helecoil/ re threading question

winking weasel

Retro Guru
ok got a set of rock shox which had a slightly dodgy thread on one
v brake mount but i decided to go with it and fit brakes. well i used the
brakes i guess one to many times and it pulled the boss out now
obviously the hole in the forks is now bigger than the v brake boss
ive tried chemical metal but as soon as the spring has tension the
boss gives in and spins. is helicoil the only option (other than disc
brakes of coarse but that involves changing wheels and brakes and
becomes expensive)
cheers
 
what size are the old canti bolts? can you tap them to 10mm maybe? is there enough meat on the casting to tap them out?
 
seek out replacement fork lowers in preference to discs. Nowt wrong with helicoiling though. :cool:
