Brandy Truffle:
Ok. Bought this from the For Sale section this week after searching for a while for right colour. Got it only to discover it's been overtightened and the alloy lugs have splayed out where the pin has bowed out as well.It looks at busting point and on my frame when i put it on the tube it doesnt even clamp the post.

Any ideas if this can be rescued guys.I paid good money for it and would rather use it if i can.  :'(

Sorry about cameraphone closeups...

Mattdub:
Looks about fooked TBH !

Did seller not mention "modifications" ?

snav69:
Oh Dear  :shocked:
Tiz fooked by the looks of it  :-\ Looks like its been used on the bigger seat tube ie - Burner
But it would take some force to do that to it  >:(
Like Matt says , did the seller mention it  ??? If not you have been done over bud  :knuppel2:

I think it's recoverable, I've sent a pic of it to a mate to see what he says, he might be able to tell us what to do or may ve able to make up another rivet for it  :daumenhoch:.

lazychubs:

get it nice and warm and slowly clamp the vice
but only a smigde at a time
ive hit one with a hammer trying to snap the rounded allen bolt
