Hacks / Bodges

👏👏👏

Hidden faces thread for that first one!

Do you carry a cork, or lucky ground find?

The cork was in my frame bag with a tubeless repair spiker thing stuck in it.
I don’t want to lose it as it’s one of these

didnt know this was a thing, time to start a new collection of silly objects

Not a bad gimmick to sell more wine.

The bar clamp for this bell is too small for my bars

But the thread on it is the same as the bar clamp for a Carradice Bagman so I screwed it into the other end to the bolt

Good bodge but doesn't the little tab at the top of your first picture slot into the slot below for bigger bars?

They thread nicely into a down tube shifter boss too.

This is game changing information

This may have been posted already, but I used jubilee ‘super clamps’ as a bodge for fitting fork/bottle cages to forks without brazeons. I’ll go easy on the weight I think though.

At first I thought maybe you'd drank a bottle of wine that morning. Just to get a cork.

Ritchey going for that Sugru'd look on their new brake mounts.

Ooft, that's not nice to look at is it? How have they ended up with that?

Last minute panic would be my guess

Hack? Bodge? Top tip? You decide.
I stopped to help somebody today with their chain off and wrapped round the back of the cassette. It was well and truly wedged in there and no amount of pulling was going to free it. Fear not there was a quick link so if I split the chain I could get a bit more pull to free it, but oh no! I had no tools. Bummer. But I do have a bit of paracord on my key ring. Thread the cord through the links either side of the QL tie a not in it and twist the cord tight with the keys. The link splits, I pull the chain free, reconnect the chain and away they ride. Good deed for the day done. I should be in the fucking A Team. Also no pics as it was pissing it down.

Top stuff.
No need for pics.
Your description of the procedure is vivid.

Winningest thing ever!

Fox-proofing the food waste bin

Why can't you just share your food waste with the foxes?

Because they have appalling table manners

Nobody's got worse manners than the humans, tho
