The tape to keep the water out of your eyes .. Win

 

Slicks on a MTB with a 20k fork .. fail.

But why?

Fork travel adjuster ..

Thats a good ghetto fix

Rear shock leaking air?Duct tape can fix anything......

Duct tape, been making "NO,NO!" into "Mm, Mm" for many years.

But why?

I've seen one of these cheap coil/oil forks once that was completely knackered.

If you picked up the front of the bike the stanchions and internals came up with the bike while the lowers stayed behind on the ground with the wheel.

Can only think that it might be the case here aswell and that wtf ever is going on there is te fix.

Thats nasty though. Those cable tied ends will cut you to shreds. Will be better under the seat

This is me and my own personal bike.

 

I have a Chinese Tioga Spyder clone saddle. They have no foam padding but have great amounts of flex in the shell. Close to 1-2cm at places on the saddle. I find it pretty comfy. After 3 years it eventually cracked and broke a few weeks back.

 

Step 1: Heat a nail with a blowtorch and melt a few anchor holes in the plastic shell.

 

 

Step 2: Take fishing line and stitch it, 3 "winds", and knot it under the saddle. The knots were then glued with superglue. The cracks were also glued before the knots were finalized. After the glue dried, a single layer of duct tape.

 

 

Step 3: Ride 'yo bike! Fix was done a few weeks back. In the meantime, plenty training, 2 short races plus 1x Trans Baviaans. No problems.

 

 

Yeah, these saddles sell for about R150 or less from China, but why replace when repair will let it last for a few years still.

Maybe glue a seat cover onto there. Or a thin piece of sponge and fabric

No need. The saddle came out with nothing on. The flex makes up for the lack of sponge and covering.

solution for you RE you sentimentality over the old saddle.

 

Buy a new R150 one, and keep the old repaired saddle .... this opens the door to build a whole new bike around it!

 

WIN, WIN
