Hi,

Last winter I went to undo the rear mudguard boss on my 2nd hand Trek 1.2 (2014) only to discover after a few turns that the allen bolt was not unscrewing any further as the whole boss was also turning.

The bike was in immaculate condition when I bought it and had only done about 50 miles so I suspect the previous owner wasnt aware of this either.

I attempted to crimp the edges of the boss to the frame so that it didnt spin but this didnt work. As it was part of the frame I didnt think there was much could be done about this, however after recently reading that loose bottle cage bosses are quite common and can be fixed with the right tool, is the same true for mudguard bosses?.
