I like the look of this rack, the cage bosses on the underside seem like a good idea

I just realised that this is not fitting as a "viable alternative to racks and panniers"

Mine came from bike monger

They accidentally sent a normal one first time, if you can leave a note on the order it may be worth mentioning "for rack mount"

Cheers. Hopefully I'll leave it alone now. Maybe one more coat of the wife's posh matte black nail varnish on the clips when she's not at home

Rod and pclip version

Cable ties and jubilee clips

An evolution of hacks/bodge here. I bought a voilee rack strap to attach the laptop to my specialized pizza rack for the commute only to find out that the rack strap fits 10mm tubing and the pizza rack is 13mm.
First up was 3 cable ties per side for the strap to fit.
That was upgraded to two jubilee clips and a brass olive hammered into an oval.
Third and maybe final version is some aluminium rod attached with a combo of 13mm and 10mm pclips, in a sort of mad Max, side impact protection, attachment type thing.
Here's the first two versions

Cheers @spotter I managed to get a cheap b&m in the end

I'm after an iq-x or something similar. Anything about?
(Would need posting to Swansea)

surprised that this hasn't been snapped up. That's what you get for scaring off all the lurkers

Now sold

16mm bolts where a bit too long. Hacksawed the top off and it seems to have done the job (left bolt standard, middle chopped, right full length 16mm)

Oops 700c @scultura

Not the lightest but plenty sturdy.
Have been run up tubeless with no issues.
Quick release front and back
Used condition but spinning fine.
In Swansea, so if you can't collect it will be £75 posted to your door

That's good to know, cheers. Feeling a bit more hopeful now

Found some extra long bolts for sale on bikemonger....fingers crossed

The normal bolt won't catch the thread anymore unfortunately, if I screw the normal bolt into the ring on its own (no inner ring or cranks, just the other ring itself) then there is enough thread for the bolt to go all the way in.
I'm hoping, a longer bolt would do the job, if I can find one

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but it's a bit of a bodge in my eyes.
I just got a new 105 5800 chainring, where the bolts screw directly into the chainring itself. Somehow, I've managed to use 3 normal length chainring bolts and one shorter single ring bolt, the single ring bolt pulled the threads out as I tightened it.
Instead of throwing a brand new chainring in the bin, I think I may get away with using a longer chainring bolt as there's still a bit of thread left in there and there seems to be a bit of extra depth there too.
Question is, where can I get longer chainring bolts? Or any m8 bolt with the correct pitch?
Or, am I wasting my time and admit to myself I just ruined a perfectly good, brand new bike part.......again

All Halfords man could give me was "they are usually dt Swiss or formula"

I'm hoping to swap over this XD freehub to a Shimano if possible, just wondering if anyone has a clue as to what I'd need?
It's from a 2017 Boardman cx team and the hub is unbranded.
