shamus Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Your old headset maybe? I assume you were replacing your old one? i have two bikes (bmx and trial) and managed to lose one bolt (dont ask lol) so i just tighten the headset on my bmx up using the bolt, clamp the stem uber tight (phat bmx parts so they so can take the hammering), then i use that bolt in the trials bike (saves weight on the bmx hahaha)I would always recommend that you have the bolt in a trials bike though as you yank up on the bars so often there is a lot of stress here(just to stop everyone thinking, hmmm weight weenie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
