Trials Tom Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 You can get replacements of those bolts. Or do as said above, failing that take off the q/r and use normal bolts in there, I think it works, can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme_biker0 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Yeah you are right they are shit, just get some normal HT steel bolts thought off of another unused bike part, there are bound to be some somewhere knocking about in a bike enthusiasts garage. Most of the people I know have replaced them, although sometimes a washer is needed to sit behind the head of the screw to make it reasonable big so as not to pull through.
