Hacks / Bodges

At the end use a pick or blade to open the zip tie and reuse.

You can also get reusable zipties!

Very true. I’m still working through a giant tub of less easily reusable ones that I got years ago.

What front light is that?

4yo got a magic key for Xmas they loved. Unfortunately they repeatedly smacked it against the fire guard and it broke.

MUM: "WTF dude!"
4yo: "don't worry dad can fix it"
ME: "Ummm... no he can't as it'll just rebreak at the stress point"
4yo: "what about you out a bandage around it?"
ME: "Hold my beer."

Now that's definitely a key to the little one's heart ;-)

Anyone got a good bodge for fitting a dynamo light to the front of a rack? Need something solid enough that the light won't be bent forwards!

L brackets work, or disc brake adapters are popular for this. Some people cut a chainring too depending on where mounting will be.

Depends a little on the rack.
+1 for disc brake adapters, but realistically any small piece of sheet metal with two holes in it and some nyloc nuts/threadlocker and you're good to go after some fettling

I did this
Pretty sure I have a spare one of these brackets, if it helps (and I’ll check I have it tonight), happy to stick it in the post foc

When fixed cogs are sold out, but you have two complete single speed drive trains and still want to ride fixed:

Lol, thought it was an arial to begin with

It's obviously some type of shredder

Is that rack attached to the head tube somehow? All kinds of bonkers

it's just the rack stays bolted in front of the seat tube with a bit of rubber to add some friction isn't it?

however it's fitted, I certainly wouldn't want to rub any body parts up against it in a crash scenario.

Would deter close-passes so I’m in

Handy way to transport a spare rim? Just weld back together when needed

Re. the dyno mount. Found a disc brake mount as recommended and worked really well!

Been watching too much locke and key I presume!

Nice fix
