Bob Warfield posted about the inexpensive bicycle cam clamps he's bought on Ebay. In that thread, mentioned I'd been considering using them for a mod to my el cheapo "economy" QCTP. I dropped in the local bicycle shop today and asked if they had any. The young guy took me behind the counter to their work area and pulled out a box. In the box were about 25 of them, all used. It seems many owners request they be removed from their bicycles and the box is where they wind up. I secured a pair for $5.00 and went on my way.
This evening, I spent about 45 minutes modifying the QCTP bolt and fitting the new cam lock. What a thing of beauty. 1/4 turn forward, swivel the cam and the tool holder is free. Pop in another, twist the cam and then give it 1/4 turn to vertical in order to cinch things tight. The mod is tucked nicely out of the way and I'm not going to be chasing that pesky allen wrench anymore when I need to swap tools.
Thanks, Bob for the clamp source and for making an easy and effective mod even easier to do.
