If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

In the way distant past I seem to remember a letter to Mountain Biking UK about how to free an aluminium seat post seized in a steel frame. The answers were:
1: Lots of WD40, then put the frame in a vice and wrench the post around with a pair of mole grips.
2: Cut the post off and use a saw blade to cut the post that's stuck in the frame into little bits.
3: Invent a time machine and go back and grease the post like you should have done in the first place.
Let us know how #3 goes by posting in last week's QOTW.
