Jebus. Hipster tools?I’m not sure what they are...but why not...
Just pretty basic povo tools for me.

But you still get 20,000,000 good karma points to save for another day.Ok, here we go.
Working on the cracked Transition in the carport yesterday, stripping parts to put on the Rune.
Felix asks for a ride to Nerrina to meet a mate for a ride. Quinn will be fine alone for an hour.
Jump in ute, away we go.
Drop him off, and 1/2 way home (30 minutes each way) he calls that he’s found an injured possum. I drive back, help catch it, and let him get back to riding.
45 minutes on the phone trying to find a place to take it. All closed, not answering, or directing me to a woman who also isn’t answering.
Decide to take it to riding mates vet practice. Big down pour on the way. Deep bluestone gutters in front of his practice under water and I can’t see the concrete ramp. I’ve come the wrong way down one way street in a rush, and cars coming other way.
I guess where driveway is...nope. Slam front wheel off side into sharp gutter, destroying tyre immediately.
Roll Ute into a park, drop off possum, come back to change tyre. Pouring rain again, shitty Jack won’t lift high enough to fit spare.
Chock it up, try again, fit tyre and head home to Quinn. It’s now been 2.5h.
Hey home, dry off, go to work on bike again...my 2 best sets of Allen keys and FIIK what else had been left on bull bar when I drove Felix in.
Go driving to find tools on road.
Can’t find.
$470 for 2 new tyres.
$70+ worth of Allen keys. More when I remember what else.
Possum put down anyway.
Seems reasonable to me.Jebus. Hipster tools?

That’s US pricing, $45 on Pushys at the moment. I have the HX Two. Really nice set of hex/torx tools, hmm, maybe I need to grow a hipster beard now...Seems reasonable to me.
Suggest you look at the HX-Two (includes both allan and torx keys) or the HX-Three above which is just a full set of allan keys.When I googled, these came up first. View attachment 359189
I have a set of Wera which are excellent.Suggest you look at the HX-Two (includes both allan and torx keys) or the HX-Three above which is just a full set of allan keys.
Very well made to tight tolerances to avoid rounding out bolt heads
Oh that’s gold. Good luck cleaning now.The young fella is complaining about the front brake on his school bike, and yes looks like contaminated pads and a glazed rotor. Toss the pads, remove the rotor, clean the caliber and check for oil leaks - all good. Give the rotor a good degrease and de-glazing with wet and dry - about 20 minutes of effort. Looks schmick.
Get the new pads out and figure I ought to give everything a hit with WD40 brake cleaner before reassembly to be safe. Do I need to wipe the excess off I ask myself, and proceed to check the instructions on the spray can... wait, this is WD40 silicon lube. Fuckwit.
I bought a 29er version of a bike I already own if its any consolation...Bought another frame today.
It’s the same as one I already have and don’t ride.
It’s an orange.
Ok, that’s worse. Because 29”.I bought a 29er version of a bike I already own if its any consolation...

In your defense, you were buying for the cranks, and you’re still getting those, so everybody wins.this is the same conversation I had with Moorey yesterday!...
I nearly bought an Orange, must be hitting that midlife crisis
