Crank bolt broke on me so I had to do this roadside fix - this is after I tidied it up at campsite to be bit less ugly.

I have all photos - breakage, this fix and more permanent fix from bike shop on mastodon the thread

    I was conflicted on commenting, since I’d just be echoing what everyone else said. But whatever… This is a seriously cool kludge to get you down the road.

    Do the QR skewer end bits hit your ankle bones and shoes?

      I don’t notice them that much, only they catch clothing and laces. Alternative is not riding at all and get back home so I will get this minor inconvenience as tradeoff.
