    A) Gaffer Tape
    B) Hammer

    If it moves when it shouldn’t – Tool A
    If it doesn’t move when it should – Tool B

    Generally works for me–also have one additional tool:
    Tool C) Automobile

    If A or B don’t work, drive tool C to the LBS/hardware store for a new whatever you are trying to fix.

    Bit of string between the saddle and the seat clamp so when I pull the saddle back up after a descent it comes straight to the right height every time (too stingy for a dropper post).

    Oooh, interesting!

    Is that a home build? Looks like a spring from a Brooks saddle?

    That’s got me thinking…….

    Bit of wood/stone under the front mech to keep it in the middle ring after a broken cable. Tidy bodge.

    Puts my lego brick into perspective!
