Hacks / Bodges

Leather mudguard flap extenders. Not sure if it's a hack or a bodge but whatever.

Surly beer coozie into headset crud guard.

That satisfying feeling when you finally have enough leverage.

Amazing work man!

Super impressed by all of these. Top work.

Some good bodges there.

That poor cable though

It's lubed up and there's a nylon insert, it's all good. That bike is for sale actually if you want to try it out for yourself!

I meant the brake cable housing on the left but now that you mention it, would it be possible to bend the angle slightly on the guide pipe to get the cable running straight out?

Good bodging either way if it's working well!

Some fine work there. This one definitely a standout

Shame about the clamp bolt location though.

... Hmm, indexing adjustment on the go via tweaking the noodle.

Possible euphemism or album name

Bloody hell Cam, that is a serious rub of bodges.

This is really good, might come in handy one day. How'd you mount the shifter on the FD clamp?

Just a series of bolts and spacers I think. The lever just about rests on the clamp which stops the mech slipping down the gears.

beer cozy crud catcher is my favourite

Lost two chain ring bolts today. Used this hack to get me back home without dropping the chain again
