oops, the pictures i was referring to are in the "today I" thread

I know you don't always drink beer, Scrod, but when you do, what kind do you drink?

jimmytango is right and there's no need to buy an additional tool. Read the pro tip on the RG site.

Actually, I do always drink beer.

Have you ever flattened a can of High Life and used it as a spoke card? I wouldnt ask if I havent seen it before

No.

Ah. That's the way, Patriot.

Scrod,

For some reason, whenever I pull up on my pedal straps (to skid or bring the cranks to a different position) they loosen significantly. Am I not looping them correctly? I can get a pic if that would help.

I have a feeling you may be looping the straps over the rollers before putting them through the toothed part of the buckle.

They should be under the rollers, through the teeth and secured with the retaining loop.

All three LBS's around here won't face Ti. What the noob. Now what?

The shop said it would probably be ok if I can get the fork to seat properly without any jiggling action or tight spots and that it shouldn't damage the frame unless the fork is jiggling around while I ride.

That's probably it. Here's a pic:

Yup. They'll slip like crazy like that because those little teeth aren't even touching the straps. As I said, run the straps under the rollers and up through the teeth.

Great. Thanks!

Pretty sure that's what I already explained. Twice.

yup. I re-routed the straps and everything is OK.

scrod, the seatpost bolt on one of these 722s won't come out. I can turn it about 25% one way or the other and it gives the illusion of tightening it but doesn't actually clamp anything together (seatpost can still be moved around) and I can't loosen it enough to take it out and replace it with another one. Any solutions you know of for this?

Sounds like it's stripped. It won't come out?

yeah it won't come out but I can get a ****load of leverage it feels like. I avoid forcing it though just incase I may strip it further. I do about a quarter rotation to loosen it and then it stops. it's like the two sides are stuck inside each other without actually tightening the opening. if that makes any sense

Are you loosening/tightening on the drive side or non-drive side? I recall mine doing a similar thing when using the non-drive side, but on the drive side, it worked perfectly. Not doubting you, sometimes we do silly things though.

/notScrod, sorry.

drive side. thought I've tried to do the NDS as well... just incase. I've even put an allen key on the NDS to stop it from moving while twisting the other end

btw, stickers look great! putting it in leader thread

Ah bummer dude. I'd imagine you could source a replacement bolt-type setup temporarily until you could get a replacement proper one...

omw to the Leader thread.

yeah I could get a bolt easily, it's removing this one that is the issue atm
