I'll make Macgyver SAK collection thread later on. I have bought quite many Sak's in 5-6 weeks, from Singapore, France, Germany, England, Switzerland, USA, Finland. Some super rare prototypes or chinese copies haven't found, but otherwise I think I have most of them. I wish I had more knowledge about Victorinox and Wenger models, but I'm learning, sakwiki is really good. Later on I wanna read Swiss army knife collector's companion book. Old research on this site and tips from members has been very helpful.
Harry Jackson: There was a time when I could run all day without breaking a sweat. I tell ya: it's hell getting old. MacGyver: Age is only in the mind, Harry. Harry Jackson: Well, my mind tells me I'm gettin' old.

QUOTE (Duckt tape @ 16 September 2014 - 11:02 AM) | MiracleMac I so know the feeling I've got some kind of curse with bikes. I go everywhere with bike and cycle all year round despite the weather. I'm the only one in our family who cycle so I take the bike that happens to work at that moment. And I ALWAYS manage to break them! It's ridiculous! Just go to the nearby store and come back with a flat tire. When I moved to my own place I took my father's bike with me as my own one was broken (again). It's 30 years old and it never had got even flat tire until I took it. Since then.. well I somehow manage to get the flat tire while cycling to work, its seat got stabbed while I was at school and someone kicked the rim broken while I was out of town. Well I fixed it and still cycle with it every day of the year. And it's the best bike ever had even though it's old and all rusty and the gears, breaks and lock get frozen every winter. |
What bicycle you have? I have Mongoose Tyax Mountainbike and I love that theres havent been any problems with that bike since 2008 when I got that, than this rear tire problem. But I think that my dad bought regular innertube for the rear tire, not the mountainbike innertubes, which is much stronger. The front tire which is still the original factory, still stands the bumps and rocks whereever I've been driven, but the reason why the rear tire broke down wasn't that the tire blew, it was because the tire valve was leaking. So all in all there wasn't any cracks in original rear innertube, pretty strong. But what I also love that theres text on body which says, made in USA
"Colorado river kayak race, you and me shooting the rapids"

I don't think Mongoose has been made in the US for a loooong time. China now, and you can buy them at Walmart, which is an indicator of their current quality.
I also ride year round, I don't have a complete bike at the moment, but I'm working on it. I've even rode down snow covered ski slopes on a bike, although that doesn't work so well, you tend to loose control at a certain point. I'm generally am rough on back rims, bars and grips.
