Having recently acquired the Berini from Oakenshaw I am only just getting round to having a poke about and making a plan. First job was to replace the chain I managed to break .
Why does a supposedly simple job turn into a 4 hour nightmare?
Wrong chain supplied. Then tried to shorten and replace old chain. Broke the splitter. Lost the split link. Found split link. Lost it again! Had to steal chain off granddaughters bike to extend old chain, (I promise I’ll fix it later!) Then had to rob the split link off my solex to finish the job.
So yes it’s running again, but now the solex isn’t. (Or granddaughter’s bike!) But thankfully you can bump start that with a simple push.
Just as well this is a hobby for fun! 😂
Then after all that….the clutch is slipping! 🤣
