    ah, gutting Ross.

    Sleep is for lectures, which is what I'm probably going to end up doing.

    I'm thinking I'm gonna have to rock up to the fixit, grab the clutch cable, disappear off to get a new one somewhere and then come back and do the oil and maybe move the gear lever down a tiny bit. And also do stuff to my xs (like steal its wof+rego box things)

    Atomic bike wreckers repaired mine for $30 or something. Can't remember.
    (Thought it was remade too long due to my cable already being stretched, and I didn't mention that to him)

    rob, as far as I know, yes. Not sure when, but I'll be in a cage. Hoping that some place where I can get a cheap cable repair is open on a sat

    well, turns out the problem with the accross was NOT a snapped cable.

    Rather, not the turney bit (yeah, i don't know its technical name) but the bit the turny bit turns in for activating the clutch (what the clutch lever pulls, it turns a "bolt" sorta thing, and what that bolt turns in) had no bolts on its sides holding it in.

    It was still in fairly strongly just from friction, but the clutch cable must have just been pulled, and it slipped slightly (the cracking noise, if there was alot fo friction), and thus the clutch cable was too loose for it to have any purchase at all (fits with what it was like).

    Thus, 2 new bolts and alot of fiddling later and the accross was working fine. Even adjusted the gear lever while it was there, and the clutch lever (was really high up), still needs an oil change however. Even lubed up the chain now, though will wanna get that off at some point and clean the crap out of it completely like rob suggested
