Keep some Rope
After a friend of mine slipped in a curve cause suddenly there as gravel all over the place one of her bolts, or however you call them, that connect the handlebar with the upper fork brace (? right word, my mechanical english sucks, correct me if wrong) cracked.
So, quickly found a piece of wood at the side of the road and combined with wire, rope and sweat we created a, aehm...., mechanical masterpiece o.O:

We did another 150 km that evening, some mild gravel, and around 35 in the morning before finding the right parts. Dumb lucky we were to find them, though I'm sure this would have lasted. |
