Help!

I can no longer remain clipped in to my left eggbeater.

The spring seems to have come loose.
Is this fixable?

ive been staying sane by clocking up my bike miles.

Thanks found some crazy russian vide0 of bending the springs back into place but think i'll order replacements.

This is the 3rd set ive done this too.
It it a common issue with eggbeaters or likely due to my tendency to pedal strike?

Would traction pads help?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
