Today's feature is a caliper guard for my Big Dummy. Xtracycle makes one. It's a good one I guess. But I like to make the things that I can. I like to make them out of scrap metal too. Industrial scrap. Stuff that will be sold for scrap value only, or thrown away. I dig through the scrap bin several times a day to find the most bikable parts I can. I've made several things for bikes out of scrap and would make a lot more if only more stuff would get scraped or thrown away. The caliper guard is the latest part out of scrap.
