[QUOTE="oexing, post: 164267, member: 1493"] I was on a short test ride at low speed for testing new linings. I did not see that the anchor bolt was in short engagement in that slotted backplate extension. So it managed to slip past the bolt and finally pulled at the Bowden wire in its rotation. That put an extreme load on the brake lever to lock the front wheel. Two seconds after we both, Guzzi and myself flat on the road - with consequences for many days to rectify. Possibly the brake lever hit the mudguard stay and put that bend into it, don´t remember. Anyway, a lengthy job to straighten all parts of the girder. At same time I replaced the 30 000 km Permaglide teflon/graphite bushes for IGUS "plastic" bushes that you can line-ream. No test ride up to now still, no bike ride this year yet, other matters on priority . . . . Vic anchor bolt : [ATTACH type="full"]53943[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
