Bodge of the year 2013...

[dan_bo]

I fitted a new set of wheels to the new (old, new again) Kaffenback- however the cassette was rattling like a beast on the ride last sunday. Horrible. What do I do? Don't have a shim/washer of the correct size to bed it all down properly sooooo....

O ring (laccy band) now resides at the back of the cassette taking up the slack. Rode it all week, hills n all, not a peep. I win!

Next!

Hang on, does the old crashed Kaffenback live, or have you got another ?

For bodges you need the 'Gios Lethal Impact'/Ammaco Tony Doyle I keep for rides where I've to leave it in dodgy places. Why 'Gios' - it was the cheapest make badge on eBay and 'Lethal Impact' - because it tried to kill the two previous owners and had a good go twice with me before I re-built it.

Copious use of zip ties, duck tape and sellotape holds the thing together atm.

A wee on road mechanical fixed: 30 miles and a downpour later still holding up.
All done properly now

Respec' Pat. Respec'.

One day, kids, I'll show you how to hold the back end of a high spec italian road bike together with one of them cheapo pressed steel multi spanners and a QR skewer.

Three years. Say no more.
