Been lurking here for a little while and thanks to a mechanical mishap on a club ride last night, thought I'd head online for some help (hopefully). So last night, I managed to break off the little hangar thing from the underside of my chainstay which holds the rear gear cable in place, effectively rendering my bike a two speed for the rest of the journey. It looks like it might need to be riveted back in place, any tips or just head straight to my LBS?

Loch side.
If you have a pop riveter, just rivet it. Looks like 3mm. However, the previous rivets will not lie loose inside the frame and probably rattle.
