Topeak Alien

Saturday, December 13th, 2003 @ 7:36 AM - training

I was due for a 4+ hour ride today, but I felt really tired the entire day. After running some morning errands on my bike, I was all set for a long ride. Instead I ended up going back to sleep for another 3 hours. Boom - my day was gone. This is the first time in over a month that I have skipped my scheduled training, so I feel pretty guilty. I wanted to at least life some weights later this evening, yet I can't seem to emerge from a catatonic state. Hopefully I'm not sick.

Topeak Alien

A few weeks ago I had lost my portable 15mm wrench attaches to my Topeak Alien multitool. In lieu of lugging around a full sized wrench, this portable wrench is the only way I can remove my rear wheel on my fixed-gear bike to repair flats while out on a ride. The garbage ridden roads of Sonoma County are no place to be unprepared for a popped tube. However all it took was one phone call to Topeak, and a free wrench arrived within a few days. Such excellent customer service will forever keep that company on my "not-shit" list.
