Bike hacks.

[Clayton]

For those who don't follow the Rivendell Facebook page, I posted three bike hacks for the tinkerers among you, on Facebook's Rivendell page. Two are regarding kickstands and one is for a quick release Wald basket. I hope these can help fix problems you might have.

For those of us who are not Facebook afficionados, could you post these in an email?

Thanks.

I just went to what I thought was the Riv Facebook page, Clayton, and found nothing there from you.  How long ago did you post the hacks?

It's on the Rivendell owners page. Clayton, if you start making those basket qr's I'd be first in line to buy a few. Genius

Patrick, and to those who don't follow Facebook, here are the videos and photos you have requested. Three bike hacks; two for the kickstand and one for a quick release Wald basket (final design). I hope these help the frustrated tinkerers out there. I am sharing these 'inventions' with the group to use. Have fun. I spend almost all of my time trying to find the easiest, fastest way of fixing problems that I have while touring. I am an obsessed bike nerd. The rear mounted kickstand, with the flotation pad and strap is the most secure stable parking set up I have ever used and I have tried many. I am scheming on a way to lock the stand down, but that is a project for another day. I hope this helps someone. Thanks for the interest.

Anti Floppage strap! I sewed a flat piece of elastic (that was stretched to maximum length), to a narrow nylon strap, with bar tacks every 1/2". One end is sewn into the interior of my frame bag, and the other is sewn to a leather loop to loop over the brake lever. When the front end is loaded, the wheel wants to flop over to the left. As it does so, it pulls the strap tight on the rear brake. I adjusted the length so the wheels are inline when parked. This works wonderfully, and is super fast. Every time I 'fire' the strap to put it away, it makes me feel like a kid with a new sling shot. Fun.

This shows a quick release Wald basket on a Nitto Big Rack. I shared the old design with the group two years ago or so. This one is better. The photos below are the result of many prototype failures. Finally achieved a flotation pad for my kickstand (soft dirt, sand) that I won't forget, and is durable enough to last.  It is a two inch diameter piece of ABS with a heat molded (heat gun and gloves) top 'shoe' that surrounds the Greenfield rubber foot. It fit's slightly tight, so that you have to work it on a wee bit. The spring keeps it semi-permanently mounted. When touring, I will just leave it on. I tested it on some sand unloaded, and it works great.

Thanks -- I will review and doubtless archive!

All three are fantastic, very polished hacks!

The basket mount is my favorite.

all great ideas, but I especially like the flop cord idea.   Where did you get that great frame bag?  

thanks again

I made the frame bag too.  I originally was going to use a key chain belt retractor for an anti-floppage-device, but the strap is bomb proof and lighter. If you make your own, make sure the elastic does not have too much strength or it will pull the bars around. The strap could work from a saddle bag or a rack trunk too. It just wouldn't  be quite as easy to put away.

Tom did you see them on the list, looks like he put it directly in a thread.
