Post pics of your bicycle bodge jobs here!
1st up, Crud Catcher mudguard transformation. The rear kept falling off every time I went over earth worm castings so a more robust solution was sought: bolt it directly to the frame via the panier bolt holes on the seat stay. The mud guard was wider than the seat stay so I used rear shock bushings as spacers. Unfortunately I'd chopped a little too much off the front of the mudguard meaning I still got sprayed by the rear wheel. This was solved by cutting the arms off a Mucky Nutz Fender Bender and super gluing it (after roughing it up with sandpaper) to the Crud Catcher. I disliked the front Crud Catcher attached to the downtube so attached it directly to the fork arch using a jubilee clip (they are quite old crappy forks). To prevent a small amount of water escaping via the usual mounting holes, I liberally applied the glue gun on the top and underside of them,
