Hacks / Bodges

Love the coat hook, is it some sort of James bond anti car device?

Does it go inside the frame? Kinda missing whats going on.
Love the recent shimano road brakes, put koolstop salmons/swissstop green in them and finally road brakes that actually work and feel good.

Yes it's internal cabling.

NM, should have refreshed.

Excellent. Can't help feeling it'll rattle loose though. Maybe a bit of poundshop loctite (superglue) will solve it.

Recent experiment in mudguard eyelets after multiple previous efforts failed:

I wonder if polymorph will soften in the summer sun. I hope not!

Did these ones not hold? ^?

Sadly no. On the front they did without issue but the rear proved too brittle and the araldite cracked on both sides after one too many pothole bashes. I wonder if the cold had anything to do with it.

Hardcore, what happened there?

Dunno, it was posted to the Vintage Cannondale fb group asking what might have caused it.

Flopped off a bike rack on the back of the car and got dragged for while?
