:twisted: Ha, sweet revenge! Hope you made the bail arm suffer Roger, red hot glowing and ground to smithereens until the last remainders have disappeared with an uttering of appropriate spells and courses into the red hot glowing Shimano bail arm hell :lol:
Or did you just feck it into the bin... :roll: :wink:
