Still, it seems a reasonable compromise for B road commuting.
Haha I adjusted mine today and exactly the same thing happened

Got to middle adjustment fine

Tried to get to max and no way would it go, so I stuck the square ended bar in the square hole at the end of the c spanner and the spanner just snapped.

Crap monkey metal indeed.

So I'll be leaving mine at middle setting till I get a better c spanner.
