Re: Home Made Gadgets

that would be a good idea and then we wouldn't have to go searching for things that don't show up on a search like that little gadget that you forgot where it was

Re: Home Made Gadgets

I like this
and once there are a good few ideas, the best can be assembled into a pocket book and sold in the shop

I have a little book of home made jigs and things for woodworking that came on the front of a mag about ten years ago and I still use it.

Re: Home Made Gadgets

Hi LV - a quick update on your suggestion.

All the mods and admins thought this a good idea and a new sub forum will be put into the Bike Tech thread.

I've no idea yet what it's to be called, but I'm sure DaveS will come up with something appropriate
