Really?
Wow.
Good to know.
That's saying a lot.
I was torn between the two.
I have the Lezyne Levers and Patch Kit.
They are works of art.
Even the packaging is awesome.
They came in Lezyne branded ziplock bags.
I'm a Roofer by trade so I appreciate tools greatly.
A well built tool is a beautiful thing to behold.
I love to blow the minds of people who don't have
a clue about construction when I whip out my $100. Titanium Hammer.
They can't fathom why I'd pay $100. for a hammer...until I put it in their hand.
Honkin' big framing hammer that only weighs 16oz
and actually out performs steel hammers twice it's weight.
And at the end of the day, you're lifting 1/2 the weight you used to.
Some things are worth the extra coin.

I've got a Theta AR, but I'd really like to have an Alpha SV. And just about everything else Arc'teryx makes.

I currently have a Joe Blow Pro pump.
I have no complaints about it.
A good 5 or 6 strokes and I'm back up to 130psi.
It's a totally worry free pump.
I just hook it up, pump, disengage, store and ride away.
I love "stuff" that works, stuff that's simple, stuff that's reliable.

Sent one of my S.I.13 S2 to Switzerland this morning for repair.
Do I *need* to order a couple of sets of S.I.13 S5, or experiment with an unknown bib set to the tune of $75-150, and risk pain and disappointment?
