Fair play, give it a bash then

i've been wondering this too, however i have been put off by how aggressive the stuff is, it'll quite easily "melt" a polystyrene cup, and takes the paint off a a vehicle ramp in a very short time. i personally wouldnt do it due to fear of it damaging the hoses or seals from the inside out, and you not being able to realise this until something fails. Not sure if our little push bike hoses etc are made of the same stuff as what you would find on a motorbike/car.

sweet, cheers for the links, the try-all product looks like the flashiest, so will probably go with that haha

cheers guys, didnt know there where metal ones available, have been looking round the house trying to find a nut the right size to jam in there haha will give setting them up properly a go, was using the tpa to do to much adjustment by the sound of things

Hi all, bit of a multi-purpose thread, first purpose is to say hello to every one as im a new member to the forum. Now thats done, down to business..... ive got a hs33 rear brake, when i got the bike the tpa was knackered, so i go out, get a new one and fit it, in one day ive managed to strip all the threads out off the plastic nut. Is this down to me being very ham fisted or just poor design? i am used to working on and riding motorbikes, so it could just be me being a bit of a brute with it. Can anyone recommend a way of fixing/bodging it, cos there is no way im paying out another 4 quid for a product that i see is poorly designed. Thanks, Dan.
