SubscribeGertie is, as you well know, my new bike. I’ve never raced her before and as such, never had to put a race number on.
This evening while prepping to put her into the bike check tomorrow, I started pondering where to put the number… this proved to be an issue.
There’s nowhere on the frame that a big race number fits well… So off to the dollar store I went and I have to say, I’m pretty happy with my MacGyver-ing™
- 2 flexible gel rulers (I was looking for hacksaw blades, but these work and have no risk of marring the frame or seatpost)
- some black electric tape
- a few zip ties
This will do for this event, but it has a few issues:
- the rulers, even taped together, are still a bit flexible
- the rulers are too wide (tall?) and impinge on the Di2 battery release track
I was thinking that the frame has a hole for a traditional brake set and so utilizing that and maybe a plexiglass sheet could make for a better and less flimsy solution. For Sunday though, this will definitely do 🙂
