BaGearA Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Just show me whacky things you have done to make something work / work beter / make the bike your own / custom stuff. Anything that separates you from the pack.
BaGearA Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Tested on an old lever and it worked. Got myself an I-spec shifter and now got a cool dropper lever , an the actuation is sooooooo much smoother
Kalahari Vegmot Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I had to build a bike with shimano once... #nowthatsbodging

Mongooser Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 coverd my bottom tube in insulation tape to stop shuttle rash,cable tied a snapped lever and raced
WrightJnr Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Not mine but saw it on GCN the other night. Two cable ties folded in half and pushed into the middle of the crank spindle (most of the new ones are hollow). For trail side repairs. And quick do it cause it's so slick next year Spez will add it to their SWAT lineup. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Needed to put a spacer on the roadie free hub to fit the 7sp cassette (it's narrower than an 8/9/10 and I don't wanna upgrade) Had a couple of spacers from my old SS conversion kit but they were 2mm too wide. Medium sized cable tie was perfect so I used that until I could get hold of 2 cassette spacers. Mates RD lost a pulley wheel in the middle of jonkers. Put several cable ties through the mounting holes as a temporary pulley.

Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Saw this on SBH. Think it deserves a mention. Just a piece of hose salvaged from your neighbors' and cut to shape...
