I show how fix a bottle cage boss mount that just spins when trying to tighten or loosen the screw. I also show how to remove a screw from the mount when the mount spins in the frame. The issue is a riv-nut that has loosened. I show how to tighten it up with a cheap, easy to get screw, washer and nut.

I lived with a rattling bottle cage FOR YEARS, then I just fixed it in less than 5 minutes for zero cost. You are today's hero.

@crdc9853 10 месяцев назад

Honestly rj the bike guy is by far my favourite RU-vid bike mechanic, he always has a video on how to fix the obscure random problem you've encountered. Absolute legend 👍

@michaelxmckinlay 10 лет назад

Just in case you don't happen to have, or want to buy an 'M5 x .80' bolt, you can use a quick release hub skewer for this repair. It is the same size and thread count. I use a modified seat post skewer for this trick. With the addition of a few spacers the 'quick release' action acts as the wrench (tensioner).

awesome thanks

@martinaxe6390 3 года назад

I owe you a beer, sir! Worked like a charm!

@cornpopwasabaddude4729 Год назад

But make sure you don't reuse that skewer anymore for your wheel & for riding. Do make that skewer as a bicycle tool moving forward for your safety.

Top tip (even 8 years later!)

@tobiasbudding3305 Год назад

This is a quick effect way to solve this problem, I had two rattling mounts and this saved me having to go without my bike whilst the lbs repaired the rivnuts. Thank you for sharing

@abbopeters 7 лет назад

Thank you! It worked! I used your technique on one of my rear rack mounts. I had no idea how those mounts worked. I thought there was a nut behind them and if I removed the screw on the mount that just spun, the nut would drop down inside the seat stay. Who knew it was a rivet nut -- well, you knew. Thanks so much for taking the time to make and share the video and your expertise. Now I've got a rack that's sturdy on both sides. Thanks again!

RJ: You are so awesome! Every time I need to learn how to do something on my bikes, you seem to have the exact video I need. Thanks!

@EmoDuckman 5 месяцев назад

Thank you, I was able to install new rivet nuts using this method :)

@chrisholmquist7725 5 месяцев назад

It worked for me! Amazing. I didn't have a good hex bolt to use, so I used a Phillips-head screw and drove it with a power drill and a low torque setting, working my way up to what seemed like a good tension. Around "10" on my 18V Makita, for what it's worth. Very pleased!

@lionden4 Год назад

I had this issue for 5 yrs. Didn’t really bother me but person I rode been bothered with it. Until I found this channel! I just fixed just now! ( 7/4/2023). It took me awhile to get all the Things I need for this fix and did slowly doing the process to make sure I get the right tension.. and I would like to thank you for sharing this fix! 5 stars..

@thedownhilla Год назад

Thank you RJ! A quick youtube search for "bottle boss thread" and your video told me exactly what I needed to know - looking forward to giving this technique a 'spin' later this week ; )

@That_M.Empher 7 месяцев назад

Bought a brand new bike for $234.00 at Walmart and one them were loose. Called the bike shop and he wouldn't give me a price and suggested I drop it off for him to look at it like it was a Harley or something. Well, thanks to this video I was able to dodge the Jive. Thanks RJ The Bike Guy!

@erics6177 4 месяца назад

With a Walmart bicycle, it always pays to listen to RJ because most services at a bike shop will cost more than you spent on the bike. This is especially true for children's bikes that are in the under $100 range

@harryo6126 3 года назад

Wow! fantastic! thanks it worked, I just bought a new cage and then the bolts were spinning, thought I was doomed until i saw you video. Now it's on and looks great.

@trig33 7 лет назад

Great video thanks. Had a pump mount stuck on and couldn't remove it to allow for vice grips. Used a cable cutter to cut through the pump mount eye lit plastic which allowed it to be removed and reused after fixing the issue as you described.

@DanGleebowls Год назад

Just had a new specialized delivered with this issue, thank you!

@chrismcgee4801 3 года назад

Great video. This worked on my band new (Giant Propel Advanced) carbon frame. It saved me a lot of hassle and warranty wrangling with a retailer who basically didn't want to know!

@jrh1704 Год назад

YOU"RE THE MAN RJ! It worked perfectly and only took a minute. Thank you, you have saved me multiple times now!

