Darn it
My custom front lamp bracket started to break this morning. It is made
from a Bluemels pump and a water bottle cage bracket. It is a little springy so I braced it with a strip of aluminium and this strip is starting to tear. I'll have to make a steel one out of the packing piece that was holding the drum of my new washing machine in place as it was delivered. |

I think you have to have a go at the hour record if you do that. -- Call me "Bob" "More oneness, less categories, Open hearts, no strategies" Email address is spam trapped, to reply directly remove the beverage. |

My experience of sheet aluminium as a material for lamp brackets (custom or otherwise) is uniformly unsatisfactory. See if you can find a bit of gash stainless lying around.

Now the UCI have mandated a traditional fork (have they?), there is the option of using a SON. Obviously Chris B's bike with its monoblade affair couldn't do this - maybe this is why they banned them. cheers, clive |
