Do not giggle at this. Do your downtubes wiggle? NO, this is not a Beavis and Butthead question.

 

I only have one and it depends on what I am doing with it.

 

No, they shouldn't. edit: I typed other stuff but it was going so wrong!!!

 

Mainly when I walk.

The things in the car? Not really, unless I grab hold and really start twisting it around. It's solid otherwise.

 

Just out of curiosity, why would you do that?

 

Only if I don't wear a bra

 

tee hee. umm no they don't.

 

I hope you wouldn't describe those as "downtubes"

 

<-'s don't wiggle but instead hangs to the left.

 

can we verify that? ummmm, that is, if you aren't a guy.

 

Yeah, but Geoffrey's a little particular about who touches him.

 

yuck. politics.

 

Remove the shifter center piece and unscrew the fasteners for the tubes, get some adhesive backed felt and cut narrow strips (a table top paper cutter will do it neatly) long enough to wrap around the faux supports (down tubes) and some pieces to fit between the tubes and the Styrofoam blocks they sit on as well as the contact points between the tubes and the head unit. Tape the felt around the edges of the openings where the supports enter the shifter center piece as tidy as possible and insert the tubes. Screw the tubes down until they come to a stop and no further; the large fastener head on the tubes is misrepresentative of the amount of torque needed. I also added some other touches but the end result is a very secure down tube that won’t squeak or creak.

 

sure. go ahead and ruin a perfectly non-responsive thread.

 

It was rattling in the cold.

 

Too many people with sexually ambiguous names in here.

 

I've had a child, and I'm 36, of course my jigglies wiggle a little bit. However, being in SoCal, there are countless professionals that can help me with that. It's a mod I'm looking into.

 

+1, my cousin married a plastic surgeon

 

snicker <--- not a giggle.

 

BTW, the tubes insert through the center piece from the bottom up so that cover around the shifter must be pulled up to access the Styrofoam base and get a neat reinsertion.

 

I think you could have stopped sooner.

 

Only when my Mini sees another Mini topless

 

People around here live for threads like this...

 

Maybe in 30-40 years when gravity completly takes them over

 

Doc, thanks for the laugh! I needed that.
