That is cool. I tried making a bottle opener from a Scwhinn stem shifter- didnt work. I have made bottle openers from chain and old cassettes.

And the my favorite - Coaster Brake Pepper Grinder

Cool stuff. I may have to try one of the bottle openers.

Years ago we had a wheel hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen that we used as a a pot/pan rack.

Paper towel holder.

Don't know if these count...

Tire used on the skid contest plaque.

yeah, man!

i figured rrb was the place for this sort of ingenuity! cman- i've tried that sprocket opener too, i didn't have much luck w/out a flat spot at the rear of the opening. also did some schwinn shifters but that 'pot metal' didn't hold up for me. that pepper grinder is neat i wish i could think of a use for front hub shells, they seem to be everywhere....locojoe- that paper towel holder is really clever, love the 'skid mark'. keep 'em coming guys, i know there's more out there!

You can see in my pic there is a front hub. I made it into a salt shaker. Pretty simple. I just removed the bearings, added a clear sheet plastic and used the bearing retainer to hold into place. Poke a few holes and cork the bottom. Chris King uses their second hubs to make salt shakers and sell at $60.

Bumping this up. Hopefully some new ideas to be seen.
