Peter Carmichael Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 When I put my foot down in third gear my knob wobbles. When I lift off the throttle, it wobbles in the other direction. This only happens in third gear. In all the other gears it is steady and precise. Should I be getting that nice Mister Stewart to check my cones?

New Barbie Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Peter I'd avoid using third until your knob realises such behaviour is not becoming of an intermediate cog. Certainly Mr Stewart's wisdom would help ease the mind if not the swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted March 6, 2002 Author Share Posted March 6, 2002 Thanks for the advice. In the meantime I think I will stick to my first instinct and not touch it when it is wobbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Forget not touching it. It might fall off. Firm grasp is required and perhaps give the screws a firmer turn. Meanwhile, if anyone has any tips about ear infections I'm all ears (well, one of them is anyway). That was picked up in a dubious locale too.

caterhamnut Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 much sympathy Andy! Had a period of getting ear infections - the worst feeling is when you realise that the infection has travelled down the little tube into your throat/mouth and back up the other side to the other ear (cant remember the name of the tube after too many mid-week pints - sorry). So just when you think the first one is getting better after a few days, the other starts to twinge. Codine is best. I had acute apendicitus, taken out within 10 hours etc etc, and would go through that again rather then have another ear infection. Sorry - that is probably not whatyou wanted to hear. no pun intended. must stop drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caterhamnut Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 thats the one tony. Paul and I popped round to DA last night for some moral support and ended up staying in a pub for many hours - as usual, hence the memory lapse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
