Many small cruiser racers are sensitive to rig adjustments – and if you race regularly you’ll need to adjust the bottlescrews frequently. It’s a pain having to remove split pins all the time, so here’s an idea – using heavy-duty cable ties, tie the two bottlescrews together with two ties. Then, when it’s time to adjust it, cut them, do the work and zip on two more. Job done.
