Opening after cobbles tho...

Was gonna put this in the Curious Components thread but felt it didn't actually belong there, maybe its already been posted here seeing as though its a year old. Let's call it an artisanal hack.

A pebble with a hole in it as a woggle on a lanyard to make a lapel mic holder:

This is my home made tubeless compressor. OK, it was made by a friend and gifted to me after he had it for a few years.

Use the presta valve at top left and a track pump to pump this up to about 70psi, stick the clear tube over the tubeless tyre valve and hold the lever down to release the air.

It's set up about 60 tubeless tyres for my fleet and my tubeless cycling buddies in the last 12 months

Down right beautiful.

Down right beautiful.

Although is the NDS a mess of cable tie ends?

What's going on here, is that grease oozing out?

Yeah lol, I wiped it off after the photo

Not exactly pretty but not too bad, if I was a perfectionist I might redo it so the cable tie end pointed down or something

Not really noticeable on a dark frame. Strong submission

I feel like these photos don't do it much justice, and it needs to be seen in the flesh. Oddly it was about 20m from a Mike Burrows cargo bike.

Can’t even… what is going on there?

Is it demon possessed? When it starts rolling everything straightens out and becomes shiny and deadly?
