Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Stop buying tons of new small parts, maybe you can hack it back together with sugru?

i love stuff like this, can't stand it when I'm paying 5 dollars for a specialized clasp, bolt,etc. Lemme know if you guys come up with any cool uses for it....

I think the video and website are a little short on specifics. Kind of reminds me of Tom Waits on "Step Right Up": It's new....it's improved....it's old fashioned....it's the only product you will ever need.

I'd use it on the toe plate of a carbon soled shoes... if I hadn't already put down a bead of shoe goo last year.

Looks like other than adding rubber feet to things, I wouldn't really have any use for it.

You must lack an incredible amount of technical knowledge if you think rubber putty is going to replace a steel bolt.

yeah, you're right - a bolt is definitely too extreme of a use for that stuff. Still, adding feet to things, protectant, quieting/damping material, grip material... it's got plenty of uses.
