Rivnut dropped into frame

Carbon...why didnt you say so. Drill the frame.

Make a hook out of a piece of wire or bent paperclip. Hold the frame up an shake 'til the nut is near the hole. Go fishing with wire.

Nothing sux like Electrolux, suck it out with your vacuum cleaner. Even by using a small plastic pipe you will be able to suck it out with your lungs.

What the hell is a "Rivinut"?????

Just for you Widget!!!!!

 

The Rivnut? is a one-piece internally threaded and counter bored tubular aluminium or steel rivet that can be pulled up or headed while working entirely from one side, forming a bulge or head on the blind side. This upset is large enough to resist being pulled through metal or plastic even, under conditions of eccentric load.

You will recognise this as the nut where you fasten your water bottle cage.
