    Next time the head is off to check shims etc have a look at these. Seemingly it can be quite common and can be caused anytime from assembly to when you discover it! Lubrication starvation at far left as your sat on bike. Shouldn’t cause a problem, hopefully!

    The mechanic said it shouldn’t be anything to cause too much concern, unless I hear some screeching. As said, it could have happened years ago. Can’t afford it now I’m going to be a Covid Pauper!
