Default Re: 1st gear is slightly jammed

It is true that the 2nd only jumps out in very strong mountains and that lasts about every 1/8 of a mile.

1000 miles ago I fitted the gearbox with new bearings, all shafts and sealing lip ball bearings. But the gears haven't been renewed. The cluster tooth group was visibly a bit worn, but this one part costs around 500 with freight and customs.

By the way, no gear jumped out before this revision.

The day after tomorrow I will assemble the switch tower with the new rails from Brattons. New shift forks are out of stock, but the old ones don't look bad. The right angles appear to be fine.

I will continue my report. Until then, I thank you all for the laborious helpin'!
