What's been your best bodge?
Pretty chuffed with zip ties holding my swing arm together after it decided it didn't like being a swing arm.
Not so good was a cocktail we made at a party that ne named 'bodge' that required the use of a strainer to remove lumps and debris. That I have mixed feelings over.
Held my mech hanger on for half a day with zip ties in the alps
The usual inner tube slings
A few bent canoes have been straightened and bits of forest added to continue down the he river in my time.
Threaded steerer on the new forks for paperround /go to school bike was too short.(last ones got bent in stair jumping incident)
With no real understanding of what I was doing I just hacked off the relevant amount from the head tube top and bottom freehand with a hacksaw and refitted headset cups
That bike took a beating for another 2 years. Long live emmelle cheatah
I was 14 at the time! No bodge has beat that yet 🙂
