Home built bike stuff

Check these out. Would be cool to integrate these into a rack and bag combo, they’re cheap enough you could get multiple sets for a basket or a crate or whatever.

Another idea, put the nubs on bottle cage mounts or anything cage mounts and you can make your own qr storage

Pricey but another cool quick release and the bases come in m5.

Edit: pricing is maybe for 5 pack?

the other brand name for these is “Lift The Dot” where the female side is flush

M5 posts are rarer but do exist, I built a rack+bag setup for my NFE around it

Lift The Dot is a different system (it sort of peels off), but DOT had a fastener like this call Pull It Up but they don’t anymore, plus it also shows up under the name Tenax. No idea if this is just licensing/spinoff stuff or what.

The Loxx stuff is cool, I have experience with them for tonneau covers for kit cars and curtains in campers. I want to use them in my van for removable thermal curtains. Could be cool for a rando bag but I cant imagine a good way to use them.

ingest more weed and think harder

Yea, so the buttons are on the bottom side of the rack and receive the nub piece from the bottom of the bag. You reach under the rack to release.

“guitar strap quick release” seems like another interesting category of hardware to dither with

Oooh, nice find! That top one reminds me of some 2-part keychains that use a similar ball-lock pin, but that guitar stuff comes ready-made to be mounted with screws.

I have some R/C helicopter plastic body mounting hardware that is essentially the same thing, very nicely machined but not inexpensive.

Helped out a local shop with a weird compatibility issue. Kona jake needed a new fork and the new fork they got with an integrated crown race fouled the CC40 ZS56 cup. I turned a custom cup that seats the bearing closer to the edge of the cup.

Printed the first iteration of my latest simplism, mon-cheri

After a bit of fandangling I’ve decided to make them all smaller with bigger cable holes, I’m already 8 frayed cables deep goin into this.
