Kenny--Trials Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 So the other day my bearings in my pedals locked up, unwound itself, and me putting weight on it threaded the bugger. So does anyone have any or know where to get M15 sized helicoil inserts or the whole kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 The kit is £100+ unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I guess in general engineering there's not much call for weird 9/16" helicoils in both left and right hand threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yea Helicoil/WTI kits are expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a tool to bore out the remains of the existing threads too, integrated into the oversized taps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yea Helicoil/WTI kits are expensive They're not that bad for normal thread sizes bike bike specific type stuff is just plain weird and so there's little demand which results in expensiveness.
