Love these Park Tool Tech Talks. I even watch the ones I have no intention of doing as Calvin is a great host, keep them coming.

Probably used his gf's bike for the video so he doesn't fuck up his own bike.

Maybe because in previous Tech Talk they used Rock R-001 tool to bend derailleur hanger and they can't return it back to Giant dealer

But it is really nice woman specific enduro bike

You know, I forgot my truing stand, but I did remember to bring an axe, so all good.

See if we all ran 26, 24 or 20" wheels we definitely wouldn't be having wheel issues when we're riding.
Totally scientifically proven

Or just go back to Mag wheels. Bend 'em and chuck 'em in the freezer to straighten. (Or was it the oven? I can never remember which ends up with a melted wheel!)

I still run 26" and 24" on the same bike. The rocks just move right outta my way when they see me coming. THAT'S science right there. I've seen it happen.

@bigtim: Freezer with Skyway Tuff II. Skyway's still around - I nearly got black Tuff2 on my 24" lime green NS to match my son's strider exactly!
ACS wheels were flexy as anything. Do not touch.

A beard like that gives so much confidence you can rep a ladies bike all day....

I keep zip ties on my seat stays as ghetto truing needles for all occasions.

Proves that fixing your bike is as fun as riding it.

depends... if you're hairy enough to go outside without a jacket then go for it. if you're talking facial hair then I find a nice full beard to be a better fashion statement than animal fur that doesn't even keep you warm on your hood.
