My custom front lamp bracket started to break this morning. It is made
from a Bluemels pump and a water bottle cage bracket. It is a little
springy so I braced it with a strip of aluminium and this strip is
starting to tear. I'll have to make a steel one out of the packing piece
that was holding the drum of my new washing machine in place as it was
delivered.

Parts from the washing machine on your bike? I think you have to have
a go at the hour record if you do that.

My experience of sheet aluminium as a material for lamp brackets
(custom or otherwise) is uniformly unsatisfactory. See if you can
find a bit of gash stainless lying around.

Well, depends under whos rules. Now the UCI have mandated a traditional fork
(have they?), there is the option of using a SON. Obviously Chris B's bike
with its monoblade affair couldn't do this - maybe this is why they banned
them.

cheers,

Have they not now banned hour record attempts altogether, in order to
prevent Graeme winning it back?
