James Shields Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ok so basically as it says in the title. i have stripped the threads off my pedal (left side) which isnt a problem but i have also stripped my crank arm. My cranks are fsa forged, is there anything i can do to 'repair' them? i have been told about helicoiling it but, not sure where to get the kits or how to use them etc, as i have never needed to. I have seen that tarty sell cnc thread inserts but they are only for Tensile. Any ideas/ help? Thanks people james. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWalker2 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Try and get your hands on a 9/16 LH Tap, possibly pretty hard.. If that doesnt sort out the thread then helicoiling is an option, however im not too sure where you would find a LH Helicoil kit, appart from that just try and get a new LH crank arm?

Thanks for all the comments and i have thought about the one side, but i have a friend splitting a GU typhoon so i was going to buy ISIS bb and Echo cranks to go with it. Thanks again. james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
