omg duct tape is the best thing ever invented (either that or zip ties). so i went on a bike ride today and the pod of my break broke, got home and i was ready to ride again, all thanks to duct tape.

post what ever you have used duct tape for too

 

[ZEDMAN]

well my titec el norte seat decided it needed to rip after only a few months of use, so.........i patched it up with some duct and electrical tape. i only had yellow at the time and hey it adds atleast 10 horse power.

Hmmm both bikes appear to be Santa Cruz in origin can I conclude from this that SC likes to atract duct tape,

[DownhillnDunkey]

Ha, zedboy, he said duct tape, not electrical tape, loser, you are the only person to bring up electrical tape, but I have electrical tape on my seat too, so I'm a loser to, but at least I didn't spend like 4 mega days taping it up, like you and your bumblebee seat

hey way-leee. it didnt take me 4 days or 4 mega days (whatever those are) to do that to my seat. you are just jealous of the yellow seat i have and my purple king head set. and i dont want to hear a word about your lock ons that are fading by the way.

 

[merrrrjig]

lol thats pretty ghetto! But whatever works!

 

[Skookum]

if you rip a hole on the sidewall of a tire.... duct tape.

 

[Big_Papa1080]

hell yea, my pants kept getting caught in the chain when i was riding inthe cold, so i duct taped from my knee down on the right leg, then everything worked fine.

 

[IronJim]

is there anything duct tape cant do...?

 

[vtrider]

my friend made a duct tape suitjacket and pants, complete with tie, undershirt, shoes, belt, and goofy hat for something. i wish i had a picture.
but i think that the answer to your question is no. Theres nothing ducttape cant do.

I think this is a quality example:

 

[lovebunny]

i use pink duct tape on my ht as a chainstay protector and to hoild the hydro lines when i have a brake on there

 

[Big_Papa1080]

where does one go to get this colored duct tape? I never see any except the clear stuff, which sucks anyway.

As it turns out, it's not great for ducts:

[laura]

i prefer gaff tape.

 

[DownhillnDunkey]

I have a golf ball in between the inner plate of my blackspire chainguide and my frame. the inner plate is also duct taped to my frame, the point of the duct tape is to keep the inner plate pushed aginst the chainring to keep the chain on. ; )

[KaTooMer]

Give me enough duct tape and zip ties and I will build you a bike.

 

[H8R]

i prefer gaff tape.

*HIGH FIVE*

A voice of reason in this thread. Right on!

Whole parts of my life have been held together with gaff.

 

[escapeartist]

I have 2 duct tape patches in the roof of my '81 rabbit convertible

the point of the duct tape is to keep the inner plate pushed aginst the chainring to keep the chain on. ; )

Isnt that kinda the point of the guide...It may be time for a new one

 

[DownhillnDunkey]

its brand new, its just dirty.but one of the screws you need to hold it in place doesnt go in straight. and anther bolt on there is missing.
