By tool kit, you must mean holder for lighter and a poker for the bowl.

I’m saving all my hidden weed related frame ideas for when Ross Rebagliati hits me up for a frame. He’s already following me on Instagram.
I picked o rings that were the same width as the parting blades I use (3/32). I just made the grooves deeper .010 at a time until I got a nice snug fit.

I know a normal bar-end plug fit in my Hollowtech 2 spindle, and I think there are a couple of companies making crank spindle hidey multi tools, aren’t there?
After borrowing the bladed spoke holder from the shop twice in one week I decided to make my own.
I can’t remember who here gave these to me, I used the spiders for the tandem and these have been kicking around the workbench ever since.

I like having this little hook to hold the chain sometimes but I never use it because I can never find it in my tool box.
I gave it some more wiggle and it’s always easy to find. It just sorta clips in there.

Damn, I also have one that I can never find. Time to make a new one.

Not really homebuilt but not sure where else to ask. What should I use to repair this HDPE sheet on the bottom of a Revelate Terrapin 14L butt rocket?
I bought it used with this damage from rear tire rub. The two small slits in the wear area go through the sheet (but the drybag is unmarked).
Sew in a fresh one? I’d get some epoxy that sticks to polyethylene and glue another chunk over the borked one. Or just fill the cracks with the special epoxy.

Just don’t do anything and run it as is. You’ll eventually make your own tire marks on it.

HDPE can be welded with a plastic welder so maybe you could clean both surfaces really well and weld a patch on with a clothes iron. Definitely use aluminum foil between the iron and the plastic. I’d practice with 2 pieces of the leftover of the piece you plan on patching with. Probably also need a fair amount of pressure
supergluing big rema tube patches to close the slits would be pretty cute

I saw someone had made vinyl stickers in that shape, could always fake the funk no matter how you do the repair.

I’m thinking a sticker patch of some kind
I’ll throw some stickers in an envelope if you just wanna sticker bomb it and yolo.

TIL I’ve been incorrectly naming hirth joints. Thought they were heim joints. Whoops.
