FYI- when I cut a bolt, I screw on a nut upstream to reshape the bolt after cutting when it's unscrewed.

[@stanf9898]

Now that I think of it, I think Wranglerstar showed us that very trick back when he was building his fancy table.

[@s.t.e.r.e.o.]

always

[@davefromfresno]

Yeah, that's how I do it as well.

[@googies12a]

One of the only near foolproof ways to do it.

[@tonymatthews445]

@@stanf9898 I was actually excited that I may know something that Cody does not. Sadly, for me, I think you are correct.

[@dragonhero14]

Cody. I understand why you like working on motorcycles. They are far more logical and easy to understand than many modern cars. Motorcross Engineers aren't being told by middle management and executives to make things cheaper or less quality for the money. They don't need to put tons of sensors that end up complicating the electrical system or design parts explicitly so that consumers can't work on and repair them.

[@Gideon_Judges6]

People have a misconception that titanium is SUPER strong. It's actually weaker than many steel alloys. It's claim to fame is that it's lighter than steel, and stronger than aluminum.

[@rlovell383]

Going by strength to weight ratio it IS SUPER strong compared to both steel and aluminum.

[@Gideon_Judges6]

@@rlovell383 strength to weight yes, but the same with glass, diamond, concrete, and other materials. Of course there are different strengths in different directions. But anyway that doesn't make titanium any more difficult to cut than most steels. People think it's some supernatural made up hardness like Wolverine's adamantium or Captain America's vibranium, when it's SOFTER than many steels is my point.

[@disco4535]

Titanium's claim to fame is strength-to-weight ratio than steel, not just that its light, and is extremely corrosion resistant.

[@TheSimba86]

it's strong but very soft

Although I am a Pennsylvania man, I am a GNCC and a woods racer for 15+ years, and these videos give me the fizz. I’ve torn my 05’ 450r down to the frame almost every year and rebuilt it to race the following year. It’s a good feeling going as fast as you can through the woods knowing you know every nut and bolt on your machine is good and proper.

[@johnlaranger7492]

Pro tip: always thread on a die before you cut the bolt so that you can back it off to maintain proper threads. I would rethink substituting titanium for steel as for the same diameter bolt it is not as strong. Love your dirt bike videos and one wheel videos! Actually love all your videos

[@breaking_bear]

PRO TIP: first use a die from a tap and dye set to screw onto the threads before cutting bolts to size. Often the die is impossible to install after cutting. So having it on before you cut can save you a headache and make sure your threads are reshaped to factory spec after cutting or filing a bolt.

[@donaldgray5561]

PRO SPELLING TIP: it’s tap and die not dye

[@breaking_bear]

@@donaldgray5561 how dare you. Thanks!

[@ericwest3755]

Highly recommend checking with a master mechanic or engineer regarding bolt material substitution. While for the weight titanium can be stronger then steel what this means in the real world is that a titanium bolt of equivalent tensile strength will have a larger diameter then a steel bolt of equivalent strength. Basically if you have two bolts of identical diameter one made of steel the other made of titanium, the titanium bolt will have less than half the strength of its steel counterpart… I am concerned.

[@daltonmcmaster3489]

I always liked to find a nut to put on the bolt before i cut it so when i did cut it and take the nut off it will help keep the threads nice. Makes it easier to put the thread chaser on it that way.

[@nutrientek3243]

13:00 That effect is called "anodized". There are different types of anodizing as well. They range from simply cosmetic/identification purposes, to actually improving the quality and performance of the part. Worth a bit of research if you're looking for the best.

[@1979augistine]

Love watching video on bike overhaul . Thanks for the great video

[@Crxpert1]

Have you ever tried riding a trials bike? I purchased my first one three days ago. For some reason, I feel like you might really enjoy riding one. I added the long range kit. So mine has a nice seat and holds 2 gallons of gas. I am terrible on it and I can still get Anywhere on it.

[@davefromfresno]

I road some trial events on a Honda xl years ago, definitely would have bought a trials bike if I stuck with it. I really wanted to, but not in the cards. Most definitely a specialty type of bike.

[@nobodynoone2500]

Suspension is the best upgrade (after tires and driver). More power is usless if you can't even control the extremes of what you have.

[@nobodynoone2500]

And my fav pliers are knipex for most but not all things. If you haven't tried parallel-jaw pliers yet, you are welcome.

[@curtwhite876]

The golden plating is titanium nitride. It is a VERY thin but VERY hard coating. But NOTHING holds up against an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel.

[@Kipperbob]

Tip for cutting bolts, put a nut on the bolt before you cut and grind it, removing the nut will correct the thread.

[@DSwann31]

Your patience and attention to detail in an OCD way is inspiring, I really wish I was that thorough in anything I do, lol!! 😊

[@diegodg6149]

Titanium grinding warnings: The particles can burn and catch a part on fire. Its best to have a bucket of Sand or dry clay available to snuff this. The gas released can also be poinsonous.

[@jeffcron931]

Bandsaw works great for bolts. They make some decent setups that make them work like chopsaws...then hit it with a bench grinder to clean them up. You can get the same versatility as a machine shop band saw for way less.

My grandpa was quite a man and he had a near endless supply of cats at his farm. People would dump unwanted kittens at the barn or old farmhouse and he'd give them just enough cat food to keep them fed but not fat. He said they wouldn't hunt if they were fed too much. I can hardly recall seeing a mouse in the barn, or around the house, the cats and the snakes kept them in check. And when he took his afternoon naps on the front porch recliner it wasn't uncommon for one of them to hop in his lap and join him.

[@oldatheart]

So much . Does the kashima provide any functionality? I know with mountain bikes usually just the stanchions are coated.

[@wranglerstar]

Yes, it’s very slippery and perfect for coding shocks. This is why mountain bikes use it and their suspension forks and shocks.

[@ChaseWatkins.]

I would imagine tensile properties of titanium differs from some steel alloy. May want to follow up with an engineer on that substitution of such a critical component.

[@thetoteman]

Put your thread chaser on before you cut the bolt. Makes it so much easier.

[@Grandpa600]

Like your safety style, goggles and hearing defenders, plus gloves. Excellent

[@Shane_O]

Thumbs up for the bolt joke alone… 👍

[@peterzwicker6491]

Thank the 3D modeler for the part precision and fit. Use electrical contact grease to protect from corrosion. A little advise from an East Coast Man.

[@2RiversOutdoors]

Pro Tip: When cutting a bolt down id recommend putting a nut on it before you cut. When you remove the nut it cleans the threads.

[@TheFiremanJoe]

Mama Kitty gonna get hooked on those treats Good luck 🤣😂

[@justincredible520]

"-is worse than an east coast man"...~Wranglerstar. Lmao, love this dude

[@comfortablynumb-im2rd]

Suggestion.....when you shorten a bolt with cutting wheel have a nut ran down a bit on it. Then run nut off when done, chasing threads.

An East coast man would know that.

[@brandonolson6111]

As someone who deals with high end hardware for the space industry I would be extremely suspicious of any Titanium fastener that is that cheap. Judging from the sparks, what you have there is titanium, but judging from cost, is likely a very low grade that is going to be prone to stress failures in high vibration applications.

Wranglerstar next time thread a nut to the depth you wish to cut off of the bolt and then after you make your cut, back the nut off and it will re form the threads on removal.
