\nIt’s smoking quite a bit. <\/div>\n

\nIt looks just like a cheap Chinese restaurant with MSG as its selling point.<\/p>\n

\nYou see this rarely, but even if you clamp the rubber directly, it won’t float. We insert a sleeve inside and determine the play based on the difference in total length. With this approach, the tightening is ambiguous, the rubber shrinks, and it ends up rattling.<\/p>\n

About the mounting bolts.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen bikes where cap bolts are installed from inside facing outward.<\/p>\n

If it’s for theft prevention or something like that, it’s fine, but otherwise it’s better to use them from the outside or use hex bolts for better workability.<\/p>\n

Also, please avoid using hex bolts with M8 13mm across flats and M10 17mm across flats if possible.<\/p>\n

\nWhat an awkward position for the shift lever\u2026 super tight.
\nIt’s shaking and vibrating, so they want it fixed.
\nOne bolt is broken and missing.<\/p>\n

\nM4, I thought it’d be a pain, but it came right off! Lucky.<\/p>\n

\nPan head bolts\u2014please stop using those too. The hole widens quickly and they strip easily.<\/p>\n

I don’t think they’re suitable for areas around the step where you need a solid tightening.<\/p>\n

\nA haiku for the moment: “I wonder why \/ This long neck below \/ Serves no purpose”<\/p>\n

Sorry for the quietly unpopular haiku trend.
