Si-man Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 They work ok but only for short term usageBest off just spending the money on helicoiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rider3 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) yea i will get it helicoiled but i dont know where to go to get it re-threaded any sugestions? and u say "short term" how long is thatthanks Edited July 5, 2006 by 3rider3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Well ideally you want your brake up and running properly sharpish so that the bike works again.Look in the yellow pages for engineering places round your area and see if they can sort you out with helicoiling (forgot the size, sorry)A jubille clip will work, but they dont work amazing or anything.I had to do it once and i always had to tighten the screw up after a few hours because it kept on coming loose an the force of the brake was moving the clip and making the piston move about.

3rider3 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 ok will try find a place, will the jubilee clip be good enough to stop the brake from slipping if done up tight enough or i could try putting a few clips on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 has anyone got any pictures of this, i want to to show my mate cos hes threaded his too.thanksJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 What you do is assemble the brake like normal with the bolt in, then get a jubille clip an put it around the underside of the tubing and over the magura mount then tighten.Zip tie booster if you want to stop it rattling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rider3 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 i have no pics but i have to use the clips though, can u buy re-threading kits/tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, helicoiling kits are around the £20 moark with all tools bar a 5.? drill bit (cant remember size)Get someone else to do it though because you sound like you have no clue about what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rider3 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 ok thanks will try find one. has anybody used a jubilee clip and the brake was good?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 You need a 5.2mm drill bit and a m5x0.8 coil. Send the frame to me and i can do it for a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 i was surprised at the number of places that do helicoiling my local bike shop is tiny and has some old people running it but they done it i would just ask around see who can help i wouldn't trust the old clips me self but yeah i can see it just about working another option though i have never done it is filling the hole with weld and re-tapping it if thats any use to you.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm using a jubilee clip at the moment because am lazy to sort it out proper, been running the clip for about 5 months now and it's holding down the mounts very well. Nothing wrong with it only thing thaty it's annoying if you want to re-sort your whole brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rider3 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 i found out today that if you have a zone zip frame and you rounded your mount threads off you cant use a jubilee clip, the frame is too low and the crank wil hit the clip.
