Gluing a complex fracture in a plastic structural component is simply not something the world economy wants consumer humans to do. This thing is made in China and getting the part probably means an hour in the phone and months waiting for it to be shipped across the world. Silly.

Interesting, so they *could* have sent me just a new sleeve, but I’d have had to use a drill (which I own) and rivet tool (which I don’t) to finish the repair, which makes the tradeoff more complex.https://twitter.com/d_a_keldsen/status/1311785887924129792 …

I’d have saved some steel tubing and plastic but I’d have to have access to more tooling and possessed/learned an extra skill (pop-riveting). Think I’ll work out the dollar and carbon math here. Interesting problem.

Any guesses?
Only thing I can think of is some sort of long tool that inserts the pin from the other end of the tube.
