Back in the old days when I used to ride a RT, I would read about other RT'ers that would complain about missing fasteners. These reports often surfaced when attending rallies. Some suspected there were thieves about, others made references to more mysterious explanations. Why would someone steal a fastener and if fasteners did disappear on their own, where did they go? Stories like these helped me move on to K bikes.
I had to tell you that so I could tell you this. Since having my GT, I have had to for a number of reasons, take my tupperware off. I have gotten pretty darn fast and don't fear it any longer. Now for the strange part. Lately I have noticed that after I get everything back together, yep, got a extra fastener or two left over. I look here and there for empty holes, nope, all happy there. So maybe there was some grain of truth being whispered by those tin hatted RT'ers, muttering about string theory and such. Any of you that find yourself missing a fastener, I know where they are going. They keep showing up in my little bag that I keep handy when taking things apart. I figure by this fall I will be able to open my own House of Fastners. If I don't have what you want in stock, a little patience and I will have it, just as soon as I go under the plastic again.
