Bike hacks

I did a quick search and did not find anything, if there is a bike hacks thread then mods can move this.

 

[a.s.]

Yes. We need this thread.

So simple, yet never thought of it. Could’ve used that one a number of times over the years on the trail. Sometimes that link can be a bitch.

This seems like a lot more effort than needed. I would guess I could find 12 random items to use before I flipped my bike for this.

About that time of year to switch out the summer air in your tires for winter air.

This is why I carry one of these in my pack along with spare master links for both Shimano and SRAM. Takes up very little room.

100%. Except I don't ride, or carry, anything Shimano, ever.

Stan’s injector. Right thru the valve stem. You can trust me, I’m one of the biggest hacks going.

You can just use a Stan's mini bottle right thru the valve stem. Get one for free at a race/event and then just refill it.

I went even better. Cut the bottom off the bottom mini bottle and pour from the quart.

You don't fill yours up 😉

Can you provide a link for that?

I do the same except when we were at the factory Stan gave Joy a lifetime supply of those bottles. So I've been working my way through those bottles and also probably killing the environment with all those bottles.

So life hack, go to the factory for any cool product, get a tour, get free products.
