Sell the many to fund the few
So over the years I have bought, fixed and sold lots of bikes. I always run across peoples "Fixes" here are a few that were on a recent bike I purchased. What have you run across?
I've seen live .22 long rifle rounds used for fuses. And strips of beer cans shimming-up rod bearings.SONICJK said:HaHA
I've used the old aluminum foil on the busted fuse trick before. Granted, only until i could get to the store to get a new fuse ???
i like the wire nut. Electrician?
The problem is if it "works" for a very short period of time or a long time its not a proper fix and can cause Huge issues. Mainly I hate it when you buy a bike and its "been fixed" in a crap way and they don't tell you. At some of the shops I have worked at I have seen a tun of stuff the was "Fixed" just enough to get it workingish when looking over a bike someone wants to buy.Rich Ard said:So far I see a bunch of stuff that worked. Looking forward to seeing something catastrophic.
