And whats that for Young Andrew??

[bistard]

Is it for the gear change linkage I gave you??
The other option,is if the threads on it are ok & it just needs to be longer,cut it & weld a section it it

[Skunk]

Nah, the current rod only has one thread on it and the rod is too short. Both ends have to be left hand. I was expecting one to be right hand but noooo...

[bistard]

I am not home tonight,but will have a look in my spares to see if I have another one,better suited

230mm long with a left hand M6x1 on each end would be ideal ;)

Actually just another rod with a thread and I'll weld them together.

Can't see why you would want both LH thread. If they are one of each you can turn the rod while all on the bike shortening & lengthening the rod thus adjusting lever height. A new rod eye is pretty cheap from Schroderco or where ever.

I don't want both left, they just are. And they're not bolted to the levers at the knuckles either. That's why I expected one left and one right.

pity i cant lend you the bosses gear :(

[Skunk]

Could you do it then...?

[Wasp]

no sorry, only allowed to use them for work jobs (its not like trade tools or anything, they are his personal tools, i work in a laptop company remember?)

plus i suck at it :(

How do you think it broke? That's right - I followed your advice.
