The list of things they did to finish off my efforts was VERY long though so I can't remember exactly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260399 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:12:51 +0000 I were right about that saddle 260399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, it's 9/16 inch 20 threads per inch. Maybe someone does it by post? Pretty specialised stuff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260394 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:03:11 +0000 14Westfield 260394@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@IWRATS</p> <p>Yeah that is exactly my hesitance about using a 'normal' automotive repair type - it will be a reverse thread and as the internal of a pedal/crank is imperial I'd expect the outside to be too.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260346 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 08:18:21 +0000 I were right about that saddle 260346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@14Westfield</p> <p>If you can't find a bike shop to do this (they're - possibly reverse threaded! - imperial threads so a motorbike place likely won't have the kit) you don't need machine tools, just a vice, a cool head and a<a href="http://www.ebay.de/itm/like/322302195990?chn=ps&amp;dispItem=1"> thread repair kit.</a></p> <p>But at €220 it might be cheaper to buy new cranks....? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260341 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 05:54:33 +0000 wintermute 260341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If he does repairs as quickly as his sales, prepare yourself for a loooooong wait. Try Eastside Bikes, or Biketrax (used them both, very happy so far). If they can't help, maybe give car/motorbike garage a call? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260340 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 02:30:51 +0000 Tulyar 260340@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Might try Ben at Kinetics in Glasgow, as he has proper machine tools for this sort of work. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18133#post-260331 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 20:21:38 +0000 14Westfield 260331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi there hive mind.</p> <p>Has anyone found an Edinburgh repair shop that can do helicoils or threaded inserts?</p> <p>While removing a stubborn pedal i throughly stripped the crank threads out so am looking to be able to repair the threads as i havent been able to source an identical replacement!</p> <p>Ive had this done to mortirbike while living down south but dont know of anywhere that can do this.</p> <p>Cheers! </p>
