    Been tying spokes, bolts, and grips forever. I've been riding for over 50 years.

    Protip: use safety wire to connect the foot pegs with the buckles of your boots for extra grip on those loooong jumps!

      Great idea man. Personally, I like to safety wire my goggles to my helmet for extra roost and crash protection. Also, when the track is really muddy and the competition is fierce I like to safety wire my gloves to my jersey for the same reasons.

    I don't use safety wire specifically, but I use a lot of baling wire looped and twisted to hold my skid plate on real tight. I've had nuts back off them before, and it's just another point of security.

    If you use it to make booby traps is in then called unsafety wire? Like to prevent burglars? I guess it's a safety thing for me in that case, so maybe quasisafety wire, or maybe I'm over thinking.
    But seriously, great video. It's a cheap way to keep things running in good order.

    How do u use it on bolts?

    • @tylertripp618
      @tylertripp618 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are holes in the bolt head and you connect it in a tightening direction

    • @SkinnySkinch
      @SkinnySkinch 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you'd have to buy a bolt kit that has special little holes drilled in the heads.

      We have a how-to just for using it on bolts that should be dropping anytime now. -Charles

      LOL. Yeah I'm talking about the teams in general. It would spice things up if they had to work on their own bikes though! 😂 -Charles
