Hello,
Does anyone have any advice for cleaning the threads out on a campagnolo RD hanger?
I had a frame resprayed but it came back with paint on the threads of the hanger.
It's an early 1970s frame and from what I understand, I need a 10mm x 26tpi tap - but these aren't easy to find. Anyone got an idea where to look?
I read somewhere that it's possible to use a campagnolo rear axle to chase out the thread if you screw it in carefully from the back of the hanger. It doesn't sound like a terribly good idea though.
My local bike shops are pretty clueless when it comes to old bikes, they either can't or don't want to help. I could send it back to the people who sprayed it but that could take weeks.
Cheers for any advice,
Johnny
