Some objects hide brute power in the repetitive grace of their sturdy, here small parts.
The leaves and pins of a bicycle chain have a piddling weight when separate. Chips of steel barely worth ignoring.
Assemble them, case and they can move a 220-pound man up a 1,400-foot mountain one morning a week to gape at the sunrise.
This thing’s been kicking around my desk forever – the cobbled-together remnants of several chain replacements. Prime fiddling tackle, to be sure.
