Louis p Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) sounds a good idea to me, but why not just take it to a engineers and get them properly helicoiled?louis.. Edited June 24, 2007 by Louis p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 1) youre brake is working badly. More than likely thats because its strapped on using zipties rather than being bolted to the frame lolas for helicoiling, do it yourself, seriously. Peace of pineapple piss to do. Only bad thing is the cost of the kit, near on £20 for about 10 helicoils. But atleast then you've got it and you can rent your services out to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shansen Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 my friend did the same thing and rethreaded his frame so he just has to use some slightly larger bolts in the calmps but works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
