There are a handful of tools that a mountain biker should have in their possession. But there’s one tool that not many people have, but its something you all NEED.
It’s the Park Tool DAG-2
I bought this tool online for around $50. You may think, that its a bit steep to pay for one tool, but it actually pays for itself within a few uses. You see, a shop will charge you as much as $25 to align your hanger. It is an intimidating tool to look at (that’s what she said), but its pretty easy to use. Here’s a video that best explains how to work with the tool.
Awesome tool to have. I wish I had one.
I agree. I have one, and I’ve used it many times already. My friends come by and have me align their derailleur hangers with it all the time.
It’s definitely paid for itself.
It surely saved my bacon! Thanks RL!
