Dorpie Posted September 19, 2017 Share Hey guys,Anyone out there know where I can get threaded inserts done for my XT crank.I've done a little research and a Helicoil and an insert are not the same (common mistake apparently). A Helicoil is not going to work on a crank because it's wire and will just pull out.Definitely needs to be a threaded Insert.Anyone in JHB that can help please. CheersD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersDAny engineering shop can do it for you if they have the insert kit - remember one side has to be reverse thread.... might be easier to just buy a new crank. JR Engineering in Strydom park - Camper - 011 793 4410 has done inserts on magnesuim engine cases for me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose! Posted September 19, 2017 Share Not sure if I want to stand and peddle, or sprint with cranks having inserts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted September 19, 2017 Share Yup that's the oneit's called a Vasbyt Helicoil Insert. We get them from Match Trading in Cape Town. Not sure what thread your pedal has and I doubt you'll get them in left hand for the non-drive side pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
