Hi all,

I’ve found this in my bike tool box, do any of you know what it is?

It is entirely possible it has nothing to do with cycling but merely fell in that box – I should probably tidy my shed…

‘Friends’ have already suggested it’s one of my wife’s sex toys so that joke is bagsied 😀 !

Is it an invisible sex toy?

It’s definitely an adjustable sight for a tenon saw

Wild guess: Flag clamp for a recumbent.

FTFY 😉

Wild guess: Flange clamp for a recumbent.

At a guess, for comparing the diameter of rods or tubes? Based on the blunted point and the lockring.

Sight for something isn’t a bad guess.

Archery?

Nipple clamp.

Never had a recumbent so that would be impressive!
Tenon saw you say…. hmmm

Part of a fishing rod rest?

It is a vague possibility that it was with a fletcher’s kit, so maybe it was for measuring the diameter of an arrow shaft??? No toxophiles here?

could be a sight for a bow then?

I used to have a self bow (snapped and cut my face!) but no idea where that would have attached.

It is quite similar to a very basic bowsight but I’ve never seen an attachment anything like that and am 99% sure it’s something else. It’s deffo not for measuring arrows. Not for use with a surveying tool or anything like that?

It’s not a bowsight that clamps onto a front stabiliser arm?

Definitely not for a recumbent 😉

an adjustable shaft guide for a fletching jig?

Might conceivably be a rear sight that clamps onto a compound bow string guide for Compound Unlimited class?

Only had a self bow so no new-fangled attachy bits. I did however buy a Leica dumpy level last year…. cross-contamination of kits?

It’s the sight off a Barnett catapult…

I just got one recently!

I was nearly right 🙂

indeed – good call.

And now I can do some work…

Completely useless by the way, which is why it probably ended up in the shed!

I knew that ,but I is too slow at posting 😉

THANK YOU CYCLINGWEAKLY! I do indeed have one of those catapults (most amusing :wink:). There we go, we can all go back to work now, thanks one and all!!!

Yup, the counter balance bits will be somewhere else in the shed 🙂

According to google reverse image search it’s a gun so almost right…

Things are never completely useless. I keep everything, and get great satisfaction from bodging a fix on something from a piece of something else that could have been thrown away

That’s my excuse and I’m keeping it!
