i think for some people these are important things. what multi tool do you use/carry etc, does it cover most of the small tasks you need to do? i live in the middle of some woods, so a small axe is also a really useful tool and was delighted when i was given a gransfors brux hatchet and belt loop for christmas.
just because something isn't relevant to you it doesn't mean its unimportant to someone else. most normal people could not give a flying fuck about handlebars, bar tape, rim profiles etc, but are probably not getting worked up and hating such things.
i find it fascinating there are so many niche areas of interest, all these little realms of nerdery

You're in the 'I hate' thread, squire :-)
I totally get the desire to have useful items of equipment on ones person in relevant situations. If I'm going to be out and about on my bike ('ride' or otherwise), I have certain things that I make sure are in my bag/jersey - tool pouch, lock keys etc. If I'm camping, I actually have a tool roll with stuff like a folding chefs knife, an Opinel, bottle opener etc.
I'm semi-fetishistic about all these little objects and also about the manner in which I carry them. I just can't bring myself to give the whole experience a name, when its just carrying stuff around to greater or lesser degrees of organisation. I'm not sure I could bring myself to arrange the contents of my pockets artfully on a log and take a photo with my Zeiss, either.

It's having stuff in your pockets. It doesn't need to be a thing. Why does everything have to be a thing now?
And that's not even getting in to where it intersects with carrying firearms...
