Littleharrys Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yeah nice idea, i did the same thing witha cable tie when the bolt craked, brakes work just as well. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 That's the most bodgiest bodge i have ever seen. :o :D ← The most bodgiest bodge I ever saw was someone who fixed a chainstay (that had sheared completely) with a spanner (like a splint) and a couple of zip ties (Y) Or the old "fix a puncture with leaves and grass" thing that just DOESN'T WORK!

Tom Booth Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 haha good old jubilee clips, i used to have on and me freind is currently running two and has been for some time.

Tom Booth Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 What about the poor homeless birds? (Y) Bet it still didn't work :D ← (bird nest was a broken home anyway) haha no it didnt, we got grass all the way round the tyre, then we put it on and it was still flat, we had put as much grass and bird housing as we could! Oh well, fun times lol Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Or the old "fix a puncture with leaves and grass" thing that just DOESN'T WORK! ← i no but we soon got my mate to do it when he got a puncture on the canal! we were there for 3 hours, and in the end, my other mate took a trip to asda and got us some food so we could sit and eat whilst watching him unsuccsfully fill his tyre with grass! the even funnier part was, after he filled it, he couldnt get his tyre back on, so he had to take it all back out again! joE!
