A mate of mine is renown for his unique bike repair methods and laissez faire attitude to danger.
He's out in France at the mo and these are pics of his latest bike repair to keep his yeti going for the Mega Avalanche.

Hopefully it'll break on the snowy bit and not the rocks. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Hmm, this has cracked, must need some holes drilling in it.

I went on holiday to les gets once with him, and he took a bike with one gear, rigid forks and just a rear brake. The brake hosing melted on one descent ๐Ÿ™‚
I reckon he'll still be getting down the course faster and with better style than most people though.

I'm out here (at the mega) and have a broken hand. He can probably borrow my bike if he wants..

well, helicopters are in no way as graceful as fixed wing aircraft, but i'm sure it'll be a smooth flight ๐Ÿ˜€

I think that's the type of person you don't want to loan your bike to. Not if you like your bike, anyway.

Ingenious.

I'm sure the Mega is the ideal place to test new concepts like that...

I would have plated it.
