Well...I actually did some (preparation, that is)!
I took off the front sprocket cover this morning (there's always a first time for everything!) whilst waking myself up with the customary cuppa....to reveal......a
fifteen tooth "cog"!
That'll never do.....the others will all be laughing at me!
Any ideas at this (too?) late stage where I could beg / steal / purchase one of these said necessaties?
