Other recent bodges, which have become semi permanent solutions, for now, include the following:
Broken front mudguard stays lashed with some skinny dynema. Absolutely bombproof.
Broken hook on pannier repaired with cable ties. That one stays attached almost all the time now, which isn't an issue, because I always have at least one bag on, to carry phone, wallet and keys etc.
Took an angle grinder to this rear rack the day I fitted it. It has a really stupid horizontal bar at the bottom, which sits significantly proud of the rest of rack, and means conventional panniers, such as the caradice super-c bags I use, won't fit. I'm sure it voided the warranty, but structurally it's rock solid without it. Rode 6 weeks of rough stuff, fully loaded, and it stood up to it fine.
