Fortunately I could get recovery back home to do the repair overnight and then continue the trip the day after. Not that easy when you're in Antwerp though.
Yes, I do remember your super-human effort & I'm only sorry that I wasn't able to do similar due to the lack of facilities and impenetrable language barrier. There's a lot to be said for a home workshop! Do you think your pulley had done around the same mileage as mine (16k) before it failed? With the benefit of hindsight, I reckon the screws began sheering off one by one fairly soon after I fitted it. As eluded to, the pulley has now been replaced with a new one, which is itself going to be replaced with a Fabian lightweight steel one before I venture out to the Isle of Man later this month. Therefore, there will soon be one very low mileage (180 miles) Supermax pulley on the market at a knock-down price if anyone's interested!
