I have revised the tool. It is narrower and will fit more easily in the tool roll.
I have also added a notch to assist in gauging the insertion depth (no, I'm not talking dirty)
I also put a 20 second video on YouTube. Should help with knowing how to use the tool.

The Bob Sipp tool probably works beautifully but I think Mr Sipp is of the "if it is too simple it can be made more complicated" school of thought.

Well, that proves we're not upside down as far as I'm concerned.Airbear wrote: I dunno. When I was playing with this one I rotated the box in different directions and each time it was inverted heard the click that meant the pawl had moved into operational position.

O, come on Rob. You'll have to come up with something better than that.

Re: Bob Sipp emergency gear change tool.
My grubby efforts! The width of the 4th tool from the left is 40-45mm and the notch (unseen) is exactly 65mm from the tip.

You know, if compasses had pointed south, that's what all our maps would look like (although they'd still have put Europe in the middle, left-to-right).

The scale correction for the northern latitudes is good to see. Clearly not a Mercator projection.Major Softie wrote:Airbear wrote:O, come on Rob. You'll have to come up with something better than that.

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.
