5 Speed Cam Barrel Albion G/Box

Still not happy with the gearchange on by Silverstone.
I do have the GMC157 book Service notes which unlike the RES Service notes does address the adjustment of the change mechanism.
I have adjusted it iaw the information for this type of box. It still seemed 'lazy' on the return.
I looked again and the 'Strengthener' diagram number 62 which assists the return spring diagram number 61 - this is missing from my mechanism.
Part # isG1134/106 'Return Spring Strengthener'
Has anybody a spare or know a source for purchase?

Probably best person to ask is Geoff Nunn. Have sent you his contact details by Private Message.

Spoke to Geoff Nunn this morning and he informed me that the return spring helper is not really required, only 'if required'. However he did suggest a couple of other tips, one of which was to ensure the short lever pinch bolt on the shaft spine was not over tightened.
I slackened this off so that it just was just pinched and what a difference it made to the return action. So I've tightened so it does not bind on the shaft but still retains it.
Great tip.
