Brad. Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah the threads have gone where the bolt goes on my mates so he has to literally bolt it on.His bike dropped onto a wall only about a foot high and the lever body on it snapped in half, they are very weak.

0zzy Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 my 05" maggie snapped in two places on the bit it connects to the bar, and underneath by the tpa luckily i had a mate selling one for cheap so i got that off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Surely you're all just doing them up too tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 mine snapped from a front flip the bit which was coonnected to the bar and the bit by the tpa just went for the f!ck of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Just don't tighten it up as much and it won't snap, simple as.I've never seen one snap when someone's used an Allen Key to tighten it up, at least I don't think I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Surely you're all just doing them up too tight?that's what i thought...i tighten mine so if you lean on them they'll just move..so if you hit them theres some give,You dont have to do them up tight at all...

Luke Rainbird Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 MASSIVELY overtight by the looks of itYou only need enough on it to stop it flapping around when you ride - should be able to just about move it with a bit of a whack - save's it dying if you stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
