BaGearA Posted February 17, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted February 17, 2017 Share 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 WrightJnr, Skott5, Rocket-Boy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted February 17, 2017 Share 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.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 17, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 11, 2017 Share Saw this on SBH. Think it deserves a mention. Just a piece of hose salvaged from your neighbors' and cut to shape... Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
