Decided the ZRX11 needs a new battery....

Post by ZRX61 »

Goddamn aircraft mechanics making everything more bloody complicated that it needs be. Should have cut a zip tie at 45deg so I call myself an asshole later when I slice my hand open...

Dealing with the local bike shop was like pulling teeth. Getting the battery was bad enough, but trying to buy three M6 by 15 - 20mm Allens exceeded the limits of my patience. Parts drone had not the first frigging clue what M6 means & keep insisting they only sold bolts by "shaft size" & telling me that "M6 sounds really small, I don't think they use anything that small on bikes"
and "Does it have a 6 or 4 sided head?"
FFS.
She's only worked there for 25 years...
"Forget it, I'll just take the battery"

Only actually need one M6x15-20mm for the chain guard as one of the three had stripped the thread & fallen out. Was gonna replace all three with slightly longer bolts & put Nyloc nuts on the other side.
