Broken hex bit in shifter
As they say in my country, y'all ain't gonna believe this s**t.
I was adjusting the position of a Sram grip shifter and the tip of the hex bit broke off in the damned hex bolt on the thing. There's a little of the bit sticking out still, and it looks like I might be able to get it with needle nose pliers.
But, it's in there very tight. I don't understand the problem since I hadn't even finishing tightening it and it WAS the proper size bit.
Has this happened to any of you? If so, what did you do to fix it?
Stupidly yours,
David

wonder it a strong magnetic probe would do the trick?
