We love Stacey, we really do! But she can be hard work at times. As we solve one problem up crops another. The throttle now doesn't stop as it should. The throttle actually twists over itself which is disconcerting. Now when we investigated this we discovered that the little lug in the headset which acts as a 'stop' has just crumbled away with age. Rats!
It is almost impossible to weld in a new lug block and it would be very expensive because its welding aluminium! However, one of the gent's on the proboards small frame forum has come up with an idea......aluminium epoxy. Didn't even know it existed. Anyway we will give it a try and will report back on how successful it is.
