Just finished repairing the Bounce Grip 2. We used "Plasti Zap" cyanoacrylate
by Pacer
Technologies (hobby shop - intended for assembling molded plastic model kits).
We
tacked the broken-off piece in place with a few drops of the adhesive. When
that cured
( a matter of minutes), we applied a small amount of adhesive along the crack
using the
small appplicator tube. Capilary action drew the adhesive into the crack. Don
advises
to resist the temptation to use any spray-on CA accelerator, because it will
cure the
adhesive before it can be drawn into the crack.
That said, I will admit that I wouldn't expect a successful structural repair
using
this technique. John Hermanson is right there, but this location is not
stressed in
normal use. The T-32 doesn't contact the footwell sidewall. How did it break
in the
first place? Probably dropped, since the T-32 that came with it had a cracked
foot that
I had to have replaced. Now, if I can avoid catching it with my thumb as it
slips off
the foot thumbwheel, maybe I'll get another 5 years out of it.
Sorry, Don Reichle, I won't be giving up my bottom bracket. I'll let you know
if I
come across one.
