What are these for? (Read 1689 times)

Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3311	What are these for? Mar 24^th, 2014, 8:33pm Does anyone know what these bolts and threaded holes on the bottom of the F5 boom are for? They're not spaced right for a bottle holder (not that a bottle holder would work there anyway, but that seems to be the usual spacing for anything that bolts on a bike).

It was created as a fund raiser for John Schlitters RAMM ride. It went out of production because it was too expensive to build. I didn't know there were other models available.

Also, be careful about putting too heavy a light on the end, my N/R Moab caused enough vibration that the end stress-fractured and I lost the light (on a downhill in the dark)

The first OAB, however, will hold a hippo on the end...okay, a hippo on a weight control plan. Clown #1 suggested it for my Big Bang headlight, and nary a wiggle from it since...and it doesn't even translate from Bacchetta to Catrike cleanly, (narrower than my post). It easily beat out anything I tried previously.
Thanks again, John!
