Reminds me that my rack has one of those lamp hanger thingies. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced light for this? I’d like something battery ran or rechargeable ![](https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/11223601_703338889765628_3976920099228845269_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9)

my rack has the same, I bolted a sawed off sidepull brake arm to it, and a [cheapo light mount](http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Eyelet-Stub-Black/dp/B00629QAVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444911111&sr=8-1&keywords=origin8+light+mount) then put [one of these](http://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-TM-Headlight-Rechargeable-Waterproof/dp/B00E91EFZC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1444911064&sr=8-4&keywords=bike+light+cree) on that. But at that point any light meant to attach to your bars would work.

That seems like a pretty damn good setup. The bike in that light ad is hilarious also

You can also make your own if you have these parts laying around (steerer spacer, 2 stem caps & a bolt). Make sure your handlebar light mount can fully wrap the diameter though.

I have one metric fuckton of bell parts from a bogus shipment of brake levers. hole is maybe 3 or 4mm but can easily be drilled out. I used one to mount a rock bros bell to a bar end shifter. if anyone wants however many of them to fuck around with, it’s yours for shipping (probably free unless it costs a lot to ship them in whatever envelope)  
it’s this bell

 ![](https://www.electricbike.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/the-bell1-1024x682.jpg)  
seriously there’s about 700 of them and it’s the one part of these bells that don’t break

Pshaw. You’re into bikes. The only reason you don’t have a dynamo on that bike is because it’s not a spending priority.

Let’s be honest here your spending priority is something that your wife actually likes to ride.

yeah, lever with integrated bell. we have a fuckton of cast levers that get bent if you look at em wrong that are being replaced with forged levers. the bells mechanism fails a lot but the bell itself seems to have some rad uses

So my fork has eyelets on the inside like so:

One of these is stripped and will not hold a fender bolt anymore ☹ Anyone know if there’s some way to replace/repair? Was thinking of asking my local carbon repair guy. Or should I just get some p-clamps? Time for a new fork?

Looks like a regular rivnut, so it should be possible to drill it out and place a new one. Carbon guy could definitely do it.

why not just use a longer bolt a nyloc nut on the inside?

edit: oh, nevermind, I thought the hole extended through the entire blade
