The screw for my seat post clamp is so rediculously tight that I stripped the screw.  What do I do to get the screw out?

What is the best way to get your grips off on put new ones on so they will not move around on you?

I bought a new chain and want to take the old one off - the old one has a safety clip and the new one doesn't, just a little bolt.  Is this safe or normal? What's the easiest way to change a chain?

Thanks for all your help!!

drill the allen bolt out of you seat clamp.

i always blow grips off of bars with my air line, but a thin screwdriver and some wd40 will work fine....or the best way...cut em off

you can get a link extractor from your local bike shop for a few quid, and they will also sell you a split link if you need it.

ok??

haro, how do you do

putting grips on, ye need to make sure the bars are completely grease free and i spray hairspray into the grips n just slide em on, next day grips are stuck tight and easy to get off, when need be, using rom blokes non airline method :daumenhoch:
