Any one repaired a bike related item with Sugru?
thought about making a chainstay bumper for my mech with it - does that count ?
Used it to join a Cateye bracket to a DX light, fix rattling rear lights and attach a cross plate to a rear rack for a light bracket. Useful stuff.
Annoying Magura plastic hose cover held in place with the stuff, and I used it to hold some cable away from the frame. Just hacks really - nothing that couldn't have been fixed otherwise using proper gear! Personally I found that Sugru doesn't take well to vibration and / or anything that might tear it.
mended the controller on my old leccy bike with it. lasted for a year until i sold the bike.
Good to hear these real-life Sugru experiences.
Just got this FB share from #3 son on this self-curing silicon rubber:

The carbon swing-arm on a Yeti 5 protrudes below the bottom bracket exposing it to stone strikes. So used Sugru.
Bike was stolen so if anyone sees a frame like this - its mine!
