This was the first mention of Rivnuts in the thread (I checked). Actually, I mentioned Rivnuts when I posted the very first reply to Emanuel's original post. That was about eight hours before the post you quoted. Also note that he indicates that "the chainguard is mounted on the stays...". Which of the stays, he doesn't mention, but it doesn't matter. Chain stays and seat stays are both rather small diameter. The reason I'd like photos is that Emanuel seems to imply that a hole in the stays is the original method of mounting the chainguard. I think that's unlikely. I wondered if there are brazed-on tabs or some other feature that we don't know about. 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. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Why not use adel clamps? Some call them P clamps. It’s possible to attach them to the frame with rivnuts by enlarging the hole in the clamp and Installing the rivnut to secure the clamp. Then use a machine screw into the rivnut to attach the chain guard.

Ummm... thanks, I think. The results of over-egineering are epidemic. Some examples: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2010/07/kitchen-appliances-that-bite.html I have one of the egg cube makers shown: https://www.thegreenhead.com/2006/10/egg-cuber-makes-square-eggs.php I worked on a relatives chicken ranch for a summer when I was a pre-teen. Unfortunately, I was rather useless because I treated the chickens like pets, not food or egg producers. I got along better with the machinery. Fast forward about 7 years, and I'm attending an agricultural college slowly morphing into an engineering college. To get enough classes to avoid getting drafted, I found myself taking agricultural classes. I also started wearing cowboy boots, a string tie, and hanging around the horse unit. No poultry experience, but plenty with agricultural machinery. I can't imaging MIT with a poultry department. Maybe they're working on an egg drop project? https://www.google.com/search?q=egg+drop+project&tbm=isch -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
