Valve adjust gone bad

The dowels in question are supposed to be a tight fit, but it seems some folks have dowels that don't fit as tight as they should. I know I've never had one of mine come out.

On the bikes I am used to working on, this type of dowel is hollow and you drive it into the hole and it must be removed with vise griips most of the time and unlikely to fall out.


Yup,.. also approximately the same size as a small socket.   :shock:
