How can I get this out?

[Rob3rt]

Just pull the plug out of the other size and poke something flexible all the way through the bars and poke it back out. You can probably ram a wire clothes hanger down it.

The toilet macerator springs are on sale in pound land.

Price on application.

Hmmm, I doubt if a wire coat hanger would be flexible enough to go round the bends on drop bars. But - here's a idea - maybe a gear cable outer would work?

Hydraulic pressure will shift it. Push a wad of something like paper or plastic down the open end to seal and give some protection to the light then connect it up to the mains. If the water affects the light, it shouldn't be too hard to dry it out.

Alternatively drop a couple of heavy ball bearings in and let them roll down to the inside of the light, then bash the bars on something firm and let the weight of the balls push the light out.

Marbles might work as well, especially several of them in a row.

Cut the ends off and mount then upside down on your fixed, with cyclocross brake levers.
Buy a fixed if necessary

ss glad to see you also have a life outside of cycling

i think you ought to go with the marble idea - push lots and lots in - put a bag the other end to catch everything , also push coat hanger in through a hosepipe , leave it long enough so you can blow in it while going up hills when you are panting harder and just keep on doing it till it drops out . at least this way we can hear you coming and will recognise you - maybe even attach a trumpet mouth piece to the hose and keep in tune with the clacking marbles

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Just don't lose your marbles...

What ever !

PS Ritchey WCS bars are a very nice upgrade - get the alloy version as it's as light but stiffer than the carbon (I know you like alloy). I bent my Ritchey Comp bars and the 'only' ones I could find that were the same in Evans were the WCS - honest !

Hacksaw off the bit of bar where it's stuck. You won’t notice after a bit, and it'll reduce the weight of your bike

Keep riding over cobbles til it drops out?

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

I bet thermite would shift it.
