Heard my buddy Dave made a mystery soup from a bus stop note, turned out great.

Remember buying my first laser level back in the late 90s and thinking it was the biggest waste of money until I tried to hang a row of cabinets in an old house. The floors were so crooked that my eyeballing turned out to be a full inch off by the time I got to the other side. Went back to the store that same afternoon and grabbed a 6 foot level just to double check everything. Now I won't even hang a picture frame without checking it twice. Its funny how something that seems so simple can save you so much frustration later. Glad you found what works for you, it makes all the difference in the world.

Ha, that's exactly how I got converted too! I carried a spare tube and levers for years, but after patching a gash on a gravel path with just a plug and a mini pump, I never looked back. Now I keep plugs in every saddle bag and only bother with a backup tube for the really big blowouts.
