chris4stars Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Right, a few questions here...would appreciate answers to any of them! ride an older fourplay if thats any use to the answers 1. the pityful bolts that came with the tensile 4bolt have all either rounded or sheared a. removing a sheared bolt (its literally flush) from an hs33 mount, what is the best option for me here? b. the current bolts are 50mm (not 45mm as stated on tarty? - must be a newer model) any recommendations as to where to get decent steel/ti replacment bolts? c. if the answer to a) includes drilling out and re-threading with a thicker bolt (M5 i think?) i imagine that would make for a good strong clamp, how hard is it to get the perfect line of the thread? (ie perfectly perpendicular to the frame) 2. as my rear wheel is dished to the side by a good cm or so, and hs33 problems have been coming left right and centre recently i am seriously considering the use of a rear disc...(ie - the new skye frame) a. the new fourplays have been out for long enough now i think for enough people to have tried them, how is a rear disc for 'trials' type moves...gaps/sidehops etc? will i be nervous each time i land incase it slips?! b. i noticed danny in the vid at the hope factory is using a rim brake rather than the pretty large disc i saw on the rear in only june/july time...is this maybe a suggestion that even the larger disk isnt ticking all the boxes?! any advice on anyt of the above would be great...have been off the forum for a while and just focusing on riding so id be interested to hear how much has changed in even this short period of time! videos highlighting 2) would be appreciated and id be very interested to hear personal experiences of rear disc on a 24" fourplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 just to clear one thing up, that Hope vid was filmed in April, before Danny wen't dual disc. I talked with him the other day and he is very happy with twin disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) about the bolt thing, if its not in there stupidly tight then cutting a little slot in the top for a screw driver to fit then just turn it out that will work, if its like topped out on the bottom of the frame you will have to get a drill and start really small and keep going at it with bigger and bigger bits till its gone then re-tap it Edited October 19, 2011 by WIGAN ??

weebryan Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 if i cant turn it with screw driver then in work i usually centre punch in middle of bolt and make sure this IS CENTRE drill a hole out straight smaller than bolt and then get and old bolt and use grinder to buff to similar size to hole (slightly bigger) and taper end and tap in hole and then use spanner to get broken end out I tried easy outs but if they break in you cant re drill and start again there too hard to drill and old bolt is soft enough to re drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
