Will entertain reasonable offers. I have about 7 hrs on the full system. Originally purchased from motosport for $850. Selling due to conflicting sponsorship. Two small blemishes on the inner portion of the exhaust from tire wear. Feel free to email me too: arden.ballard at gmail.com

So I'm torquing down my shifter bolt, and snap! The whole thing comes off in the spindle. After some explitives, I get my tap out and drill bit.

Thanks everyone. I'm stopping by my parts store this afternoon to try to redrill and thread. If that gives me fits, I'll just buy a new one. Sucks!! I wanted to ride this weekend!!

Thanks @RMRider1. I got the drill bit out. I had needle noses small enough to jar it loose, then I got a magnet to pull the piece out. I just need to get a different tap tomorrow I suppose. I'll still take any pointers I can get. I've thankfully not had to do this very often.

I have the garmin vivofit and really like it. I've seen a lot of faulty fit bits when they come in contact with water. I swim with mine w no issues. Good HR tracking as well.
