Hacks / Bodges

Hah ! New page fail.

Balance bike ? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Im already at home, and this is why it pays to have more cargo bikes then you technically need

But in this case you did technically need it?

This time

Dropped the rubber ring which is used to keep these lights on when I put it in my bag earlier. Fortunately I still had a bunch of covid masks in there, so bodged a way of keeping the light on.

An anti zip tie attempt with scrap piece od metal. Was fitting fenders on a trek multitrack without chainstay bridge.
Also, I’m not entirely sure what are the bolts for originally. Is it a bracket for chainstay protection?

Anti chain suck plate so, basically, yeah.

Not a new hack, but this particular combo amused me - Magic Milk sealant in a transparent Shwalbe Aerothan inner tube. Felt like I was putting a used condom in my tyre.

Front light bodge using some spare rack mounting hardware after the rubber strap snapped. That was then re-bodged using double-sided tape and a couple zip ties as the mounting hole has stripped. Working amazingly until the light needs charging, then I need some kind of QR solution

Reusable zip ties? Or just new zip ties. Or maybe hook and loop straps.

Good one today
