So I found out I am missing something from the kit. Those with Instagram and are following me would have seen that I am missing a spanner to take the back wheel off my bike. It was taken from me by airport security when I visited melbourne the other week.
A bit of a walk home… past a bottle-o first though.
So how many of you are now thinking more about this EDC stuff? What do you think would be useful and what do you think is a bit of a waste?
I am looking into a leatherman myself and a bit of a flashlight. I don’t always have my bike lights with me.
Did you take a bike with you? Always remember to chuck all the shit you need to put the bike together, in with the bike. Gives you a lighter bag, too :3
Nope, i didn’t take a bike with me. It was just a small spanner that I had that found itself in the corner of the bag (the bag I commute with) Didn’t even realise it was there at the time.
Yeah, I never ride with a front light, don’t usually have a need for it, even in winter. But Keith, those led lenser lights are awesome, and WeightWeenie approved to boot! I may be in the market for one if you end up bringing some in…
When I am not building bike frames, growing corals in a lab or selling truffles, I manage the retail side of Dads business, we design, manufacture and sell equipment for the Military, Police, Ambos, Fire brigade, army man wannabees etc etc
I tried lining up a project with Thales for my thesis when I finished UNI… But I think they thought I was just some gun-nut ha ha. I should have pulled some strings thru my sporting contacts instead, grycol, PBA etc. could have been doing something I like/wanted instead!
I bought my Spyderco from ebay and had no issues getting it through customs, it did seem to take a long time in the post though.
This would be of interest to me, depending on how far the mates rates extends. PM me if an option, I’ll take a look on the Leatherman website to confirm what I’m after.
And re the truffles, my little bro moved up to Sydney this year, and I am hoping that he can sell some truffles at one of the markets in Sydney this year
And if that doesn’t happen I can hook you up anyway
