Went to take my bike out yesterday to go in to work yesterda, started it up and got the dredded click.
Pretty shit trying to work out the issue in the rain. Even more frustrating that I never got around to installing this work around, and even more frustrating still is that I'm certain I left my Optimate 4 with my mate when we moved to the US, and don't really believe he properly looked for it, but he is adamant he doesn't have it so what you gonna do? I guess I just need to look at it as £50 for a years bike storage. Just annoying buying something you've bought before.
Is there anything better and cheaper than an Optimate 4?
I've already got the super long extension lead, plus a pigtail installed so reticent to buy something different, but thought it was worth asking.
