A good friend of mine with a lot of biking experience does his own "red neck" tubeless with tire flat fixer spray or something. I have thought of it. But I have too little time these days.

Head lamp was "free" because I reused my daughter's rarely used "head lamp" for camping. It is LED, uses ordinary AAA batteries, and can be set to flash. Nice.


Here you see the fender I made from an automotive lining found in the street, the clear-coat and glass-bead reflectance on the battery pack, and the freeway road marker reflector I found on the 91 freeway while performing some emergency aeromod repairs to my civic! You can also see my mag light tail light, for which I made a red filament using busted car taillight fragments in the road.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
