Stripped disc thread on hub - bolt options?
- Thread starter Nick C
- Start date
My rear hub has 3 stripped threads. I still use 6 bolts, just with a lot of thread lock. When it dries the threaded bolt holes do seem to tighten up a fraction when the bolt is turned.
I was going to try a larger bolt but wasn't sure if the holes in the disc were big enough.
My disc hasn't warped either.

Which Ti bolts were these? Was the thread malformed to cause this problem?
I'm curious as I'm using cheap Ti blts off ebay - threads are cut - not rolled - and had no prblems to date;
apparently JB weld - two part epoxy filler - is as strong as metal - so the manufctuere's claim -so you owuld be able to retap the thread.
most of the bolt on hubs have small individual tabs for the rotor bolts - do not be tempoeted to fit larger bolt M6 as this may weaken the tab (mavic corssmax are know to split at that point) ; for same reason a helicoil is not a good idea. (if you hub is different to what I describe then ignore me).
