I wanted to mount my phone on my Garmin half turn mount for my indoor trainer so came up with this solution:

 

Purchased one of these from the thegadgetshop: (If you sign up for their newsletter, you can get R100 off  :thumbup:)

I then needed an adapter from the quad lock to the Garmin half turn. I found a 3D print design which some kind fellow on the internet made. Link here to the file

 

Sent the file to the very helpful guys from Rapid3d and this arrived earlier today:

The spank does not use grub screws, more like a cap screw. But the end is not threaded.

 

See below:

So I can buy a bolt, but then I don't have a lathe to make the front as per the original.........

Drill and a file can do the job. Minus the lathe precision.

Picked up a Trek Fuel EX 8 from my local bike shop, had a few short rides, but want to test it on more technical terrain. So far an awesome bike.

Not MTB trail pedals, I have used the XT pedals before on my previous bike, but these do feel extremely solid and smooth when clipping in.

Got the Lyne Holy Rail & Storage Box for my roadie. I considered signing up to attend Harvard while I figured out how to get everything to actually fit well.

Then I figured I'm already riding in the dark in the mornings so I should get a decent light.

This is pretty cool, just don't know how it will look on a hypervox.

Went 20” as he still has a few months on 14.

 

Maybe needs to go to bogus for a new blue color?

Same on this side ....

 

Maritz cant stand over the top tube of the 26'', not yet .... saying that, I got a FRIGHT yesterday afternoon .... He got the 24'' less than a year ago and the saddle of the 24'' is almost level with the top tube of the 26'' !  :eek:   And he is only turning 8 in June !!  :eek:

 

 

So on the one hand I am relaxed that we have time to re-invent the Mongoose, but each time I drool over the Bogus website ...  :drool:   :drool:   SUPER excited for this project !!
