I am mounting the DAX 70 into my bike but the downtube is a little large. In the instructions he recommends pulling these studs and replacing them with longer ones.
How do I do this? I really don't want to drill a hole in my frame.
Double nut the stud then tighten them both down. Then when you turn the nuts together counter clockwise your stud will turn too.
It's just screwed in there.
I seen somewhere here where a dude got a plate with four holes. The two inside holes lined up to where the studs were and bolts were used to set the plate down in the stud holes.
Then the two outside holes he used a "U" bolt from a muffler bracket. He put it around the large frame then tightened it down.Then to reduce vibration you can take an old inner tube and snip some of that to cushion the U bolt between the bolt and the frame.
There are a lot of other ways this is done. Search for front mount.
The guys here are pretty ingenious.
