Dental picks, waterproof grease, slickoleum, fork seal drivers, Pedro's DH tire lever, torque wrench, flat ground top cap sockets. Magnetic bolt holders, soft jaw vice covers.

I have been looking at that DH tire lever… does one have to be extra careful so the metal on the lever doesn’t damage the rim or rim tape?

Probably - but that's true with any lever.

I've been using the Cush Core Bead Dropper - works nicely.

never damaged anything using it. just have to be careful how you use it. mynesweepers tire inserts recommends using them to make installation easier

Any body looking for Black Friday deals?

I started looking around even though I don’t have the funds and usually buy used.

No, but a first aid kit is handy. I have a pre-built one in my pack and it’s come in handy for myself and for others. You never know what you’re going to run into or who!

Yes, you do need to be careful with that lever, but there are times it's the only lever that works. It's also great for popping fork seals out of the lowers.

I really like the Cush Core bead buddy. When installing a new tire with inserts it says so much cursing.
