Search the forum, this question usually just turns into a flame fest. I guess I have a few, but it's all minor stuff.
I run a London mod double lower cable with a shop-built dual cable retainer at the front removable cable spot. I was gonna grab some aluminum and make a better one this spring, but haven't had any "essential" reasons to go to the hardware store yet.
Upper double gyro cable broke at Christmas time, I made a custom double knarp to fix it.
My front brake cable rubbed on the break arm, so I Dremmel'ed it out to get a smoother pull, I guess that counts?
I bought a tripod seat on sale, and it sits at the worst angle ever. I've ground down the front flange of the tripod to make it less bad.
My front fork is zero offset, has brake mounts, and was advertised as "for larger tires," but apparently that's only for brakeless riders. Anything larger than 1.75" rubs the brake arm. I drilled and tapped a hole in my front pegs to set a detent that sits against the dropout to hold the axle lower and clear the brake arms. Not ideal, but it works for flatland riding. I really need to build a second bike for street riding.
The paint on my fork flaked off under the stem, so no matter how much I tightened it, it only pinched the sides and still rocked back and forth to pry loose. I cut an aluminum can to shim it at the front and it stays put now.
My last one is just an idea so far, but I have so many old bluetooth headphone and speaker pieces around that I've been looking for a speaker that would fit in a hollow fork bolt...
Remember when you could ride all day and not be sore for a week?
