I know there's a few on here that like a bit of bodging and tinkering.
Here's my latest, Now replaced with a proper part.
Needed a hanger for a rear brake, Kept looking at seat clamps, But either looked shite, Were too expensive, Or wrong size. Even thought about trying to use the part from a Odyssey Pitbull some how, But they seem to command silly money now. So made my own just so I could test ride the bike. Made from an old spoke and barrel adjuster and using 2 pairs of pliers and a dremel.
Bit of bending and twisting

Kinda prefer the ghetto one. Top bodging :daumenhoch:

I've got quite a few spokes, Might get myself some silver solder and have a go at some more using some heat to get a neater bend and silver solder to put on a adjuster, Should have a few of them in the spares box.
This is the Niito one
