What did you do to your crosscheck today?

I just feel like I’d somehow skin a knuckle on that thing on a regular basis. Probably just me.

Normally you would take 5 minutes to saw and file off all the teeth

This is currently my favorite bike hack. Rusty you do not disappoint.

Or sharpen then for some sweet Ben Hur action on the bike path

Rusty for Prez. This is brilliant.

VT_regularbike · October 18, 2018, 3:29am

Hasn’t rusty already done this before just not mounted to the brake pad holder?

JUGE_FREDD · October 18, 2018, 5:24am

a saw is slow and fiddly

I always use pliers for dental work, they pop right off

karl_dandleton · October 18, 2018, 11:37am

yes.

Rusty_Piton · October 18, 2018, 12:30pm

Correct but I felt pretty clever when I figured out I could mount it there.

Shamp · October 18, 2018, 2:22pm

If you wiggle your front brake does it sort of wobble the light and get people’s attention?

kmcdon · October 18, 2018, 3:38pm

Welp, looks like I’m stealing this for the nerdavinden.

I don’t have a dyno on that bike, but the handlebar bag does block my light.

Thanks rusty!

Put some fresh pedals and bottle cages on the Vaya.

LASER_BEIGE · October 21, 2018, 2:11am

King cages?

Rent-to-own-Faxmachine · October 21, 2018, 2:36am

Silca Sicuro.

cheese · October 21, 2018, 3:13am

whoa, down to $65? Which and where?

drwelby · October 21, 2018, 2:26pm

Ebay, I think they are BR MT 365

frank_doktor · October 21, 2018, 2:53pm

Shimano M365

todd_bonzalez · October 21, 2018, 3:26pm

Refendered, and it turns out that Specialized’s very large molded plastic mudflaps (removed from one of the countless pairs of broken fenders we have at work) fit pretty well with Planet Bike ALX 650b fenders. Also I bought that Moots seatpost for $40 and polished it up, and that’s cool.

Rent-to-own-Faxmachine · October 21, 2018, 3:34pm

I put those on my e-bike because replacing the stock brakes’ worn-out pads would have been $40. Even with the stupid-long hoses (never bothered to trim them), they stop beautifully.

Take any other closeup photos?
