I rode (slowly) for 4 miles on a tyre stuffed full of foliage once.
My cap is duly dothed to the above bodge.

That's a reasonably well engineered solution, NOT a bodge at all!
good point i agree.Posted 1 year ago # -
In sillyarsetrackworld that problem is already covered by a titanium bashring and a Pauls bit of plastic and aluminium, total price £70.

My best bodge was on a bike - but one with an engine.
Crashed my BMW 1100GS in the Himalayas and punched a hole in the aluminium cylinder heads. BMW spares were not an option.
Perceived wisdom was to mix some araldite with cotton wool, pack the hole and let it set. Luckily the german guy I was with had some 2 part glue but we couldn't locate any cotton wool.
My GF had gone home (due to a paragliding accident) but rooting around in my stuff I found a tampon. Opened it up, mixed the glue in and slapped it on.
Hey Presto! Still holding 3 yrs later. Got another head cover but never fitted it.

The true gods of bodge live in small villages in India and Africa.
Or for that matter remote communities in Oz - anyone seen "Bush Mechanics"?
We can only dream of reaching their levels of ingenuity

>I use an old mech wedged open with the bit-o-plastic that came with it. Works beautifully.why would you do that when the mech has adjuster screws that can do the same thing more simply, elegantly and permanently?
