gussie Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 depends how badly the threads are damaged but tartybikes will use tap or die (can't remember which tool it is) on the frame which means they will re-thread the bottom bracket hole/space (can't think of the proper name). thus you will then be able to install a bottom bracket again.hope this wasn't to late as you may have bought a new one already but if not hope it was helpful.gusgus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (HEART) Trials Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 you could get it helicoiled but i recomend getting it tapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 you could get it helicoiled but i recomend getting it tapped i dont think theres a helicoil kit for that size that does that fine a thread.....yu see, bike threads are very fine to stop bits shking loose etc..However, you could probably get an insert machined for it...then get the bb tapped to fit the insert?

basher Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Your options are, glue the bottom bracket in, or get a company to put a metal insert in which will cost about 50-80quid i think. I would just save for a new frame and glue the bb in for now. You cant re tap it as think about it if the threads gone the hole is technically bigger so when you try tapping you will either be tapping hardly any material at all or fresh air. If you drilled the thread out of a magura mount on your frame the bolt would just go in and fall. If you stick a tap in you cant tap it as the hole is bigger as a tap cuts material away leaving the thread you would have to add material to the hole somehow, so stop saying get it retapped just think about it first.edit: you cant helicoil it Edited January 11, 2008 by basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy b Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 If i was you and i had enough dosh then id probably get a new frame! Theres loads out there and if you get validated soon you could probably pick up a decent one for £50 on TF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
