Re: [RBW] New Betty Foy frame: trouble getting bolts into brazeons

2012-12-30 Thread Peter Morgano
I have had this issue on a couple of Rivs, in place of a tap I used a well worn M-5 bolt so I knew it wouldnt bind up. I just ran it through a few times on each of them, it wasnt 100% better but def made it usable. I can tell you the brazeons got super hot running the "tap" but it did seem to work.

The "right way" is to carefully run the correct size tap through the paint-clogged threads. The tap should go through fairly easily if it is the correct size (3mm or 4mm?). Borrow them if you can, but taps of this size aren't outrageously expensive, and good to have in the tool kit. Good luck,

Not a Foy owner, but I do own a Gomez (same thing) that I really like for commuting and errands. Great design. Yours looks really nice. Enjoy! From: William To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, March 27, 2012 9:42:44 AM Subject: Re: [RBW] New

She's a beaut! Hopefully I'll see that one out on the road. I'm leaning hard towards a 58 before they go, as well. On Monday, March 26, 2012 11:00:14 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > Great looking bike. I'm tempted to get a 62 as they are phasing them out. > > On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at
