Dallinboi347 on May 18, 2024 2:23 pm I keep the same think in my bikepacking kit. Here’s some uses likley and unlikely that I can think of why I’d use it (some of these I have done) Sew the sidewall of a tire using a 5-0 Prolene skin suture (which I also carry) Open glass bottle Tighten a valve stem nut or rack nuts. Hold a hot cooking pot Remove a tic off my skin or pull out a metal or wood sliver Pull a nail out of my tire Bend an aluminum rim back in place Spoke wrench assuming I don’t already have the right size Pluck my eyebrow so I look sexy
