its a 46mm nut, and its staked in place.
but you dont touch the axle to change the tire.. the tire is held on with a 27mm nut.


in anycase, id relate it more to a bashing the eccentric bearing adjustment teeth with a screwdriver and hammer, while not realising you're going the wrong way because you're too inexperienced to look at the brake caliper bracket and see what way the bearing is adjusted.

[Turbo storm]

Hey Barry. I keep zip ties in my bikes tool kit. Matter of fact, it helped a Honda this past weekend, didn't it?
I would keep duct tape too, but I have not figured out a way to make good looking saddlebags for a sportbike.
As for JB weld....I got some of that holding my bike together...I'll let everyone guess what part as I ride in front of them.....Dan da man
