Bike multitool recommendations? Fix it, repair it, how do I do it, what's the best part to use, and now: how do I get there?

im partial to the topeak alien multitool



40ish at REI. which is a bit expensive, but comes with lifetime REI return guarantee. ive broken off a couple of the plastic tire levers with it before. but thats the worst that has happened to it. has just about everything i need out on the road, including chain tool

Until I lost my Topeak Alien II (or maybe Lee stole it...) I was quite happy with it. But I thought about how often I actually used its more obscure tools and settled on the Topeak which is lighter and only $27. Free shipping on Amazon, bitches!

1. yes, but accidents happen. this can't happen if you aren't putting pressure on it, especially laterally. Period. there is no arguing this, it is a fact.
2. you are correct, but you could just as easily prop it up with the mini floor pump, as it can function as a horizontal pump as well. true it does hold more per stroke.
3. bull shit. we both know it's a bitch getting a tire up to 100psi regardless of what pump you're using. and i'm pretty sure we can agree that having a little extra help from gravity is a good thing.

also, i've had 2 frame pumps, one was stolen, and one fell off somewhere, i assume a bike pile.

innovation, it often is a good thing.

hey not saying I agree or disagree with any of the points on this thread

but

The number one sign you got a weak argument is when you use statements like
"Period. there is no arguing this, it is a fact"
If I was a big enough douchebag I'd pull out the latin phrase for the kind of fallacious argument this is, but I'm not a douchebag

I
just
drink
them
