So.. I keep my bike solid, always make sure the cage is snug before riding. The last sesh the cage started rattling like a SOB. I attempted to tighten it down and could not get the bottom socket cap tight. The nut always grabs so I only need the alan socket to get it snug. I was going to pull the cage off and redo the nut with a Nylon Lock Nut like I did the rear all thread. Looking down the tube with a flash light it looks like the bolt is free b/c of the lip. I basicly have to roll the bike over the cage and plastics to get it free so I can see what the deal is. It wont budge so I decide to use a wheel and cut it off. Here is what comes rolling out of the tube.



All I can think of is it came loose inside the tube and I laid it over on the right side and the vibrations worked it back to the bottom. Talk about some bad luck.

Im confuzed. what exactly happened? Do you need a hardware kit?

How the F**k do you dooo that?! oh lord that suckssss hjahah geez

maybe im retarded but i still have no idea whats going on lol but thats ok you dont have to try to explain it to me, we'd be here a looooooooong time haha

he didnt realize the nut was still on the bolt because it was backwards so he thought he was just looking at the end of the bolt sticking through the cage so he cut it off and realized the nut was still on the bolt
