Pah Bear Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Needed to change my seat position before my Saturday morning ride and ... stripped the hex bolt holding the seat. Seeing my weekend cycling flying out the window, I removed the seat post with seat and rushed to Nut & Bolt for help. They could provide a replacement bolt but were unable to remove the stripped unit. Off to Bicycle Exchange to talk to Avron for advice. His reply "BMC will sort you out." and so off I rushed again. By this time it was 11:30. Although BMC close at 12:00, Sampie took on the job and after trying different methods, managed to remove the offending stripped bolt by drilling off the bolt head - without any damage to my precious carbon seat post. Kudos to the staff at BMC for their willingness to go the extra mile to assist a self help bicycle maintenance clod from a sticky position. Sampie, you're a star.

Pah Bear Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 They are my go-to people for when a job is too difficult to do myself! They mine too, but I was so panicked I didn't think straight. Took a while for the brain to reset. Must have happened AFTER I wrote the article. Not sure if anyone noticed it's Bolt & Nut and not the other way round. Should actually thank the B&N Maitland guys too. They were ultra helpful but obviously hesitant to mess around with my Fizik carbon seat post.
