Seat post problem
 

Just got my new frame in the mail the only thing is i unscrewed the seat clamp bolt all the way now it wont go back in, it kinda feels like its not catching the threads just keeps spinning.

sounds like you stripped it.

Push harder?

right, I read that backward. I thought it said screwed it all the way in.

What frame is it?
If your frame has a built in seat post binder clamp and you did indeed strip it.... you could see of your LBS does helicoils to repair the threads if possible.. otherwise you're SOL...
If it isn't, you lucked out and all you need is another seatpost binder clamp.

You lucked out, it appears you're missing the nut of the seatpost binder bolt. Check around where you unscrewed it in the first place to find it.

And that 1080 is a LIE!!!!

Sweet volume thrasher btw....

hahah thanks so much dude yeah on the other side i thought it looked like it was shaped for a nut cut out

No prob; we all do a stupid sometimes.

Didn't you go to bike mechanic school???

Yeah after i tryed my binder bolts off my other bikes i was a little scared thats why i came here incase it was stripped or didnt come with bolt so i wouldnt damage it any further if that was the case.

Thanks a lot man i appreciate it lol and thanks for the compliment this thing rides like a beast i have 45c tires on there now because i dont need to barspin and its a tank.

And at school we didn't work on many different kinds of bikes enough for me to know all the different variations of stock seat clamps and all that most of the **** was quick release. I can do a lot of the harder stuff but then i get stuck on the no brainer ****.

In the 60's, my friend, my mentor, a man who I would consider the most mechanically skilled person I have ever met, went to a mechanics school in L.A. after high school. When he was 15 he built his first hot rod, 2 years after building his first motorbike. Even back then he was skilled, but not perfect.

His first job was as a mechanic at a Dodge dealership after trade school. Anytime he would make a newbie mistake (obviously from a lack of experience) his boss, who himself hadn't finished high school, would comment to him, "Good job, College Boy!"

I knew a fair amount, or so I thought, about bikes before I went to bike school. The biggest thing I learned there was how much I still had to learn. Once i had started working in bike shops after my short bike school education I then learned that most mechanics out there think they know everything, and and as a result, they would never get any better.

Be patient with yourself, always be willing to learn, and never be afraid to ask for help before you ruin something expensive.
