Re: What size Torx

Thanks,

Another Forum told me T25 and T27, I bought both but only needed the T25! Getting the left hand grip off wasn't too hard, just a bit of washing up liquid and I just kept twisting it...took about 20 minutes! The bugger is the new bar won't tighten in the middle, it moves around! It is either a fraction smaller than the std one or its because it doesn't have the crimping! Any ideas on safe packing?

Re: What size Torx

get a knackered old bicycle or motorcycle tyre inner tube for free from the rubbish bin at your local bicycle/mc shop...cut a section and glue that on the bar where it meets the clamp

Re: What size Torx

I cut up a jubilee clip and inserted 2 inchs of that into the wells, works great!
