Chicken Beast’s Entry -
Let me start off by saying that I’m a complete newbie to the bike scene. When I found out that its usually a good idea to have some basic tools with you when you ride, I did what any newbie, blue collar, mountain biker would do, I went to Wal-Mart and bought the cheapest thing I could find.
While I was totally unimpressed with the huge, clunky, seeming to weigh 5 lbs, $9 Bell multi-tool at first, it has since become a critical piece of my bike equipment. Sure I might like something sexier, lighter and more functional but then again would I want to take a fancy multi-tool, lay it on top of a bent chain link and then smash it with a boulder like I did last night to fix my friends chain and keep our epic (in our minds anyway) ride going? I think not!
Chain repair with a $9 multi-tool and a big rock… If that’s not blue collar mountain biking then I don’t know what is!
