register Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hey, my rear magura mount now has 3 of 4 bolts stripped, now I have just messed another. The newly stripped one is at the point where putting the bolt in will strip it further. Do I: a) Find somewhere that will helicoil it? (nr south east london) or throw it into a burning skip laughing? It's a Czar Ivan stock. It's a nice frame, I like the geo, weight etc. But I'm guessing it won't cost the earth to replace it with something similar. Let me know what you think!

theom Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Put a bolt under the clamps then put the bolt into the mount to stop it moving sideways, you can pick up a helicoil kit on ebay for about 15 quid? well worth the money imo.

craigjames Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 im pretty certain he didnt mean too it happens to us all pretty shit reply IMO Wouldn't say it happens to all of us at all, pretty sure it's easier not to strip a thread, certainly easier not to strip a thread let alone 3 of them. But as Matt said, daft topic, you're asking us whether you should pay someone 5 pounds to helicoil your mount in a frame you like a lot or chuck it and buy a new one...... Don't think you need anyone to tell you what to do there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 im pretty certain he didnt mean too it happens to us all pretty shit reply IMO Never happened to me in over ten years of riding. I've done a stem bolt before but never a brake mount. You just need to be more careful and think about what you can feel through the allen key rather than just mullering it until it strips. Anyway, get them all helicoiled and you should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

register Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 cool, ok, now everyone's let off a load of testosterone: I guess I'll go about trying to find a place that'll helicoil, I had no idea what kinda cost I could expect to pay, so yeah, if it's around £5 a bolt then it's a no brainer. In my defence, 2 of the 4 maggy bolts where f**ked when I got the bike. Which brings me to my next question: what kinda place should I go to for helicoiling? I'm not confident enough to do it myself with a kit. Car garage? bike workshop? Should anyone know of any such place around south london se5 please let me know Would appreicate any input. What's with all the aggrovation on this forum anyway? I though we were just here to help each other out, not wave our dicks around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
