snoolax Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 hey guys, i need some help here. Accidentally rounded a thread in my try all stem. It the top one on the fork end as shown in the picture circled in red. May i ask if the stem will still be useable or can it be fixed? will it be dangerous? thanks!

gu trials Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 could possibly retap it to a bigger size and get a larger diameter bolt, which would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoolax Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks guys! before i get the time off to get it fixed will riding with one bolt be fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 probably to be honest. some stems are made with only one bolt. but you risk the stem twisting on the steerer more as obviously it cannot be done up to the same degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
