Just out of interest, how much are you charging for that? I've also got an altitude that doesnt fit a coil...

Anyone made their own mud scraper? I'm thinking about using the bash guard holes to fix something that scrapes the mud and leaves off my chainring. Not sure if it'll work but I'm up for an experiment.

He said he is a student, i.e., on a budget. It doesn't mean he found the price excessive.

Yes I certinaly dont find the price excessive, in fact its quite the bargain for what you're getting.

However my budget doesnt quite have that much money in it for bike parts at the moment.

Oh shit sorry, I totally missed the student bit. I did stop reading after the words "bit rich". I make stuff too and I get shitty when told I'm too expensive... Carry on ..

Lol- Magura of all you idiocies and ignorance this question by far sets you in the best light. To assume that my retirement has come from patenting a product is so obtuse- it's not even worthy of a response. However, given self contradiction is a terrible thing, I'll suck it up this time. Magura- I'm probably twice your age and that's enough said... as you progress in life you'll realise there's more to it than flashing "fancy" parts on a bike site- good luck, I hope you get to retire soon off of all those idiots that you "cash in on" I'm sure you'll sleep like a baby! Until then- keep keeping the young sheep here interested in your BS. Wink

Well, that's how most engineers I know retired, and how I did so myself.
Your assumptions are roughly as wrong as the rest of the BS you've been spilling here.


Magura Big Grin

Really you retired?

Yes, a few years ago, doing the odd project here and there just to stay in the game.
How are you doing? You've been silent for a while.
Still working with Shibi?
