Raceseng rear tophat bolts
Dear internet brain trust:
Does anybody know if the Raceseng rear top hat bolts are threaded or pressed it? One of mine got an accidental dose of too much hurry. |

iirc if you flip it over and see a hex key you can unthread it, might be worth filing down the bolt a little so you don't damage the threads in the top hat when taking it apart.

I tried that. I didn't want to put TOO much torque on it and -- as mentioned --make things worse. Are we sure it's threaded?

It is an M10-1.5, so I had machine screws already that were an exact match. Disaster averted. Last edited by donour; 11-28-2021 at 08:50 AM. |

Update: Got a message back from Raceseng too. The bolts had threadlocker, which I didn't see when I took them off, but explains the required disassembly torque.
