Why is it that every time I try and do the simplest bloody exercise I encounter a stupid new problem?
This time I could not - for love nor money - get the levers onto the bars.
Loosenign the clamp blots to the last turn of thread didn't give enough room to slide them on so I tried sliding just the clamps on then bolting the levers on. One clamp appeared to be a bit misformed (second hand so fuck knows when that happened) and the other had a buggered thread!
The clamps are the normal 23.8 but now I suspect the Nitto Noodles are a much wider fitting. Anyway a combination of bizarre bloody circumstances has led me to FAIL in attaching brake levers to bars after a good hour this morning.
FML!
