#bikehack — Public Fediverse posts

Best Berm Peak video is where Seth—who usually films himself crashing on some mountainbike trail—suddenly hacks into a failed e-bike's brain via a serial terminal and reimplements the functionality of the now defunct app on an esp32 connected to a touch screen.

edit: Don't miss out on his previous Revo videos. This thing may be one of the most entertaining product design desasters to ever happen.

If you're worried about losing your bike seat and post (a real possibility) here's a quick&dirty bike hack to secure the seat on a bike. It's a bike chain inside an innertube looped through the seat rails and under the stays that hold the carrier.

It should really be looped under the seat stays; I'll make that change when I swap the seat for one that's not held together with duct tape.

Out in the middle of nowhere Scotland, and an integral bit of my bike vanished off through a portal to an alternate dimension. Nae bother. Got wood and a farmers workshop. Jobs a good’un. #HackOrBodge #bikePacking #BikeHack

I’m not buying a gross plastic chain cleaner when I’ve got a perfectly good Thatchers can, knife, reusable zip tie, and an old bamboo toothbrush. #WestCountry #BikeHack #reuse

@dcz uhh, that's evil. so far I always succeded with a combination of wd-40, heat gun, ice spray (works great!!), force, more force, brute force and sticking-the-friggin'-bike-heads-over-heels-in-a-vise-and-using-the-whole-frame-as-a-lever. #bikehack

You can protect your bike frame with tapes of all sort, but this doesn't really cut it if you want to rest your frame against poles to lock up. I covered my top bar with a spiral wrap knotting pattern to get some protection, and prevent the bike from sliding away.

video on how to knot the pattern:
