re-threading 1" threaded forks?
« on: April 12, 2009, 10:03 PM »
Does anyone know if there is a way to re-thread worn threads on a 1" threaded fork - bought some from here that are shagged and need a miracle - I like them (Silverfox) but they are unuseable as they are...

Some thoughts:  smother in metal epoxy stuff and re-thread, weld over the top and re-thread?

Any ideas / experience?

You can get the right size die for them but i cant remember were for the life of me. They definatley need building back up before re-threading.welding may distort the thin tube so epoxy may be the way to go. If there for a carpet queen maybe try using ptfe tape or electrical tape,it may well allow it to nip up enough :daumenhoch:

I have some metal epoxy used ro repair engine blocks etc so should be strong enough - I'll take it into work to see if the guys in the workshop can do anything. 

Not going to be a carpet Queen!  just a rough rider...

Does anyone know what thread it is?

Did they charge much?  The forks aren't worth a lot but I like the look of them and would rather keep them!

Have a looky here.

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=82808.0

The first thing I did was a search on 1" threads - how rubbish am I at searching?  Thanks for the link - I am leaning towards sending my forks to Argos cycles -I'll give them a ring tommorrow.  :)
