Ashley Smith Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 you can only have them sleeved, no chance of having a helicoil for there matey, contact argos cycles for sleeving the frame, there your best bet, it will be around £50 to £70 thoughash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huge Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 If the thread can't be repaired or its too expensive try one of these, a threadless bottom bracket...http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product.asp?pf_...amp;src=froogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Thread tapping is generally exactly what it says, cutting a thread into the frame. I am pretty sure halfords and local bike shops can re-thread a bottom bracket.Other than that, superglue it in or get the welder out.

Tommy d Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Sadly superglue doesn't hold for very long as Gilly found on his last Giant... Did a few rides though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
