pulled thread on forks
Evening
I am stupid.
Tightening one of the pinch bolts on on the bottom yoke the other day and I over tightened it.
I have pulled the thread out.
As there are only 3 bolts holding each fork in I assume this is quite an important bolt.
So what are my options?
1. new bottom yoke
2. tap and bigger bolt
3. ??
What would you do?

3rd option, use a helicoil kit, stronger than original

Quick option if needed, longer bolt and use a washer and nyloc nut on the end.

Have you sorted it yet Dan
As mentioned a Helicoil repair is the best option, easy enough with the right kit

And sorted this one too.
Was easier than I thought.
Cheers for the suggestion all.
