October 3, 200520 yr Anybody out there have any idea how much a brand new gearlever is. I have hit mine against a rock and bent it right out. many thanks in advance.
October 3, 200520 yr Theres one on The Bay at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GAS-GAS-PRO-GEAR-LEV...1QQcmdZViewItem
October 3, 200520 yr How much?!!-- Is it not worth putting some heat on it and bending it back or is it like an aero-bar (too brittle).
October 3, 200520 yr I think a new one is less than 20 quid. Try straightening the old one, they are quite soft & easy to bend back to shape.
October 3, 200520 yr I think a new one is less than 20 quid. Try straightening the old one, they are quite soft & easy to bend back to shape. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rub some white soap on it, heat it until the soap turns black, drop it in a bucket of water. It'll be soft enough to bend.
October 3, 200520 yr I bent mine out and left it. I liked the solidness of it being out so far. Then later this season I bent it back into position. Funny how that works. And they are easily heated up and pushed back into position.
October 3, 200520 yr Author I have straigtened it back, but there is a crack in it. It isn't huge, its really thin, but when i heated it up the rivet that holds the end part of the lever has lost its strength.
October 3, 200520 yr I bent mine in towards the casing and was going to buy a new one but reckoned I had nothing to lose by trying to bend it back. It worked perfect but be gentle with it.
