They're held in place with a screw that cinches it around the tube, so you can reposition if need be.<br /><br />The only problem is that they are hard to find these days, since most bikes have guides that are welded in place. You might try an online vendor called "Loose Screws" for some.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments!<br /><br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091258691699601116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248348955894622692.post-35162327199553771102010-06-12T11:56:17.004-04:002010-06-12T11:56:17.004-04:00That bike looks really nice.

Do they rattle at all?
