Dammit - was just giving my bike it's monthly check - tighten all loose bits and stuff and I found that some of the bolts holding my rear rack were loose.
Easy job - quick turn........felt quite loose, a quarter further the head sheared off.
Damn, I am pissed off. it is completely flush with the seat stay and now I have no way to get it out. I'm gonna have to tie the rack on somehow until I figure a way to get it out.
I'm stuffed for tools here - What should I do? I guess you need to drill it and put a reverse threaded screw in. I'm fucked if I know I can get one where I am. I don't even know what it is called in Polish.
Piece of shit bike has cost me more in small parts than I origianally paid for it. Serves me right for buying cheap crap I guess.
