Now I get it. Like Hillrider, I misread your initial post as a request for assistance, which he and I both tried to provide. A simple thank you would have sufficed, or maybe nothing which would have been fine.

But, it turns out you didn't want help, but were posting to bolster your own ego. For example, if you were going to make a wrench anyway, we didn't have to waste our time telling you where to source one.

You might do well to remember that the help you get from strangers on a forum is 100% FREE. Those who respond have no agenda but to assist others within the community. Since it's free you can assign it any value you want, But if you're begging for a dollar and someone gives you a quarter you don't complain about being shorted seventy-five cents.

Even though I was spared your diatribe, I've added you to my list of folks not to bother helping. Feel free to respond, or not , I simply don't care.

Good luck with your bike.
