Thought I'd best post something up ... seeing as all the people asking for a seperate MYOG section have vanished

So, any idea what this is?

Cross piece is stainless, top and bottom cups are aluminium and cut away to allow the cross piece to locate within them. 10.5mm hole goes through everything. Here's a clue ... it's something to do with carrying gear.

Some way of carrying tarp pole?

Nice guess Mike but nope.

Absolutely no idea but you've got me wanting to know!

Will keep thinking.....

Mmmmmm, not sure, but I reckon I need a Titanium one 'cos that looks like it may be 2grams over what I am looking for

No idea.

I suppose I'll need to get making stuff now the MGOG board is here.

At first, i thought it was something like this, but with only a 10.5mm hole, i cant see how you would mount this anywhere near the bars.

The only place i could think to mount it would be using the QR skewers, but im not sure if mounted there what carrying capacity it would offer.

Im very interested to find out what its for now!

Does it work like a boat cleat?

I can see why you'd think that ... but no, it isn't one of those.

Nope.

Here's another clue ... this will be a substitute for something all bikes already have.

Thing to go through seat rails and suspend a bag on?
Lightweight handlebars?

Or maybe a seatpost with a hole in it to attach something (a rack?) ?

Fred Bar alternative.

What do I win?

Can we have a scale?

Nowt

Can we have a scale?

The hole's 10.5mm.

Last clue ...

inc' 20" wheeled shoppers but the relationship of the parts on a shopper don't allow me to fit something without using this. ????

You already know the hole is 10.5mm, what more do you need?

Tying to think what's got an M10 thread ... Rear axle or dérailleur bolt are the only two. Does it fit in place of the rear wheel/axle?

oooowww.....i know Stu!! Haha but im not giving it away as that would ruin the game ill be suprised if anyones gets it though

Think I've got it.

Oh aye, I forgot you'd seen bits strewn over the workshop

The bolt size is a bit of a red herring ... don't think about what it could bolt to, better to think what it could do if it were bolted in a specific place.

Some sort of extension to the steer tube to lift the front end high enough for a dropped handlebar?

It bolts to the top of your steerer tube and you can use it to hang you hammock from when you can only find one other hanging point

No but you're starting to think along the right lines

For hanging your shopping basket?

Bolts to the stem or fork crown to fix a bar bag harness to.

Well done that man ... This bolts onto the headtube. The distance between the fork crown and the bars is about 3 miles, so I needed something to take the place of the fork crown for the bottom straps.
