Pedal thread repair

[Chrisjanopsyfiets]

My sons pedal on his brand new SLX crank worked loose with stripped thread being the end result. Can anyone point me towards someone who can help with a thread insert…. It is on the drive side i.e. right hand thread. I really don’t want to throw the crank away….. In the Cape Town area if possible…. But I can send it elsewhere if needed. Would really appreciates any help.

Apparently Bruce Reyneke can have it fixed.

Helicoil should work, if it's not too badly stripped you can rethread from the opposite side of the crank arm with some finesse.

Thanks…. Anyone know about options in Cape Town area I could try first?
