Is this still for sale? I'm in the USA on the East Coast. Please email me at skpearson *at* gmail dot com if it's still available.Just sent you an email
If I could replace this piece I can still use the crank set. It's a shame to throw it away for such a small part. Any Idea where to look for such a thing?
probably should get those threads in the frame cleaned up at the same time. they're a bit flattened and will probably crush softer threads on a new through axle again. the dimensions (axle length, diameter and thread pitch) are usually printed directly on the through axle. just match those if so and perhaps increase length by a millimeter or two?appreciate it! I found this thread repair kit that I will give a try: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3X9V4SG?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apin_dp_G8WSQNNBXF4X2REPDPCJ&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apin_dp_G8WSQNNBXF4X2REPDPCJ&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apin_dp_G8WSQNNBXF4X2REPDPCJ&previewDohEventScheduleTesting=C&csmig=1&th=1
Hey, sounds like you’re talking about the metal insert for the rear thru-axle threads. If the threads are stripped, a good bike shop should be able to re-tap it for you. If it’s only slightly damaged, they can usually clean it up with the right tap. Worst case, if the threads are really gone, they might be able to install a thread insert like a Heli-Coil. Either way, it’s fixable — just take it to someone who knows what they’re doing and make sure they confirm the correct thread pitch before starting.gotcha. i feel as though this should not have happened though, so if the metal is too weak to properly hold a thread then it would most likely happen again.
