JA-Q001 Posted December 10, 2008 Share you can try this, but I dont garentee it working. Turn in a screw to about 2mm above the boss. then take 2 flat screwdrivers and lightly bend the sides down, so that it sits firmly again. Otherwise you can buy the actual tool used to insert them, it looks like a poprivit gun, but with a threaded head, that can screw into the boss. Not sure where you can find one.

Azonic Posted December 10, 2008 Share Take it to a bikeshop with a "riv-nut" tool. They can pop a new boss in in a few seconds. Shouldn't run you much more than R50 or so. Get it done properly. I've had it done to two of my frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Lizard Posted December 10, 2008 Share Thanks for the info, but I think I will rather take the lady to my lbs to have the old one removed and a new one inserted, then she will be as good as new and no worrying about me making a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
