to loan me their chain tool "i'm not allowed to do that" he said, so i had
to buy one and fix it in the dust outsode the shop.
I don't mind helping people out when they're in a real jam,
but I'm also wary of tool moochers and frobnicators.
/Nobody/ but me touches my chain tool. The pins in those
things are too easily bent by the ham-fisted.
If I met you on the street and you had a flat and needed
to borrow a pump, and you absolutely insisted on doing
the pumping yourself, I'd lend you my crappy old plastic
Mt Zefal Mini 2-Shot that I've already blown up and had
to bandage with duct tape. I reserve the good, alu-barrelled
Planet Bike pump exclusively for myself.
Quoted message said:i would like to
discourage others from going there.
Why? Aren't their chain tools any good?
Speaking of which, I like the cheap-o Rivoli tool better
than the Park one. It's handier to manipulate, and I
have an aesthetic fondness for browned steel.
regards,
Tom
