Tree Magnet Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'm asking Santa for that Wolftooth in-bar tire plug kit but it's $50 so he might cheap out on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockshins Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Topeak Smartguage D2. Amazing tire pressure gauge but also goes up to 250 psi so you can use it on your shocks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to look it up. Cool. Never seen that before. What a great idea. The video didn't really show how the sleeve was secured in the handlebar though. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/chain-tire-plug-multi-tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosmithy Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) A lady I work with did this for her husband last year, and she said it was the best gift he ever received (his words). A Hall Pass (NO, NOT THAT KIND...Sheesh) The Hall Pass was for any one day of the year, her husband could go do whatever he wanted, get out of any obligation, commitment, promised honey do, without any questions or explanation. She said it was pretty fun to watch him measure and assess any little thing that came up, that he really didn't want to do, but also didn't want to waste his Hall Pass. So, I figured this would be and idea for a MTB spouse that could use it for a ride day. Edited December 5, 2019 by Yosmithy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 We're trying to do more with gifting experiences rather than material things. So I'm thinking of getting my 12yo son a day pass at Spider Mountain. Stocking stuffers maybe pegs for his BMX bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is not you, and it's the lady that you know, not the husband, I feel okay in saying.. ...THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!! Makes me appreciate my super understanding and accommodating wife all the more. Some years she lets me do TWO things I want to do! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expired dec 3rd at midnight. You might want to keep your eyes peeled for another discount. It’s usually totally worth the money! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife will instruct me to get on a bike if I go more than a day or two with no saddle time because she says it makes me cranky. Bike time is an important part of overall mental health. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olddbrider Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Anybody here have firsthand experience with the Yi Action Camera. Reviews seem very favorable compared to GoPro, especially when you factor in the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
