Nuts and Bolts
We've all seen plenty of them, but do you really know the physics of how they work?
Whenever you work on something mechanical, nuts and bolts are bound to be there. And you are also bound to come across some mean bastard ones.
If you only work on pristine new bikes, never over-torquing bolts, you are a lucky bastard, and may not need to read this.
But the rest of us have to deal with broken off or rounded heads, stripped threads and way over tightened bolts in difficult to access areas way too often.
Our guide shows you how these problems occur, the best tools and techniques to use when catastrophe strikes, and ways you can help avoid future troubles.