@TownofJezza 5 лет назад

@ChrisShawc 8 лет назад

Hi RJ just a note to say thanks for posting this video. I watched it when it was first posted. today I found a loose rib nut on my bike. I remember this video and knew exactly what to do thanks to you. Job done in less than 10 minutes. (Otherwise I expect I would be making a complete mess by trying to solve the problem with glue.)

@pbfrizbee4157 8 лет назад

This worked on my MTB, all four were loose. Thank you!

@GhislainLeduc Месяц назад

oh my god, can't wait to try this!!

@alutious 4 года назад

Ok RJ i have landed on your site yet again, and i have this problem, so i can't wait to try fixing this :-)

@alutious 4 года назад

Just found a bolt from my old mtb somehow, it looks exactly the same as yours, and i also have a slightly bigger nut and a washer, so i am good to go. Have to remove the cage, i have 3 bosses, so when this one started wiggling i just moved the cage down.

@Ok_Rouleur 3 года назад

I should have known that RJ had the solution !

@BadTanLines 3 года назад

Just bought a bike for my gf and two of the bottle cage mounts appear to have this problem. I can't wait to get home and try this, Thanks!

@peterream9437 2 года назад

Just had an issue with sized m5 screws in my frame, and thought there's a trick to this. Hey presto...I found it. Just going to put some wd40 on all the screws first, as they've been in there a long time. Think I took them all out and greased them up, just incase I needed to fit accessories.

@krzysztofpuczniewski1713 2 года назад

great tip, however I couldn't do it due to a massive washer in the way which is not allowing me to catch the mount under it...

@eugenrusu3239 Год назад

This happened to me on a cannondale caad9 frame, the Thing is that between one of the screws and the frame I still have the bottle cage. The cage is metal and I can't take it off cleanly. Do you have any ideas on how to fix that? Much appreciated!

@rodrigobernal2130 7 лет назад

Hi Rj. Great video. What would you suggest if the cage mount is loose AND the screw is rusted in there? Even if I hold the mount, the screw does not turn. Thanks!

@RJTheBikeGuy 7 лет назад

Lots of of a good penetrating oil like Kano Kroil.

@Chew5219 3 года назад

Well I'll be damned, it worked! I didn't have a longer screw, but found the front skewer had the same threading and used it to tighten it down.

@aldrinclementina4297 3 года назад

What's up RJ. I have the same problem on my aluminum bike. I want to spray paint or powder coat it and replace the bottle cages with carbon ones. But My problem is the following. The bottle cages are stocked on the frame. And the mounts on the frame are loose. How can I solve this problem? I took everything from the frame. But this is getting in the way. How can you help me, what do you recommend me ?

@aldrinclementina4297 3 года назад

I have the same problem with a aluminum frame I want to build for my backup rainy days bike. I got it from a friend. But in my case the bottle cages are still on the bike. I want to replace them, but can't get them out. And it difficult to reach the back side of the bottle cages to do that. It's a pity that RU-vid don't allow me to put a pic so you can see the situation. What can I do? I have some parts coming in to rebuild this bike. AMD I don't want this to be my obstacle. Thanks in advance

I've tried for years and years to fix the stuck ones on my bike and all I end up doing is chewing up whatever it is I'm trying to grab a hold of no matter what implement I use, probably best off drilling it at this rate.

@madisonjoyce5964 10 лет назад

shyflirt1 What thoughts did you have on the marine grease, the black EP grease, and the Super Lube?

@RJTheBikeGuy 10 лет назад

Not sure what you are asking. I use different greases in different places. Marine is a good all purpose grease. Super Lube is good if there are plastic or rubber parts. Black EP grease? I used to use regular automotive grease before switching to marine grease. Is that what you mean?

@tudajfor 8 лет назад

Any suggestions on how to fit water bottle screw mounts on a AL frame that doesn't have them? And, do you think it's safe for the frame?

@tankmandead 8 лет назад

What else could I use instead of a vice grip, because I have the same problem on my fixie and I don't have a vice grip.

@nunya685 Год назад

What don't I understand... If the nut that goes over the threads is bigger, how did threading in the bolt help? I've been desperately trying to follow these exact steps, which all worked exactly as shown, UNTIL putting the longer M5-. 80x30 into the rim nut hole. Nothing is getting tighter at all.

I could've used that info back in 2005 by that i mean the lbs that sold me a brand new mountain bike with this exact same problem...their fix didn't hold for long, whatever they did.
