I effed myself pretty good this time.

melfice · June 4th, 2014, 06:04 PM

So there I was! Excited that I finally got my 15t sprocket and installed it, tested it out, enjoyed the work I did

. Then after I put the bike back together and put up all my tools I thought to myself, "that's right, my clutch lever is way too wobbly and loose, I should tighten it."
HUGE MISTAKE!!

I snapped the bolt that holds the lever in place...Now hear me out, I didn't even turn it that much, maybe 1-1/2 turns and then "click!" Sh$t....

So...Can anyone offer me any help/advice?

I don't know if they'll fit but there are a couple of pregen total part out bikes in the marketplace forums. Maybe you can get one of their bolts.

Custom pivot bolts might do the trick.

Awesome! I will for sure look into that this weekend, I live in the boonies of NC and here they have never heard of a mysterious thing called a hardware store. Tripping up to VA to explore my options up there and look for some screws and spacers now. thanks!

just drill it out man, same thing happened to me, or if theres some part of the bolt sticking out use needle nose pliers and unscrew.
