Today in the barn.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Okay, can anyone guess what today's project was?

Just need to make a couple of minor alterations to the mould and who knows, it might even become a production item :wink:

Something to both bury s**t and stop such afformentiomed s**t from flinging back up into waterbottles?

An afro comb for bald people?

Thoughwithout any scale of size it could be a superlight portable bike ramp? For adding GNAR to overnighters?

You know, I never thought of using a drain pipe ... it would have saved all the effort of making a mould and heat forming them.

Took a bit of searching but I wasn't dreaming, this thread does exist...

Having been out on the Monstercrosser yesterday riding Dorset and Wiltshire's muddiest drove roads, I find myself dreaming of some bottle s*** deflectors so I don't have to keep relocating my bottle into my back pocket, resort to the camelback or fit full mudguards.

Any chance these deflectors went into production? I suspect not as I can't find them on the shop page.

The other option is to get a bottle with a lid on. I use an elite bottle with a lid if I want to protect the spout from mud, but also have the special lid to go on a camelbak podium bottle (but I've yet to use it)

Would love to. :-bd

I use Podium bottles but didn't know they existed, thanks. Looks like it might be a two-handed operation to remove / refit though (expecting that it'll be covered in s*** so I don't want to pull it off with my teeth).

Dual use ... or in this case, possibly duel use?


I'll get you a couple of spear flights send over Paul.

I'm going to try making something similar using plastic drainpipe but with more holes on the long section so that it doubles as a water bottle cage mover downer.

Think you'll need something thicker than drainpipe Colin. I can't see it taking a thread very well or supporting the weight of a bottle.

I was hoping that it might work if only moving it by a couple of cm. I know it wouldn't take a thread so it would have to have a small nut behind*
