AND everyone else is deliberately trying to kill you.

Plumbers strap wrench.

On bikes I've had where it wore out or fell off, I just shifted from then on with the bare lever....no big deal.

Don't listen to me. I've been single for 40 years and don't know what I'm talking about.....was supposed to be a joke.

And they would go down much farther than...

If you do one fork at a time you won't have that problem.

I think you should be the first to do that and let us know how that worked for you.
