About: Hey! My name is Roey Leon, from Tel Aviv, Israel. On my free time, as a hobby of mine, I love building stuff from scratch. It always starts with a crazy idea, and then I realize that it`s too Dangerous / Unach…
Hey
i`m trying to increase the overall workout time on my road bike
currently i`m riding between 2-2.5 hours per ride and i plan to extend it to a 3 hour +
so i decided to build a rear cage , i wanted it to be Carbon fiber , but i don`t have the material yet ( ordered it from eBay )
so the compromise for me is to build it from lightweight aluminum . is strong, durable and light.
Work process:
cut from some aluminum angle that i had two 8cm pieces , drilled it with holes to be mounted to the rear part of the saddle.
then i will attach the aluminum angle that will hold the bottle cages.
btw , the bottle cages are Carbon fiber , just to clarify.
my main goal is to make everything carbon :)
enjoy
