So this morning I brought a colleague to work with her new hybrid so she could ride it home.
As were putting the front wheel on the leaver fell out of the quick release. Its only held in by a splet washer.
Half a sleep I put the washer back on, but with quick leaver not through the hole in the skewer
Using the preproom vice (I work in a sixth form college) and a screw driver I managed to remove the split washer but it shot across the room and as yet I haven't found it...
Do you think that this can be bodged. The washer is the only thing that stop the leaver falling out. But once its done up tight the lever shouldn't just fall out. If it was my bike I'd just wrap stiff wire round where the washer was and ride home. But its not my bike or body on the bike. Any thoughts. The safest option is that I just drive her home.....
- small bolt throught that bit to stop it falling off ? Split pin? washers?Rivets?
