Gear Change Assembly

Yesterday I ordered a replacement gear change assembly for Mr. Bandit
(It's getting an MOT on Friday after it runs out tomorrow) from
Banditspares.com (£25) which arrived today as promised.

I took the old one off (it kept falling off and I thought VOSA would
frown upon my elastic band arrangement, even if they do last about a
month per elastic band) put the new one on and the fucker is bent.

I don't know the name of the part, but it's the bit that you move up
and down with your toes to change gears. It sticks out to the left
too much. I took it out for a ride anyway and although I can change
gear I have to remember to move my foot out to the left more than I
normally would.

I'll leave it on there until it passes (or fails) the MOT and then
ring up Banditspares.com to have a whinge.

 

Do the Misery ankle adjustment.

 

Could be that it is straight and you are actually used to a bent one.

It is the Gear (change) lever.

'it it wivva rammer.

 

My first thought too. Are people less practical than they used to be, or
less violent?

 

The poof started it.
