Genius

It alright?

If you need a spare remember it is shorter than S model linkage.

Yeah the bikes not bad, I'm more of the problem though. Lost my confidence in the bike, particularly cornering. Went for a reasonably lengthy ride with orose today and that was the only time the bike really played up, was coughing and popping occasionally but otherwise okay.

Luckily it stayed attached to the gear lever so I got it sorted on the spot, I'll get those nuts on asap!
