Bryan,
Sorry that Europa did not forward your request for information to me.
10mm or 3/8 inch is for the mono undercarriage.
12mm or 1/2 inch is for the trigear shock absorber.
Please use and ask for the 10mm as that is what you originally had and I
am sure that your gap will accommodate that with a bit of a squeeze.
I cannot understand the delay except perhaps your request fell through
the crack. My apologies.
Another note: If you need to replace the bungee now is the time to
completely look at the gear mechanism for wear and tear and update your
other rubber components. Just a thought.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Subject: Europa-List: Bungee
Having waited for two weeks for Europa to supply me with replacement
bungee (shock) cord for the monowheel undercarriage, they have supplied
a length of 12mm diameter chord. The bungee I took out was 10mm, and
that was a squeeze. Anyone who has tried it knows that the bungee has to
fit through two narrow gaps, and fitting it is difficult.
Clearly 10 mm bungee is easily available on line, but before I go
ahead, can anyone confirm that 10 mm is the correct size? I am not
convinced that the staff at Europa would know the answer.
My regards to those who may think that I no longer exist.
