I don't like standard paper clips because they don't last long enough. I use a circular Clipiola paperclip. http://volcanoarts.com/cart/accessories/clipiola.jpg I finally had one fail, after a year of use. As to the rod wiggling out w/o a cotter pin, yes it will. It happened to me on Bike Virginia. Not enough so that the rod came all the way out, but it did wiggle itself out about a cm or so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
