Hi All

I enjoy tinkering and making some stuff in the garage and thought I might share some of it with all of you.

First up, I decided the top clamp of my seatpost was far too heavy so designed and made one out of carbon fibre instead at ~1/4 the weight. Still needs some refinement but a good start.

Also I'm currently fiddling around with some making some carbon cycling shoes. I have a new mountain bike frame which I intend to custom paint myself in the coming months. For a stretch goal I'm also toying with designs for pretty unique looking carbon crank arms.

Its intended to replace the top plate from a KS Lev Ci but there it'll probably work on posts with M5 bolts and with a few tweaks I could do M6.
