Yesterday’s light breeze knocked the bike over when it was leaning against a fence.
Guessing this beauty of an XT mech was already a gone-er. How else could the bolt shear like that?
Judging by state of the block, neither excessive maintenance or cleaning.
Bit of Gorilla Glue should sort it right out though.
That’s only a week’s use. Put new wet lube on last week and found myself cycling through big nasty every day.
Back home now. Will check it over and use some double sided tape to put it back on.
