My bike chain fell of my bike today. Which has never been a problem because I can lay it back on again, just have to get rid of the chainguard. Fortunately I always have a screwdriver with me.

Hmm there are 4 screws
...
one screw loose
...
second screw loose
...
Why doesnt this screw work? FFS its a torx...

Why in fuck sake do they make a single part of the bike with different screws?

Had to walk the 6KM to the train station and will buy torx on my way back...

Ffs stupid bike designers

    But torx is just the head, not the thread or the size. Anything with the right dimensions will fit.

    I guess the bike engineers "screwed up".

    Hopefully you don’t bust your knee on the bars when it falls off that’s the worse!!!

    Yesterday evening I found out it didnt fell of but it broke. Had to walk 12km and then went to bed with knees begging to be amputated.

    (I have a chronic knee ache, standing 5 minutes is difficult for me already)
