Lol. I wish I could blame it on the booze. It was just somebody with little mechanical knowledge. I figured, you put the mirror on, tighten the screw and you're done. He somehow managed to break the part of the mirror that connected to the bar end. As in, he was tightening the wrong screw, and broke something he didn't even need to touch.

I also showed him how to take off his front tire. He attempted it and stripped 3 screws out of 4 on his fender. We've agreed that it's just cheaper for him to get raped by the shop money wise, than to pay to fix the damage he causes.

I have shorty pazzo levers but I am a small handed girl so they work like full levers for me!

I have been VERY VERY happy with them...
