Hi,
While Packing my bike today, I tought it would be nice if everybody could share their creative duct-taping ideas.

I'd love learning about new things I could attach to the frame with some duct tape.

a spear duct taped to my top tube worked wonders in the peloton....

you could probably fashion an entire frame bag out of duct tape on your bike if you really wanted too.... just not sure how to close it.

LOL

I've engineered all sorts of repairs and mods with duct tape. It's fast and easy, but in the end it creates a glue-ey, gooey mess. Still, it'll always have a place in my repair kit.

Maybe I should start a thread Zip Tie works?  icon_biggrin

Cheers...

Hehe, gives me an idea. did up a footprint the other day from tyvek, reinforced the corners with gaffa tape before hole punching them. I might booty-fab a bag for my old giant VT, with tyvek, gaffa tape and hotmelt. I'd be lucky to use this bike once a year for trips, so I'm sure I can make it last. SFD (stitch free design) for SFA (guess Smiley )

Beautiful, man.  Stick a straw in it, and it's a 2 gallon hydration pack.
