Mystery objects

Guy's and gals,

I just found these two articles on the garage floor (the sharpies for scale) where I've been fitting some parts to my new bike. They're a pair I'd guess. They're very well made, out of high grade plastic. I don't have a clue what they are. I've been fitting the following parts. New Ergon grips, a D lock, mudguards (Top Peak Defenders). I've also recently bought a Saris Bones 2 cycle rack. I have some power tools like SDS drill, 9" grinder, Multitool etc. The items look quite familiar as though I should know what they are. Can anyone help please?

P.S. they fit nicely in your hand.

Are they tapered l.e. Wedged shaped?

Are they tapered l.e. Wedged shaped?

Indeed they are, finely tapered to the narrower end.

Looks to me like they are for levelling furniture or such on an uneven floor, would they snap at the indents?

 

[Jon Matthews]

I don’t think they’d snap at the indents as they have reinforcing ribs on the back. They also have a radius which wouldn’t make them a good wedge. Thanks though.

Ski ramps for mice?

They are to wedge open the door when you want to wheel your bike out ..

Floor pump foot rest. I once owned one with metal foot rests that came with similar plastic clip in pieces for optional use
