I found it very interesting, especially the shifter lever end that is hinged at the arm end to fold back instead of break off or bend.  The main peg did it's job playing the sacrificial lamb and ground away nicely.  I have been researching the failure modes of different rearset designs lately so this video was actual pretty helpful.

Entertaining and informative.   :o ;D

Thanks,

George

there's another tip in there too, look how the clutch lever rotates when touching, good practice is not to tight the base of the lever too snug
