I like my cheap imported stuff as much as everyone else. But this is a great reminder to buy American made when you can. And I hope they have an executive suite for Calvin!

Agreed. Bought a Cyclospirit derailleur hanger alignment gauge tho king it couldn’t be too far off from the big boy version. It wasn’t that much cheaper at like 49$, compared to like 79$ I think for the dag2. It was basically unusable. The main connector has slop in the fitting and thus has no way of properly aligning the hanger, and is basically good to get it in range but not really a precisely aligned setup. Fine if you want to tune an 8 speed but bring it into modern drivetrains and it’s trash. But once cry once when it really matters

WOW. Just super impressed the they have their entire R&D, design, testing, manufacturing, sales, support, shipping, & literally everything else under one roof! It feels so… _old fashioned!_ But like, in a really good way ☺️ - Also, just love the clear thought and care they put into everything, from the quality of their products, to the way they treat their workers. It makes me feel good about paying a premium to always get the _BEST._ And, I love the brilliance of being super open about the bike shop 😆 - by encouraging their employees to use it for everything (even their own or friends & family’s bikes), they’re simultaneously improving their worker’s experience, and widening the range of different bikes & parts they get to test their tools on, ensuring that problems/new needs are found, and that their products remain always the best 😊.

When you're tired from a job that uses your computer all day, Park Tool videos can cheer you up. I'm going to try a little harder. Sometimes you may want to adjust your bike a bit. Thank you very much. I can't buy too many products, but I have PCS-10.3, TS-8, TM-1, SW-0, TW-2.2, TWB-15, MWF-3, AWS-1, HT-8, CNW-2, PH-5, SCW-13~15, CC-3.2, and recently I bought an AV-1 and BBB-4 (kindle) for myself. I gave the MTB-5 as a gift to a colleague who is retiring from the company. Except for PCS 10.3, most of the tools cost less than 3,000 yen, so they fit my budget. I use LC-1, PPL-1, HPG-1, and ASC-1 all the time. Someday, like Calvin, I would like to be able to adjust the cup and cone ball bearings on the hub well.
