I need some too. I called Tektro. They used to have a part# for the springs b/c this is a weak spot in the manufacturing process. Look closely and you can see an indention which seems to be a weak. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. On Friday, September 1, 2023 at 9:37:39

Tried the awl, then a small drill bit from behind then the guy at REI put it in a vise and used a hammer and small punch to get it out. This is a silver shifter that is ever so slightly smaller hole for the cable head. Thanks all for your help! p.s. Now I have yet another front shifter

I thought I was extremely stable with my Burley solo. Kids started at about 11 months with helmet. I had books and music with them and they loved it. (Slept a lot too!) I had them on a tandem with child stoker kid at 2 1/2 and later tandem + burley followed by triplet with both my kids. I had

I'm sorry, but I'm waxing nostalgic, so here are more baby-on-bike-or-trike vignettes. Catie graduated from college in June and is visiting us for a month before a planned move to NYC with friends. She's with me now. Age barely 2, I bought her a Radio Flyer toddler tricycle with fat 8" (?)
