You are newsgroup president-elect and speak for the group? ... Where is the data? Show us the pics. How should I take a pic? You won't see the bend on a photo. You can clearly feel it when fastening it. I wouldn't care but because of the bend it now turns itself at times and that can loosen it. So now I carry the 6mm Allen wrench in my back pocket instead of in the tool kit. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

See e.g. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/to...olt-where-from What you do is this: (1) get on your bike, (2) ride that gnarly trail to Home Depot, avoiding mountain lions; (3) buy a 6M replacement bolt, (4) ride home and inflate your rear shock -- or maybe do that before you leave. Your problem is not uncommon for people who do not keep their shocks inflated. If it were me, I would just stop here on the way home from work: http://aboysupply.com/wp-content/upl...1024x415_c.png Plenty of metric SS fasteners. No mountain lions. -- Jay Beattie. |

You won't see the bend on a photo. You can clearly feel it when fastening it. I wouldn't care but because of the bend it now turns itself at times and that can loosen it. So now I carry the 6mm Allen wrench in my back pocket instead of in the tool kit. BTW, it was never thought to be impossible. See e.g. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/to...olt-where-from That's why I wrote "thought" to be impossible. I never believed it to be, on bicycles almost anything can brake even without "off-label use". What you do is this: (1) get on your bike, (2) ride that gnarly trail to Home Depot, avoiding mountain lions; (3) buy a 6M replacement bolt, (4) ride home and inflate your rear shock -- or maybe do that before you leave. It ain't that simple. This is a bolt set where the "nut" isn't a nut but a long sleeve which represents the pivot. Both are bent. The heads are also part of the system and must fit their mounts snugly. You can see the mount in the middle he http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Muddy3.JPG I am sure I can buy a replacement from the bike fram mfg but I'd rather like something stronger. ... Your problem is not uncommon for people who do not keep their shocks inflated. My bikes are on checklists just like a lot of other stuff around here. For the MTB two of the items are shock and fork pressure. The lowest I let the shock get is 180psi and the fork gets ar when it has dropped to 110psi. If it were me, I would just stop here on the way home from work: http://aboysupply.com/wp-content/upl...1024x415_c.png Plenty of metric SS fasteners. No mountain lions. I doubt they'd have this kind. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

we and thou are fairly neutral so doahn blow a fuse ...
6mm bolts are maintenance bolts. 6mm are for sport touring n when yawl exceed sport touring or OEM gotta upgrade and replace. experience here is hardware store ...the usual tray setup...6mm G5's for bottom rear rack into OEM (78 carbon steel Raleigh) are good for 1 yr/5000 miles only. so whatever crazy **** you're into clearly exceeds OEM n the trays https://www.mcmaster.com/#metric-hex...crews/=153yihj |
