Martha Stewart couldn’t do this but I bet you could.

I can imagine the unique sensation of smearing JB Weld all over the clean lines and pristine spoke holes of a Campy Record front hub and smooshing it into the fat half of a Campy Record 11-speed cassette, but I’m not into $700 drivetrains or candlesticks.  

However, I am into resourcefully re-using readily available resources, predominantly Shimano compatible. There’s of milk crate full of raw materials somewhere near you.

I’m also a fan of things taken out of context and put back in.

Take an old 9-speed cassette, the shell of an Ultegra front hub and some JB Weld and you’ve got yourself an elegant one-of-a-kind candlestick for your mom.
