curtispro:
We used to drill our brake levers and install a small machined bolt in with a spring on it to keep the brake applied freeing up your hands whilst doing crazy tricks  :LolLolLolLol: we used to put the drill in a vice with a 6mm bolt in it then file it down to make the profile, we were smart 12 year olds :daumenhoch:

spesh:
cut up an ice cream container to make my own brake guard and put an oakley sticker on it no-one knew the difference :daumenhoch:

MartyC:
At school I made about half a dozen powerdisks but the alloy was not up to the job and they bent and twisted or ripped the chainring bolts out  :LolLolLolLol:

I also drilled my brake calipers and made a pre-bent lever into a nifty two finger jobby (using the school workshop again) but it hurt like hell when you actually used it  ;D

M5AT:
We used to nick that orange bunsen burner tubing from school & use it for lever cover/grip thingies, saved us buying the expensive Sharp ones.

Also used to buy dead long hub spindles, to save buying expensive trick nuts.

& also used to stick disused brake levers on our forks, saved us buying expensive fork standers.

Tight-arsed bunch we were.

animal:
Made my own handlebars  ;D think I was about 13  :daumenhoch:
