So I was riding today when I noticed the button was too high and about to fall off. Then I had to come to a stop, and after I engaged the clutch again, the spring and button flew out. I had to stop in dangerous traffic to pick up the pieces before they were ran over/lost.
I want to avoid that happening ever again. I looked for a replacement clutch lever/handle and there are none here in this country. I will have to wait until I have someone visiting to get a new clutch lever sent over (will order from ebay).
Until then, what can I do as a temporary fix? A few mechanics suggested filing down the ends to make it screwable and then adding a nut and soldering. Nobody seems to have a firm grasp on the idea behind the clutch lever, as they've never seen one like it before.
Please help me, I know many of you love to read but not reply. This is pretty serious for me, as having a hand free is a great help. My hand will get tired easily from holding in the clutch all the time. Thanks in advance.
