I've stripped the bolt on my colony's integral seat clamp, and yes I could try to find the right allen bolt and nut to replace it or I could buy a seat clamp and cut off the lugs on the frame at the weld.
anyone see/know of any potential problems with doing this?

thanks for that Rob...most helpful...I already know i'm a juicy purple fruit. :daumenhoch:
think i'll get a hacksaw and a grinder out anyway.
-
personally i'd go down the new bolt route? if you fook it up with the grinder then it's a new frame on the cards!
-
helicoil it, prob solved then :daumenhoch:
-
it's an actually bolt and nut that fit with in the frames lugs, the lugs aren't threaded.
the bolt and nut are both f***ed.
a regular M6 nut fits on one side, but not found an M6 allen bolt easy to come by.
-
someone on here will know where to get one....try Mr Spacefruit, i'm sure he knows of an engineers which would have one? :daumenhoch:
-
Send me your address I think I've got about 300-400 of them............what lengh are you looking for ?

They are great, aint they? We do away with the awful wedge system on handlebar stems and replace it with a much better clamp. Then we take away the clamp system from seatposts and replace it with a wedge ... cos it LOOKS better. :crazy2:
(I do know the main reason clamp-on stems are better than wedge stems; because it removed the limitation on the fork stear tube thickness, but I still dont see what is wrong with a seat clamp :-\)

I'm with you on that one Alex, the Fly post is overpriced and heavier than using a post and clamp. Seems to solve a problem that never exisisted!
Ah hum.

Try and get a bolt like this-from a BMX frame with integral clamp.
