When the next big earth quake in LA occurs I would much rather have a gun in my house then to not.

For what?

Why can't we be friends

The best part about that song is that it's done by War.

Every thread about guns has to go turn into a dogshit war about politics at some point...

Here we go!

I didnt have to use my Ak Today, It was a good day.

I got it.

.357 Magnums are really nice. If I were to get a revolver it would be something similar to that.

Those are awesome.  If I ever get a gun it's gonna be a revolver.  I like the simplicity and the fact that you can see how it works.

I didn't realize M8 was the thread, I thought it was the size of the bolt like the imperial ones listed before it.  So is the 1.25 the length of the bolt then?

Boeshield T9- For chains. Drip it on while backpedaling, then wipe off the excess. How do you like this? Is is silent, fast, solid?

Tacx Carbon Asm Paste- for carbon seatposts. I've been wanting to try this. Is it working well for you?

Zep 45- I don't use this much as it reminds me of death.What is it?

Wheelsmith Spokeprep- For spoke threads. Does it work like lock tite, or is it more adjustable?

DT Swiss Spoke Freeze- To lock spokes if needed. Basically locktite.

The Boeshield T9 is the best.  Check it out.

The carbon paste works well, although I don't know of much else you would want to put on carbon/carbon.

The spoke prep is for building wheels.  It's not like loc-tite.

The spokefreeze was indeed "Developed in conjunction with Loctite."

Tri-Flow- in a spray can and a little bottle.  Spray works good on derailleur pivots and brake pivots, and the little bottle for cables.

Boeshield T9- For chains.  Drip it on while backpedaling, then wipe off the excess.

Finish Line Anti-Seize- Big Tub for certain ti and al parts.

Tacx Carbon Asm Paste- for carbon seatposts.

Baby Powder- For tubes and your nuts on hot days.

Pedro's Syn grease- A big tub for general purpose.  I don't like the Park or Phil Wood grease, this is smoother and they change its color every once in a while.

Pedro's Syn lube- I only use this to mix with the Syn grease to get different consistencies.

water- Keep a spray bottle of water on hand to quickly wipe my hands down.

Dazzle- Works alright as a general cleaner for benchtops and stuff.

alcohol- A big bottle from CVS with a spray top put on.  Works good for a final cleaning to remove residue from other cleaners.  Its also fun to spray on bugs and when I need to light something on fire, because it won't make any smoke or smell.

Pedro's shopworks and Simple Green- I fill up a spray bottle with one or the other of these to clean nasty shit off rims and bikes, and scum off the floor.

Super Penetrant- duh.

Park cutting oil- Thats just what we have sitting by the vises and spoke cutter.  I haven't really tried much other cutting fluids.

Zep 45- I don't use this much as it reminds me of death.

Pedro's Oranj Peelz- Doesn't seem to do a whole lot, but it smells ok.

Loctite 242, 262, 680- from mild to wild.

White Lightning Clean Streak Metal Prep- Like tubes said, this stuff is pretty cool.  It evaporates very fast and leaves no residue.  Kind of like a tough alcohol.

Park Chainbrite- Works about as well as the Oranj Peelz, but doesn't smell good.

Motorex Prep M- Pack it up pack it in.  Stuff that shit in suspension seals.

Slick Honey- Also works for suspension, but the syringes it comes it are even more useful for injecting and removing fork oil with a hose on the end.

King RingDrive Lube- For the buzz.

Wheelsmith Spokeprep- For spoke threads.

DT Swiss Spoke Freeze- To lock spokes if needed.

Dualco grease guns- One with a short nozzle filled with Prep M, and one with a long nozzle filled with Syn grease.

JP Weigle's Frame Saver- For steel frames.

Goof Off- To remove sticker residue, permanent marker, paint, glue.  It works really well but is very potent.

Thats what I have at my bench at the moment.
