When I was around 10, my friends and I spent a day playing with a big cardboard box. One of us had a house with a big staircase so we took turns getting sealed in the box with a couple of cushions or pillows and the others threw the box down the stairs. The 70s - Good times.

[@katydid5088]

We had a freaky ancient staircase in my grandparents barn that we put a tarp down and then wrapped another one on couch cushions (that we weren't supposed to be using this way for sure, We got spanked for it after we got warned the first time.) And slid down from the top. For context, my grandparents farm house was built in 1902 and the barn in 1904. All the staircases are built for functionality. Steep as hell with tiny added railing, going to tiny box ended bedrooms. My grandparents didn't care about having electricity through out the house till I was a teenager. So, no lights or heating or cooling after dark. You brought up a flashlight or used one of the gas lamp fixtures in the wall. The only modern thing about that house was that they put skylights and a modern kitchen in beside the bathroom. They kept the 1920s wood stove for emergencies in the downstairs for when the power went out. But getting back to the windows, they served as vents and excellent places to climb up onto the roof and look out when your room got too hot. One of my cousins went sledding off the roof from those. Again not with anyones blessing. If I remember correctly, my brother put him up to go first because he thought of it, but chickened out by the time they built the landing. They only managed to do it once because it sounded like God or Satan was plaguing the house with hellfire when he slid off. My grandparents were too steaming mad (and now that I recognize it, scared) to discipline them for that one. Ah, good times.

[@Road2Whatever]

This doesn't make any sense. If a nut is stuck, a vise grip is the worse thing because it only grabs the nut on two places. An actual wrench would be way better for a stuck nut since it grabs in all 6 sides. I think your point is that vise grips are better for random things that get stuck, not bike parts lol

[@SamCyanide]

@@Road2Whatever usually can't fit an actual wrench on a rusted nut because the rust messes up the shape so much. If it's not rusted bad enough to mess.ip the shape then you prolly don't need vise grips yeah. Also a wrench only grabs in 2 places technically as well. Unless you're using one of those 12 point sides on a box wrench which is gonna make it way worse. Some vise grips actually make a hex shape when closed for additional grip

I like to use a mini vice grip while adjusting cable tension on brakes. Clamp it as lightly as possible onto the cable right next to the clamp on the brake or derailleur, and it keeps the cable from pulling out all the way when you loosen the screw. Makes it super easy to make very slight adjustments to get those brakes just right. I work on a lot of older bikes before barrel adjusters were a thing.
