Was a hard slog but i renewed and refitted a gear lever rubber.mash

Gonna cost me more than that now anyway, the one i bought totally does the job but has a brand new outer diameter of 16mm, which is less than the OEM one.
Saying that, half my OEM one looked chewed to bits anyway so it doesn't really matter, but i just fancied it a tad bigger if possible.
I couldn't find the damn thing at all on the AJ Sutton site, but after a bit of research it turns out that the very large majority of gear levers use the same standard fitting measurements of 8mm inner diameter and 40mm length, so i ordered this one which i'll get in the next couple of days.

Yes I looked into it a couple of years ago as mine is chewed up and came to the conclusion that most are a standard fit, but that ebay one I think is round but I think I am right in saying that the oem one is oval.
I wil let you pay for the ebay one and then await your in depth report with pictures and fitting instructions

You won't notice the difference whether it's round or oval, but i did notice the slightly smaller diameter on my toe.
I'm almost certain the 20mm one will be better, for me anyway.

I can't believe i just looked at the gear lever rubber i fitted the other day and it was already disintegrating at the end!
The other one has just arrived and not only does it look much more like the OEM size, albeit round in shape, the material used is much harder than the other one.
It wasn't gonna go on cold, so i put it in a cup of hot water for a couple of minutes then it pushed on straight away.
It can only be better than the first one, but i'll let you know if it also fails miserably, although i doubt it will.
