Fixed Pants™ Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Put the top cap bolt through the topcap, screw it onto the star flange nut and once the SFN is in enough, just the topcap as a guide to keep it straight.Go slowly too.

craigjames Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 or if your getting them from tarty or trials-uk just ask them to put a star nut in before they ship them out, thats if they dont come with one already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 i thought it went down deep into the tube???it has to go no deeper than a inch ,unless you want to buy a extra long bolt like.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
