Sorry, this is nothing to do with Zilty, but it's an emergency and I need to post this picture to get mechanical help. If its presence upsets you, please consider it artwork for a netlabel release. |

Your 20000th post was a picture of a bolt. |

I wouldn't call that picture a waste. |

I've just made sure that picture wasn't a waste. Cheers. I'm off for a nap. |

If my calculations are correct Ceri needed to post this picture here to get help... from somewhere else!!! Are we going to allow this flagrant hotlinking? Earn nectar rewards faster with the Nectar Credit Card. |

Every time a motorcyclist comes to look at the picture of a bolt I posted (under the guise that my bike is off the road and I just had to spend £200 getting insured on my old man's car and I need their help diagnosing the problem), Phobs earns 2p in advertising. It's a scam we're running. |

I've just taken my rear caliper out (disc brake) and cleaned it/serviced it, but upon assembly, it's not right. I broke one of the bolts getting it out, but have successfully extracted that and got a replacement. I think that pumping the brake (I bled it) with the other bolt out of alignment may of caused the caliper (a floating one) to pivot around the bolt pictured and damaged it, causing the beveling. I want someone to confirm that the 3 bevels on it are supposed to be there, but didn't have anywhere else online to host the image at short notice (hoping to fix it tonight). |

I have no idea what that meant, but I've a feeling that, as a man, it really ought to get me hard. That it doesn't has me plagued by guilt, anxiety and feelings of inadequacies. |

My floating caliper (girlfriend) often pivots around my bolt (penis) causing damage (ejaculation). Tell Julian Clary gays aren't the only one's who can make supid sexual references out of rubbish. Thank you. |

My girlfriend's brother professed the same feelings when I managed to diagnose the cause of and fix some (trivial) problems with her parent's garage door and one of their cars. He felt that in spite of his success in life, his dad had failed him by not teaching him these sort of skills. I pointed out that he could afford to pay other people to do those things for him, but he maintained "it's not the same". Well, nice to know those people who sneered at the idea of taking design technology at A-Level are seeing that there is a point to DT afer all. It was always seen as a bit of a dupper's subkect at my school and they nearly canned it due to lack of applicants. As an aside: The bevels are supposed to be there and thinking about it, it makes sense- they allow grease to move around lubricating (oo-er missus!) the inside of the hole in the caliper bracket it goes into. Still not fixed the damn thing. This is getting bad, I may have to actually pay a garage to fix my bike. |

Ceri, you've outdone yourself with this thread. |

Mate, the spare bolts should be arrived by the time you come down. If I've fitted them and removed the old ones, you can have the very bolt from this thread as a souvenir, if you'd like? |

Hell yeah! |

you should make a necklace out of it and then always wear your shirt unbuttoned to show it off maybe even have it gilded... |
||||||||
|
|

|

"maybe even have it gilded..." The visual was very good, very good, but whats "gilded"? |
||||||||

oh, i call that gold plated, but non the less, id die to see giginer's hairy chest with the bolt "gilded" oh, the drama.... |
||||||||

Ha ha! How did you guess? I was actually planning on drilling a hole through the top of the bolt (like you would for lock-wiring it) for this purpose. :D Gigi: I've not got any guilding equipment, but if you're up for it, I could smear coppaslip (which is a dirty copper colour) all over it. It'd sort of look like bronze. The ultimate would of course be to get 'BIYC' engraved in it then have it gilded. |

Bolt Update: The problem hasn't been fixed, but the garage have diagnosed what it was- either the caliper, or caliper mount was damaged and bent ever so slightly out of line. It turns out everything I did was correct and the brake bleed was fine too. Bit of a mystery how it got bent, but I don't think they're trying it on. Now that they mention it, it explains why the caliper was sliding, but in the slightly off centre way that it did. Unhappy Epilogue: Giginger will not be able to have the pictured bolt, the garage scrap them for "health and safety" reasons and won't give them back to you. Reason being, people would be tempted to use them again (as I did, from a breakers yard) and it's risky to do so. I couldn't bring myself to explain that I wanted it "as a bit of jewelry, for a mate" so the bolt has gone to bolt heaven, to be melted down and reformed as steel billet. |

Hahaha, it was a go 20K pic also, and to take the bolt back from giginger is way to much, a man needs his parts, at any cost. |

perhaps if you'd explained that it was for a mate from the internet |

DAMMIT! Motherfuckers ruined my life. I got to sit on Ceris bike. In fact, I have a thread to start. |

Dannn_: Gigi is a "real world mate". Last weekend we were drinking Vodka, playing Mortal Kombat and doing tracks. Gigi: And the engine was on. I should of told the garage, "Look, if I gave a fuck about health and safety, I probably shouldn't be riding a motorbike, should I?" |
