Back in January of this year I broke the frame on one of my bikes and asked for help from readers concerning whether or not it was worth considering a repair job. In the comments on the post those with experience told me it should not be welded, but rather brazed .

I hopped back on my road bike, which I had put on the shelf for the winter, and immediately felt like I had made a quantum leap in bicycle enjoyment. I had not ridden my road bike in some time and the first day I rode it I noticed how light, responsive, and fun it was to ride.

Küat Racks Bike Lock Camouflages Itself As A Water Bottle

Written by | Tuesday, 11 October 2011

Well, it's less of a weapon, and more like your run-of-the-mill cable lock that's disguised to look like a water bottle attached to your bike's frame. 5mm braided steel cable doesn't really give you an advantage over other cable locks.
