#i-rack

i made a handle for the bike basket that I had previously made detachable by making my own iRack-system mounting brackets because those german bastards who own the IP won't let anyone sell accessories in north america.

IT WORRRRRRRRRKS!

Put basket on rack, slide forward, press the button, CLICK, LOCKED ON. Pick up bike with basket! Well don't do that in general but it's a good test. Put the bike down now. Push button, CLICK, slide basket back, NO MORE BIKE BASKET! Put it back down, repeat.

So TAKE THAT, GERMANY! Or whoever said "thou shalt not sell iRack systems in North America," whoever the fuck you are. I'll make my OWN detachable baskets.

I already built three more pairs of these mounting units. I'm gonna attach EVERYTHING to my bicycle. INCLUDING OTHER BICYCLES MAYBE but na what i really want is options of no basket, basket, and waterproof case. That's the real point.

Oh, so you don't want to sell your special rack system accessories to north america, weird German bicycle rack maker? Is that how you're going to play it? You're gonna put special agreements in your reseller contracts so none of them can ship here either? Not even on German eBay?

WELL FINE I'LL JUST MAKE SOME.

I will reverse-engineer your goddamn system and make it out of matching metal and I'll do it with WOOD TOOLS because THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. I will turn a $5 garage-sale corded drill into a METAL GRINDER. I will turn LEFTOVER ALUMINIUM sized in ENGLISH UNITS into COUNTER-STRESSED SELF-STABLE OBJECTS that fit your METRIC racks and I will do it with my HANDS and SANDPAPER.

And you know what's holding it all together? Do you? Huh? Even after I kind of accidentally tossed it across the room onto the cement floor? See how it stayed together? Perfectly? Unchanged? Do you, German maker of weird bike racks?

It's not glue! It's not screws! It's PRECISION. As in PRECISION. CASCADIAN. ENGINEERING.

And also spite.
