On my Appaloosa the internal diameter of the seat tube was actually 
slightly over 26.8. I tried three different 26.8 posts I had, including the 
one supplied with the frame, and they were all slightly loose with the 
binder bolt not tightened. As I had a 27.0 Nitto and an adjustable reamer, 
I reamed the seat tube so that the 27.0 post was an exact fit in the seat 
tube.

Re: [RBW] Snapped Clem seat binder bolt

2024-04-16 Thread 'Michael Kashuba' via RBW Owners Bunch 
Very interesting indeed. About a year after Rivendell built up my orange 60cm Appaloosa, I was on a “Bike Around the Buttes” ride in Northern California and my seat post began gradually slipping down. I tightened it a bit more at a mid-ride rest stop, and it broke in two…. without much torque at all. I was amazed…..Luckily, I was able to “borrow” a less essential but same size bolt from my pannier rack, and everything has been fine the last few years. Is it possible that Rivendell received a bad batch of bolts? Odd….Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 16, 2024, at 9:10 PM, Diana H  wrote:I also snapped the seat binder bolt on my new Platypus.

I also snapped the seat binder bolt on my new Platypus. No amount of 
tightening would keep my post from sliding. I posted about this on Reddit 
and somebody told me that I needed to grease the threads. When I tried to 
remove the bolt it snapped. I replaced with a random bolt from a hardware

My greased Roadini binder failed almost immediately with very little torque 
applied. Seems it was slightly too short for the job. Replaced with this 
bolt  and this nut 
. The new bolt is ever so slightly 
long for the application but it works great. The blackish nut is not my 
preference but I live in the country and was eager to source a robust 
solution. (And not much of it shows as most of it is hidden inside the seat 
lug.) Delivered, this was a $30 resolution (which makes me feel foolish); 
Rivendell could do so much better here.

Re: [RBW] Snapped Clem seat binder bolt

2024-04-15 Thread Patrick Moore 
Blue Loctite kept a slightly undersized thinwall Syncos titanium post from
slipping (1" per 2 miles) on my 1999 Riv Road custom fixie gofast until I
replaced it with an Am Classic and then with a 7410 Dura Ace.

Blue Loctite can do most things: do your taxes, weed your garden, watch
your toddler, prepare a gourmet meal. I used it liberally on the cradle of
a Nitto 1-bolt seatpost to keep the very improperly set up saddle from
changing angle on me mid-ride.

I do agree that a new seatpost or honing are better fixes, but FWIW.

Same thing happened on my brand new Platypus last year. Seatpost was 
slipping and twisting and I overtightened it and snapped the bolt. Replaced 
it with a spare from my bolts tray and it hasn't slipped in almost a year.

The binder bolt snapped because the seatpost was too small. The bolt and 
post need to be replaced so this doesn't happen again.

Re: [RBW] Snapped Clem seat binder bolt

2024-04-14 Thread Igor 
Agreed, thanks for sharing the information Danny. Per suggestion by Alex W, 
I also will swap the bolt for a black socket cap instead of stainless. 
Stronger but no galling..

@Danny -
Very good to know. I thank-you for the information. I think I will grease 
mine as a precaution. I'm sure that Igor appreciates it, as well.

Re: [RBW] Snapped Clem seat binder bolt

2024-04-13 Thread Danny 
I’ve had that happen on a new Riv before.

This is from a Riv newsletter last year:

*Also, make sure to grease the binder bolts before you tighten them down.
They ship to us dry and they have a tendency to gall and not tighten down
enough unless they're greased up.*
