Bell St is a nightmare even in a bus. It astounds me how many times the driver has to hit the anchors due to cars cutting in front of it. Crazy.
Oh I didn't mention that the trigger shifter needs to match the number of gears on the rear gear cluster. Your bike looks like it's got five gears at the back so you'd get a five speed trigger. If you keep an eye on other hard rubbish bikes one'll turn up soon enough, else ceres bikeshed given you're in the North.
Hey thanks man, you really know your stuff. I know nothing, I just pedal. But at least bike related stuff is easy enough to learn, I've got that going for me I guess 😂
I love tinkering with bikes and wish more people cycled. Feel free to hit me up with any questions you might have.
Thankyou! Much appreciated.
