How in the heck do you bend a slide?
PM me, if you send me the whole works I'll fix it, or replace whatever needs to be replaced.

This story ends with AaronF's bike running smooth and sweet with the throttle cable, slide, and all it's associated parts including a pre-set needle assembly I sent him free of charge.

Yes, the sound you here is the sound of me patting myself on the back.

Do you mean the "special ebay-er packing technique"?

Yeah, that's something I developed over the years of packing to ship ebay stuff.

One day i went on a splurge through Ebay bidding on things i really did not need cameras,mp3's $400+ on bike parts from ebay/nashbar a $1 watch for my mom because it was cute everything was packaged pretty good when it arrived,to find out everything that came from Hong Kong or China was cheap or did not work like most people i thought wow what a bargain!Anyways my first engine kit i received was from luckyearlybird on Ebay i checked through the box inspecting the hardware an a couple of things were broke so i sent the guy a email..Dear Friend,sorry to hear problems,you can send the whole kit back blah blah you pay shipping that was a mess!The second kit i ordered was from BGF it arrived again with broken hardware i emailed him,was told i could get the replacements free of charge then the next email said,Dear Friend blah this an that you need to pay for shipping!? "No I'm sorry it is not my fault that there is defective hardware,i should not pay"More emails were sent with the respect i had towards Ebay..Anyways neither one of them would help me,i was done with it so i left bad feedback.They then blocked me from contacting them an ordering from them!I lost alot of money through Ebay,rebuilding my Giant bicycle that is no longer good it has been a real mess for me leaving me here with pennies in my pocket.
