rocky111 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) okay so my granddad is somewhat well known for his odd repairs he uses old bike parts to fix things. bicycle inner tube is an all time favourite, he cuts them up to make rubber bands, also most of our door latches have spokes in them for springs. He uses a bit of frame to take off his wellys. so I decided that for a laugh and too carry on the family tradition I would use one of my old nakerd crank for a door handle, as the knocker is made out of some kind of old car engine part lol I though it would fit in with the decore nicely. I'm quite pleased with the results as it seemed a shame that such a fine piece of engineering, as my Onza rip crank should go to wast , Most people just think it's a normal door handle. I was wondering if anyone else has found a non bicycle application for old parts, as I know spokes can be used for chain tensioners. didn't some guy on here mount all his broken parts on his wall?

ULtrialsguy Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've joined old inner tubes together to make flexible pipes for carrying water. Pretty high flow rate through them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
