him specifically mentioning that he was smashing an X-O, and then commenting on how you could probably find one for a few dollars makes me think it’s definitely a joke.

Ugh, no way thats real. Can’t believe that’s even debatable. He’d use his power tools to cut the chain if ignorant to chain breakers. My favorite part was the chain stay guard to hide the missing notch. lulz

and saying that if others had those, you’d know they had to change their chain.
i hope that isn’t real, but there’s a part of me that thinks it is. some people are just that stupid.

> Oak works well on ti chainstays but pine is OK for steel. Park has a special hammer (BTHOoTD-1) for removing the chain from the derailleur.
