[QUOTE="pesky nz, post: 1402096, member: 120687"] [b]its your birthday[/b] happy birthday RD I've worked in bike shops now for over thirty years and I'm yet to find one with a ciclip department (those boxed sets always seem to be made of rubber). Piston clips are specialist parts with a very low price that you use once then recycle, and they are deliberately spread around to prevent an error in supply due to fat fingers. Getting angry at a parts kid wont get you what you want. If you give him make, model, year info he can do his job. If you don't give him the info then he's looking at you thinking "here we go again.... " Relax and show your years of experience by helping him give you what you want. (I'm from the other side of the world so maybe this sounds up-side-down) ps since you have managed to advance your own timing and are no longer a bit reta.... a helpful hint is to know that pressed circlips have an inside and outside one feels smooth and the other feels sharp, the sharp side is made to take the weight. If you strain the smooth side it tries to start a taper on the groove wall and enventually the clip spreads out or squashes in and fails. At 24mm you are probably trying to secure your front sprocket OEM is best, but if you are inside the gearbox definitely use OEM. [/QUOTE]
