How to Install Blind Rivet Nuts
I received an email recently from a friend who is attempting to build a bike for the first time. Building a bike to meet your exact specifications — to fit your body and riding style completely — is a pretty rad undertaking. But it ain’t easy. My friend wrote and said he was stuck; the instructions said to install blind rivet nuts, but he wasn’t sure how, or even if he had the right tools. So I grabbed my tools, hopped on my bike and rode over to his house and we did it together. And, bingo-bango, the bike is finished and I gotta say, it’s one sweet-ass ride.
I wish I could help everyone build their own bike. But I can’t. So, lovely readers, since I can’t help you build your bikes in person, I’ll leave you with this handy video that shows how to install blind rivet nuts on a bike.
Are Rivnuts the Same as Rivet Nuts?
Yes. You’ll notice that the man in the video uses the term ‘rivnuts’ from time to time. It’s just a shorter way of saying ‘rivet nut’. So if you’re Googling instructions on how to build or repair a bike and see the term ‘rivnuts’, rest assured, it does just mean ‘rivet nut.’

Excuse me? I have noticed every bicycle on the retail market is a mechanical failure. I’m a racing pro and I’ve just decided to het a new bicycle. I’ve been riding bicycles for over 35 years and I have run into the dead end bike on the retail market. BLAH! It’s everywhere. I hope to see a good bike some time soon.
All of the bicycles are too small, bad grades of metal, and weak-too weak to ride. Tires are to small to use the brakes and rims are too small to meet the dynamic requirements of mounting the tires. Frames are just as bad. The bike frames are too short and not long enough to have a safe ride because the wheelbase is too short. Many other comments and critique from.my professional BMX Mt. Bike racing expeirience, including atomic weight, axle gravity to frame balancing, high 1 million + rpm high wheel speed, bearing race and spindle displacements, including chain dynamics. ‘ A chain does not want to shift any gears at all on a single speed chain, and on a twenryone speed BMX Mt. Bike, the chain does’nt even want to shift across six speeds at a chainstay of 36″ inches.
Very well, good day. Just criticizing the defunct presence of mechanically defeicient bicycles and waste of space the the bikes have made an eyesore appearance to the public. I hope to see a good bike again soon. Without weaklings trying to make a lighter bicycle because they can’t handle a bicycle. Pro Bikers are not gping to like this, and neither do I.
