Bike Gang!

So, I was riding down Broadway yesterday and noticed a very mondo wobble in my back wheel  (fuck you, cobblestones!). I pulled up and started to look for the nearest shop, when I remembered the new toy I picked up last week.

The term “must-have” gets thrown around pretty egregiously these days, but this little fellow is a certifiably legit must-have.

Granted, the spoke wrench isn’t as nimble as a dedicated tool you’d have in your box, but the Alien II was perfectly serviceable for a quick true-up. I was back up and riding smooth in 5 minutes or so.  While its main use is going to be for field repairs, a novice mechanic can use it for most any basic repairs, without breaking the bank for a complete tool set.  At ~$30, the Alien II is a complete no-brainer.

Final Conclusion:  Cop that!!
