How Not To Replace Your Nuts And Bolts Often

By Galen Ochua


You were on your bike, cruising outside and enjoying the warm breeze then all of a sudden your brakes and pedals break down and your bike comes to a stop. If you use your bicycle a lot as a means of transport then this might have happened to you every every so often. Your bicycle's nuts and bolts are to blame for this, which is why you should give these minute components a lot of attention.

While it's true that the frequency of replacing your nuts and bolts would rely on the overall quality of the bike's design, bike owners should mind the ways they use their bikes too. Bolts tend to loosen up easily simply because of the constant tremor from the bike's regular use. Of course, the more components that vibrate, the faster bolts loosen. This can be avoided though.

Yes, you can always resort to steel fabrication for creating yourself the best customized parts for your bicycle but metal fabrication isn't the only way to go. Remember that by utilizing nuts and bolts on your bike for their intended use, you no longer have to replace them frequently even if you've traveled over a million miles .

A primary rule is to not utilize one bolt for attaching several components. The more layers of things attached to the bolt means more load for it. This is often the case for front racks installed to the support of centerpull brakes. Bolts with a forward extension, on the other hand, when used instead of regular bolts tend to last longer. Washers also tend to amplify the probability of the bolts becoming loose. Therefore, they should only be used when required, for instance, when a smoother surface is required between the bolt and a painted or aluminum component.

A forked platform for bolts is suggested to be used on racks. The mount would allow the nuts and bolts to move independently, preventing parts from clashing and vibrating. In a nutshell, bolts can last longer as long as your bike's individual components do not rub against each other as often as possible.
