Hacks / Bodges

The first bit shows how it works, although it's a bit too quick for me.

I think that's just where he got the idea from, although those tyres look pretty easy to do by hand anyway.

It's a demo of the principle that's then used to mount the tyre

Doh, Thanks all

Riding the Brompton into work today and my front Exposure strada kept pointing at the floor. I guessed I hadn’t tightened it properly in my haste to swap it over from my regular commuter bike. On further examination the hinge pin had rusted through and snapped. Bugger and also bollocks. So out with the mini drill and a route around in the cupboard for that box of split pins that were left to me by my Grandad 20 odd years ago. And it’s fixed. It’s not pretty, but at least I will be able to see on the way to work tomorrow.
As per the pics are in a strange order.

That'll fix it.

Love all the foxing on the ancient split pin label

Noticed one of my pedals had gone wobbly, lbs was selling nukeproof nylons for £20 so bought some, didn't really pay attention to how I was going to attach my straps (which bolted into my old pedals)

There was nowhere to bolt them so I laced up the bolt holes with paracord

I've ordered some Chicago screws to replace the paracord

Chicago screws, also called sex bolts, I love it when you find the name of weird little things

Co-opted August Cycles’ Salsa liplock lamp bracket mod.

M3 bolt + brake pad hardware.

Anyone know the shear strength of a stainless m3 bolt, the force put out by brake housing?

This is an excellent hack.
