ISTM that Emanuel isn't very clear on many bike-related terms in English, and he seems to be a novice mechanic in general. Some of his descriptions may be unintentionally misleading. In 2017-18, I have sold 24 bikes, some of which were just an intact frame when I started to fix them. So I know enough to know that if you pump up your ego to unholy proportions over such a simple thing as a *bike*, you are actually a complete lamer. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

The normal engaged thread length depends on the diameter of the bolt and the "standard" (strength) For example, an M5 screw (grade 6h/6g) will have a minimum stressed (threaded)area some 4.0103 mm long. This is usually felt to be a sufficient thread engagement to provide some 100% of shank strength. There are innumerable tables available giving the required data. M5s with flat, round Torx (T25) heads are the most common. Well, they are always M5 what I can remember but sometimes they are Pozidriv (PZ2) instead of Torx. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I know. I locked horns with him on several issues where I was certain that he was wrong. His mechanical engineering was superb. His chemistry, not so good. Electronics, I don't recall. Every bike I've ever had has had holes drilled in it. Clearly, there is a range of holes that do not cause failure, and some that do. The question is where does a rivnut fall? I wouldn't drill a 5 mm hole a on 26mm diameter tube, but they work fine on large diamter ones. The OP is talking about installing Rivnuts in his chain stays in order to repair some chain guard and fender supports. I'm too lazy to walk over to my bicycle and measure them, but methinks they're much too small diameter for a 5mm hole. The Rivnut would also not have much of a flat surface in which to seat and might loosen and spin. Most things should be done with a certain level of logic. The installation of a 1/2" Rivnut in a 12.5mm tube is unlikely to be successful :-) Rivnuts also are made in a large verity, many of which are versions of various anti spin designs. It will probably be best if the user is aware of the various ramifications of the design differences :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

Did you drill those holes and install the Rivnuts or did they come from the factory that way. Were these steel or aluminum tubes? Rivnuts in very thin tubing need to be installed very carefully. Drill them with the wrong drill and you'll crack the tubing. Install them too loose and they'll spin. Install them too tight and they cause cracking. You can get away with doing this but it doesn't mean that it's a good idea. There's a reason why all the experts advise against doing this, and why it voids the frame warranty (if you're the original owner with a lifetime warranty, you might worry about this). For those determined to do this, look into the Plusnut (made by Rivnut) which is more suitable for end-user applications. For the OP, is the chainstay even a large enough diameter for a Rivnut? What might work is using M3 x 0.25 screws. You'd have enough threads for a 1 mm thick tube. Both the screws and the taps are not cheap as these are used on high-precision machinery. Tthey also have M6 x 0.25, but I did not see any M5. |

One poster claims nobody should install a Rivnut unless he has access to a complete machine shop. Others with more experience have said that the installation is easy for anyone with normal mechanical skills. That would be SMS (Steven Scharf) on one of his web pages: http://nordicgroup.us/cageboss/ Since I've made a mess with all the available technologies, Rivnuts (steel and aluminum), brazing (steel), TIG (aluminum), and epoxy glue (plastic boss on aluminum), I'll remain neutral on the matter. Hint: Use steel Rivnuts on steel frames, aluminum Rivnuts on aluminum frame, and plastic straps or clamps on CF (carbon fiber). One can only suppose that those "dumb asses: that manufacture rivnuts deliberately make their product in a number of materials :-) I'm not sure about the deliberate part, but yes, one can buy them in steel or aluminum. I couldn't find any plastic or carbon fiber rivnuts. And, it might be added that not knowing what you are doing is not limited to bicycle maintenence :-) True. If those expounding on bicycle technology by various electronic means really knew what they were doing, they would be riding instead of pounding on the keyboard. If you really want to know how things work, find someone that is actually doing the work and interrogate them for the information you need and don't bother reading books, manufacturers literature, magazines, forums, and newsgroups. The only downside is that those who really know, tend to be inarticulate and have difficulties explaining complex concepts, like which way to tighten a right handed bolt. However, persistence, intimidation, and perhaps bribery will eventually produce the required answer from a real expert. As I mentioned, I have successfully trashed most everything I've tried to do with Rivnuts on bicycles, and therefore have no opinion on the matter. However, it might be interesting to try a simple test. I could probably finance the test by taking bets on the outcome. Take two identical lengths of steel bicycle tubing. Install a Rivnut in only one tube at midpoint. Clamp one end in a pipe vise. Pull on the other end with a Come-Along perpendicular to the tubing. Measure the force with a load cell. Draw a graph to show when the tubing went plastic and eventually buckled. Compare results between the tubing with and without the Rivnut. That should settle the debate whether Rivnuts are detrimental to frame and stay strength. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Who cares what riders think, what do the egineers do? Jobst Brandt was a mechanical engineer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobst_Brandt What's an egineer? One might comment that a fairly large number of bridges, that subsequently fell down, were designed by the engineers of the times :-) Therefore, anything designed by an engineer will eventually fall apart. I like the logic. The problem with mechanical engineering is that problems, such as falling bridges, are easily visible. Even Joe Sixpack can recognize a mechanical failure. The fault is always with the architect or designer, and never with cost cutting contractor, sloppy construction company, defective imported components, blind inspectors, bribed officials, or the demands of the aesthetics committees. It's for this reason that I chose to go into electronics. Few can recognize an electronic problem or find someone on the design staff to blame. It's safety through obscurity. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
