I carry a small bag of loose tools and parts under the saddle. While there may be some weight and size savings to multi-tools, they tend to rip holes in my pocket or are too awkward to be useful. When I need to use two tools at the same time (like adjusting a brake cable), the multi-tool won't work. Most used tools are allen wrenches and do-it-myself borax hand cleaner concoction. I'm with you. I hate multi-tools and see no reason for their existence. That said I do bring one of these on tours and MTB rides after I have been working on the bike, in case an 8 or 10 comes loose: https://www.walmart.com/ip/15-In-1-B...l13=&veh= sem |

That's at the low end of the scale, so I guess it could be called mini. I forgot what I measured for the left hand, but it was less. http://www.topendsports.com/testing/norms/handgrip.htm -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

In most instances, 85lb is not 66kilos 3. 66kg is off the charts strong, according to your chart. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Stop using whatever drugs Tom gave you. 2. In most instances, 85lb is not 66kilos 3. 66kg is off the charts strong, according to your chart. For a long time, I occasionally tested my two-handed grip strength using a bathroom scale. I was able to squeeze the value of my weight. And one year, our university's exercise science faculty gave free physical fitness tests for faculty. Rather than take the time to have us lift weights, etc. they simply measured grip strength, which they said tends to closely correlate with overall strength. Mine was very good, they said. However, I was in the habit of carrying a heavy briefcase home to grade papers or prepare lectures, so I suspected I might have been an outlier. Many years after that, I decided to have fun in one of my classes; I gave them some bicycle related problems. One was to analyze the bending strength of a middle quality bike brake lever, and compare it to the average grip strength of the students in the class, which we measured using the exercise science department's meter. The lever was surprisingly weak, and we proved it by letting the football player in the class squeeze it and bend it. I was pointing out that it didn't need to withstand maximum grip strength, because the bike would skid the rear wheel or topple over the front wheel long before that point. But I confess, by that time my elderly grip strength measured below any male in the class. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Wenger is in Delemont CH, not Illinois. Andrew - I was speaking sarcastically about a "bicycle tool" whose only tool vaguely applicable was a beer bottle opener.
