rotating switches
« on: 25 April 2014, 04:58:48 pm »
Can anyone suggest how to stop both left and right switches rotating/moving as the plastic locater has been cut off/snapped..the screws are tight. I think a previous owner may have had different bars on...

Take the switch unit off, and a couple of layers of tape round the bar should do it. I've had best results from self amalgamating tape, and zinc oxide tape.

 It's a bit trial and error to get the exact amount on there, bit worth it in the end, dome it on pretty much every bike I've owned.
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

I see you've already fixed but in the past I've used the double sided foam tape you can get from the pound shop!
Some say...
