brakelеss_ftw Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Parts and repairs of any kind made by your own hands. I'll start. Onza 100x30 stem with dead threads, really loved it and can't find same in Russia, so I had to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I needed a disc brake adapter in a rush so I made this I'll admit it is a little bit minimal but it held up. Next time I think I will use some thicker material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I used a rawl plug and screw to fix a stripped magura clamp. It lasted about a year until the bike got stolen. When I got the bike back they'd fixed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) I'm using a valve stopper or whatever they're called from the threaded type tubes to act as a washer for my rear magura clamps. Works perfectly. I've also used insulation tape as a spacer before Edited May 29, 2014 by Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've not partaken in any of this tomfoolery for a good few years, but your knees will enjoy that bolted stem very muchly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david509allen Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I lost a magura evo d shaped washer so replaced it with a plastic drink bottle top drilled to fit. And pumped pint of milk into my tubes for a cheap punture repair slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 At the moment I am running ABS on my front brake, it is kicking back nicely, does not let the wheel to block for long time Although probably it is A pads or B pads biting to the holes C no one knows, so it will be changed for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Cleric, heres the fix you were looking for. use a road caliper fixing nut all you need to do is drill out the threaded part to fit the nut and heypresto fixed and without any nuts to kill your knees http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/shimano-caliper-brake-sunken-nut/rp-prod17557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 What does that even do :/ haha Maybe the forks started cracking and it helped prevent further cracking? I'm confused too but it looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Looks like a bit of strap on ballast.. weren't your forks were they jake? Edited June 13, 2014 by *gentlydoesit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think my most ridiculous bodge to date was about 4 years ago when I was rushing to get a bike built in time for the DJ ride. Was a full on donor bike, the frame was cracked all over etc. The only part that I couldn't seem to source was a set of mod 4 bolt forks. However, A good mate Darren had purchased all of revell's remaining stock, and he had shit loads of 26" forks... I think you can tell where this is going. Fair bit of measuring later I cut a small section out of the bottom of both legs and got them welded back together from another mate. Rode them for 2 weeks with absolutely no issues, they're still about somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I had to use screws in my helmet because i accidently cut through some plastic when i modified it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) no offence,but are you actually thinking modifying a helmet is a good idea? for me my helmet is basically there to compensate for other bad ideas i have during a ride Edited June 16, 2014 by FamilyBiker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 If it was the plastic visor that's okay but if it's the foam bit that's silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
