Luke Rainbird Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Helicoil them, and they'll be stronger than ever beforeDon't just buy a new frame because you strip a thread or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to strip again.Even forgot they were there until now!Also, no doubt the Czar threads will be about the same as your Echo, seeing as they're from the same manufacturer...

chris13 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 heres the new one chaps, looks like theyve added the cnc rear drop outs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 They have always been CNC dropouts on the Lite frame As for the threads, fit the bolts with copper grease and don't cross thread them, you'll never strip one then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
