This is my set. Not pictured, but always carried: Motion pro tyre lever/spanner that also holds the blue socket adapter in above picture. 2 regular 28mm tyre levers and a Mosquito CO2 hand pump. Rolled in a sheet of thin cloth that I use as my "work bench" while doing road side repairs. Keeps the tools clean and prevents me losing bolts and other parts that I have to remove while working on the bike.

£120 for a flipping chain tool. Are you serious. doh




Who buys that !! Seriously !! :blushing:

Which one? The Terra-X is only $115 which is less than a dollar/ grams. :D

Oh, and they're awesome.

and Ted, those be Ozzie dollars! .... ( did a bear did do your conversion?!) :smiliex:
$105 Oz is approx £62.20
It is a clever bit of engineering, very small, light and it works really well-
Way better than 'bashing a link in with a rock' but perhaps not as macho!! :innocent:

Bertrand..

I don't know how much longer I can BEAR these terrible puns doh


:9898::devil2:

You'll just have to grin and bear it :blushing:..... until such time as you post up the pictures of your Yukon trip :thumbup1:
A promise, after all, is a promise Ted!

Here's a few to wet your whistle......... jeiger

Hi Bertrand, thanks for the information, I see on the Terra X website they are currently out of stock, I will see if they make any more - I could get rid of a few wrenches with the levers and spanner end set, so hopefully there's enough interest.

Nice pics Ted! thank you- got one of you in the canoe? :Beach:
I love that Norcom ship picture- fabulous! You should start a new thread with those:thumbup1:

Grif- you are welcome- Out of stock may (alas) be permanent- you might want to drop Keith a note as he did say that he calling it a day.

Cheers Bert... Bit off topic but you did ask..

I'm can't share too much. I'm meant to be writing a few articles about the trip but I keep forgetting to get round to it.

One incredible journey though..

One of me in Canoe in one of the only calm places to take it....

Fabulous and not a .... :blushing: in sight! (close call !)

Bertrand, I have let Keith know I'm interested, we shall see how much interest he gets for another batch.

Aerostich also makes good Titanium tyre levers, but with sockets that slide onto the levers, as opposed to a ring spanner, however the socket sizes are limited:

Ted, that looks like a great trip, nice photos!

I never did reply Ted, sorry. My screwdriver is a basic handle with reversible flat and Philips head so prefer the oil filter tool. It's not such a difficult place to access but the tool saves a lot of frigging around. I can also use it as a dish to hold nuts/small bolts of other areas I'm dismantling. The third use is a party hat held on by dental floss:smartass:

The c-spanner is for the front shock. The rear has a preload dial and because I travel fairly light with gear, it's set low. I adjust the front to match. When I hit some off-road I lift it right up for max clearance and travel. No other tool will do it. And yes I do adjust suspension regularly as terrain requires.

I haven't found other uses yet but I will eventually. Like I said though I have kept things that I can and will do on the side of the road.

So there are my reasonings!!

PN

Chewing gum.

Very useful for holding things in place while you get things fixed properly - I'm talking about awkward nuts that fall out of sockets and that sort of thing. Tasty too.

Velcro cable ties - a truly excellent invention.

You know the K&N spin on oil filters have a nut on the end so you can use a 17mm ring spanner or some pliers which may already be in your tool kit
