Hacks / Bodges

I met a guy today who had mounted a rear rack to the front on a fork with no eyelets. He had 2 disc brake adapters attached to the axle either side somehow and was using them as the eyelets (the second hole was used for a mudguard) and then at the crown he had a seatpost top clamping the two rails that are meant for the seatstay bolted to the crown through the rim brake mounting hole.

It looked great, wish I took a few photos.

Looks like that has been like that for a while? Seems really dangerous too!

Nailed it!

I have something similar on my rawland.

I hope it all makes a bit more sense viewed from this angle

Deer God.

(No typo)

is that a bodge/hack or maybe something.. else.

So much string. Will come in handy for the next bodge when something falls off a long way from home.

Ummm...

Looks perfectly twine to me.

I think it's a bit ropey.

Ah, a pun thread. Just what the doctor ordered.

Let's not get too wound up about this.

I prefer a pun to a long yarn.

Yes. Let’s knot

No, I don't want this to unravel.

I feel like maybe we’re all being strung along here

Global Positioning String, so you can always get home if your memory of the return route unravels

Well executed!

Is that from a packet of mince?!

Looks like it. Not my hack/bodge so I can't say for sure. Just spotted it at the bike racks this morning.

Needs the meat nappy left in it for full absorbancy
