Im sure yes, probably a threaded rivet, holt the metal part with pliers or tuny vuse grip and unscrew itNickldn wrote:On my bars there is a bit of metal visible where the threaded section goes into the bars. To unscrew the bolt do you think it's possible to hold that part with long nose pliers and then turn the bolt?

Hopefully Yoeleo will sort this out for you. They really should publish a torque spec, it is a carbon part after all.bcmf wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 8:47 pmYeah I reckon its the only way I am gonna get that screw out or maybe pull the whole lot out completley but that leaves me wondering will one bolt be secure enough to hold a 1030?
It also means actually breaking the supplied mount.
BUT before I go down that road I want to see what Yoeleo say or they can turnaroud and say 'Well you have broken it fully now! Tough shit.'
I recon worse case scenario you could use araldite to glue the threaded insert back in.

That threaded insert is toast as it has pulled free of the carbon. There needs to be spacers underneath the mount/between the threaded insert and the underside of the computer mount. Based on the screen capture below, that type of installation is simply going to pull the mount out of the carbon unless there is something opposing that force like the spacers in the image being on the underside of the mount.

This is what mine looks like.
Took me a while to figure out the optimal order for the spacers which come with it.

Just an observation, but it seems to me the wider spacers should be underneath to provide a more stable base which I think would alos reduce vibration. All that should be needed on the other side under the bolt head, would be a flat washer in a large enough diamter to span at least 70% of the width of the mount.

Replacing the rivnut is possible, good luck with Yoeleo.
Get a small flathead screwdriver and gently tap it into the rivnut flange denting it to give a little purchase then holding that in place try unscrewing the bolt. Otherwise just cut the carbon mount, it's relatively cheap, and remove the bolt. You can then drill out the old rivnut and replace it with a new one. My mount didn't come with any tube washers luckily I had some aluminium tube washers kicking around. It's not the end of the world and not a major failure of the bars.

Got the nut out. Managed to get a small screwdriver onto threads and hold it while I turned the nut.
Got some araldite between the carbon and the part,
Seemed to have worked as the nut went in and stayed in. So will put on the mount later and go for a spin later over some rough roadsand see how it holds up!

Well done for getting it sorted.
I hope a bit of araldite will be enough to secure the screw, it should not need much force to keo the mount steady.
Let us know how it goes.

Nice. I would think the setup in your image to be a good example of how to properly install the computer mount.
