NukeproofPeanut Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Looking for someone or a place that can tap the threads for me.I got these cranks mahala with a frame I bought. Originally planned to put a Zee crankset on as they on my nukeproof and love them.. But thinking of just fixing these for the interim. I know what I need to do but it's pricey to get the required tools(rather spend it on a zee crankset), and having no luck with thin nose pliers. Any one willing to help in Gauteng? Will buy you a 6pack of your choice[emoji1]
GreatGusto Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Get a small grinding bit on your drill or use a Dremel and just remove that part of the thread that is damaged.
Skylark Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Have you tried using an awl or small flat screwdriver to try lever the damaged threads into place or just clear the threads out, if you run an awl slowly and with some force from the good threads to the bad it may clear things enough
NukeproofPeanut Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Ya tried with a small screw driver. Just not enough leverage or force to move/break them.
Skylark Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Get a small grinding bit on your drill or use a Dremel and just remove that part of the thread that is damaged.I think this is step 2 if you have a dremel and the correct bit, very carefully though. Engineering shop shouldn't be to expensive to do that work, R100-R200 should do it, very minor in the big scheme of things in terms of the work they normally do.
DIPSLICK Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Shocking that you didn't just drop it off by me, in fact I take offense MR POTGIETER
Daniel J Méssem Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 dremel idea could work, or we can pop it on the mill if you like, maybe use a. dremel bit or a dovetail mill
V12man Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Take it to Dips - or bring it to me.... Dips is closer
