Hey!

I've got an old steel frame road bike that has been converted to a fixed-gear commuter... It still has the cable-stops for the original rear brake cable and they now serve no purpose, as I'm only running a front brake. I don't have the tools to grind them off, nor would I want to invest the effort to pre-paint the frame if I did.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for some sort of accessory that would incorporate both the unused cable-stops and the unused rear brake hole. I have considered some sort of LED light strip or a bulb (anchored to the brake hole with wires running through the cable-stops inside housing), but I wanted to see if anyone here had some cool ideas first. I want to keep it pretty clean and minimal, and I'm not adding a rear brake (to nip that snarky comment in the bud). Maybe a turn indicator? I don't know.

Let me know what you think!

Idea, you design it , show yours first...

with a hub dynamo in the front wheel the German Busch and Muller company has a wired LED Headlight, powered by it,

and a lead coming from it powers another LED set in the tail light ..

as you slow down the AC power pulses from the hub dynamo slow down too,

they put a sensor in their tail lights with a charged battery, when the pulses get far between the battery ads power making a brighter brake light.
brighter than the light level from just riding..

IDK what you can do with your protuberance, I'd suggest ignoring it.

That could be cool -- I'll consider it.

Was really expecting more of a turn-out on this post though...
