Alex.loves.boys Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi guys just received my monty pr stem got it on went for a ride and i hopped up a wall and the bars moved back. so i thought ok, ill go back move em back and tighten them did this then as i did up the last bolt it just went bang and now whenever i try to do it up it just keeps spinning. I've tried taking the stem cap thingy of and trying again but no luck Is there anything I can do to fix it. ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Get longer bolts and put a nut behind it Thats probably your only bet unless you get it helicoiled or buy a new stem, up to you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
