Tool porn

Don’t forget rainbow.

Thanks, now I won't sleep until I figure this out :(

ChromaFlair? That's what TVR used to call the similar paint they applied to some of their cars.

Isn't iridescent a quality of colour not an actual colour?

Lk, metallic or matte, you can have metallic purple or matte red you could also have iridescent green?

Spoiler, I haven't read the wiki article.

Has anyone paid £100 for a piece of flat metal before?

I guess it's £5 for the plate and £95 for the green ano?

I want it.

I bought one of their Crombie tools, but the Collect+ outage has meant it's trapped in my local newsagents.

Is that the cassette tool?

I've had one of those for years. It's great and unlike this green plate, actually worth the money, I feel, especially given how often I'm swapping cassettes and wheels and such.

£5 for the plate and £95 for the green ano?

Other way round actually.

That's not as funny though.

What's it even meant to do?

Make your saddle height / angle / fore-aft measurements more consistent.

Are these considered porn worthy?

The bmx world is calling it 'oil slick' or something like that

I guess it's £5 for the plate and £95 for the green ano & logo to show off

They could've put a nicer toe strap on it for that price!

Wonder how much these weigh compared to my peanut butter

Isn't iridescent a quality of colour not an actual colour?

Yeah it is.

I didn't realise Eseman with looking for the name of an actual colour!

The bmx world is calling it 'oil slick'

I'll cry if thats the term Eseman is looking for

Is that the cassette tool?

Yep, Shimano with thru-axle on one side and 5mm QR on the other.

Everyone is calling it that. It's on trend at the moment. I mean, it's been around for years but now they seem to be applying the coatings to everything, not just chains and cassettes.

Yeah, I bought it as soon as I saw it. Much better than my previous 2-piece combo which also didn't have TA "axle".

Just seen on the site

Approximately 30% lighter than a Campag tool at 75g.

I guess they're talking about the peanut butter? I've stopped using mine on wheel nuts pretty quickly

This arrived last week, I’m impressed with it.

Yes 30% lighter according to the blurb!

I tried to find something mocking to say, but I totally would. Needs to have more volume though. I’d be out of that in a day.
