Weird allen bolt hunt - Tune Starkes seatpost

Posted on
  • Hey, as I am a cack handed twat I managed to round the titanium bolt that came on my Tune seatpost, and googling has been unsuccessful in trying to find a replacement that isn't part of the 75 Euro official replacement.

    Can anyone help? I've managed to replace it for now with a regular m5 bolt, but I want to sell it (as I fucking hate it) - I paid £30, would anyone like it for that posted?

    It's silver, 31.6mm

  • Possibly. Picture?

  • That might even test the mighty clerkenwell screws. Well worth popping down to them though.

  • Cap head in the drill and file it as you spin it?

  • My god, that might actually work. Easiest fix seems to be to use one of those conical washers from a brake pad I think, but I love the idea of setting up a tiny lathe.

    @phildas pic below. Cut to 350.

    (I suspect the reason I had issues is because I installed it backwards I think. I'm going to try it on the turbo tonight and if it stays still I'll keep it but if not I'm in the market for a 31.6 or 27.2 inline post).

  • Right, got a Thomson now so if you're interested in the tune @PhilDAS let me know. Both bolts fucked but it's working with regular m5.

  • Has it got no logos? Both the ones I’ve had have got the logo on the side where this one appears blank

  • Logo on one side, I'll take a better photo tomorrow. I think I had it backwards which was the issue.

  • Ah yeah you can see the angle on that cross piece that goes through it

  • Be interested in the bolts with a round head, depending on the diameter of the round bit as a bodge for a headlamp.

  • Yeah, seems obvious now.
