Stiff gear change

This morning I set off for work in the dark in my bus.

Strange. First gear was good, second seemed a bit stiff to engage and on one occasion I got fourth instead of second. Third to fourth was also a bit hard.

Then I got to a bit where the street lights were brighter and realised my heavy rucksack was leaning on the gearstick.

 

You meed to tighten up your bits!

 

Thought a rug sack method was for keeping IN gear.

 

Mines stiff in the morning but not as stiff as it once was, I think it’s where it’s had plenty of use

 

Is your right hand worn out as well Bazza

 

generally i lean my sack to the right

 

We're glad to hear it! Giving them a scrub with Barkeeper's Friend from time to time will keep them in tip-top condition

 

I’ve never had a sloppy second.
