Further to the help you received from M Series,it never ceases to amaze me
how friendly,tolerant and informative members of URC are compared with some
other Usenet groups where a word out of place unleashes torrents of
abuse.The same questions are asked over and over again but most are
patiently answered by someone 'out there ' with,as the OP says,little in the
way of flaming.I quite agree that this is what Usenet should be and not a
place to massage the egos of some decidely odd people who hide behind their
computer keyboards.In whatever group we are posting it is worth remembering
that we were all newbies once.

Hi

One of my toeclips broke. They are the type which
the bloke at the bike shop told me are now
discontinued. They are attached to the pedal
(Shimano) with 3 cross-thread screws in the
shape of a triangle.

Does anyone know if these can still be obtained
from anywhere, else I will have to but new pedals
which seems a bit drastic!

Thanks


Since I wrote this I have received a pair of clips at
nominal cost from regular poster "MSeries". This
guy went to a great deal of trouble, including
taking and mailing me pictures of the clips so I
could see if they were the right ones! In doing so
he has saved me the effort and expense of
trawling round for an almost-impossible-to-find
spare part!

"MSeries" has gone to a great deal of trouble to
help me and I should like to publically express my
gratitude.

This type of help is what Usenet was, and still should
be, all about, and it is gratifying to find a newsgroup
such as uk.rec.cycling where members are happy
to assist each other with minimal flaming.

So thanks again, "MSeries" !!!!
