the orginal Magura bolts are short

which has coursed the theads on my frame to strip

*it only goes in about 3-4 theads*

so its very short

which are doin to job

but i m afriad that the next time i hav to adjust the brakes

its ll strip the rest of the theads

so i was wonderin if any had done this before

and

if theres a soloution to it part from buyin a new frame

or

changin to rear disk

You could drill out the holes slightly larger then tap a larger thread in, then you would be running larger, stronger bolts, you would also have to drill out the magura clamps too

yer i thought of that as well

I have the same problem...

One of them thread is completely gone

So i run v-brakes with adapters...

I put some superglue around a magura bolt and just shoved it in

And wow, it holds pretty nice actually.

But i soon gonna upgrade to maguras, i dont know what happends then.

I think i drill the tread off totally and tap new and bigger thread in it.

Magura adapters need then drilling too but thats okay with me .

hi

There is no point in tapping it as it will be just as strong as it was before .Go to a local engineer and see if they can helicoil it its the strongest way of doing it.It should only cost about 10-15pounds.

hope this helps

Damn right! Helicoiling is basically where you stick this thing that looks a bit like a screwdriver into the threaded object. Its like a sharp bolt sort of thing (having a bit of trouble explaining ). It just re-threads things.

If you still dont have a clue what i'm on about, use the search!!

i know wt that is...

you can make the screw but justin a Dye

but i dont know what the other thing is called

which makes the theads in the holes

i m sure its somthin like heilcoil
