Today in the barn.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Okay, can anyone guess what today's project was?



Just need to make a couple of minor alterations to the mould and who knows, it might even become a production item

A loo trowel you can fit to your bottle cage mounts.

What do I win?

Kind of Colin but not quite.

[HaYWiRe]

Something to both bury s**t and stop such afformentiomed s**t from flinging back up into waterbottles?

An afro comb for bald people?

Thoughwithout any scale of size it could be a superlight portable bike ramp? For adding GNAR to overnighters?

[ScotRoutes]

Pah! On another forum I frequent, you're not allowed serious answers until page 2

Stop making stuff I want.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Stop making stuff I want.

I'm kind of hoping other people might want them too ... I've got some nice pink if you like?

[Taylor]

Mind, Matt will be along shortly to say he's got a patent with his milk bottle sh!t deflectors.

[Bearbonesnorm]

with his milk bottle sh!t deflectors.

Don't you mean ... with his sh!t milk bottle delectors.

[Mike]

[Taylor]

with his milk bottle sh!t deflectors.

Don't you mean ... with his sh!t milk bottle delectors.

That's the one.

[Matt]

In other news, Travis Perkins in Newtown are out of stock of drain pipes

You know, I never thought of using a drain pipe ... it would have saved all the effort of making a mould and heat forming them.

Took a bit of searching but I wasn't dreaming, this thread does exist...

Having been out on the Monstercrosser yesterday riding Dorset and Wiltshire's muddiest drove roads, I find myself dreaming of some bottle s*** deflectors so I don't have to keep relocating my bottle into my back pocket, resort to the camelback or fit full mudguards.

Any chance these deflectors went into production? I suspect not as I can't find them on the shop page.

Not yet Paul but still on the cards. I shall make you some and you can try / test them if you like?

[Dave Barter]

Is it a flight for a spear?

[benp1]

The other option is to get a bottle with a lid on. I use an elite bottle with a lid if I want to protect the spout from mud, but also have the special lid to go on a camelbak podium bottle (but I've yet to use it)

Would love to.

I use Podium bottles but didn't know they existed, thanks. Looks like it might be a two-handed operation to remove / refit though (expecting that it'll be covered in s*** so I don't want to pull it off with my teeth).

[Bearbonesnorm]

Is it a flight for a spear?

Dual use ... or in this case, possibly duel use?


I'll get you a couple of spear flights send over Paul.

[Dyffers]

Much appreciated.

I'm going to try making something similar using plastic drainpipe but with more holes on the long section so that it doubles as a water bottle cage mover downer.

Think you'll need something thicker than drainpipe Colin. I can't see it taking a thread very well or supporting the weight of a bottle.

I was hoping that it might work if only moving it by a couple of cm. I know it wouldn't take a thread so it would have to have a small nut behind*
