Seriously, who doesn't own one these days? A basic 5Nm click-type from any hardware store is like twenty bucks. It's cheap insurance against turning a tiny bolt into a very expensive mistake. Watching someone crush a carbon steerer tube with a big hex key is enough to make you buy one on the spot.

That "time-capsule" feeling is the best. I've totally fallen down that rabbit hole with old fan sites or local business pages that just stopped. You go for one fact and get stuck reading some person's weirdly specific passion project from twenty years ago. It's a whole mood.

Wait, you only wrapped them for the last three hours? I always thought you had to wrap ribs for way longer to get them tender. How hot was your smoker running to get them done in that time?
