bike crank thread repair

[@Gilly1989]

So I'd replaced the pedals on my Raceface Ride XC cranks and managed to completely strip the threads in the right crank (only the second time riding them), I was tempted to do all this myself and rethread it, but luckily I've managed to find someone selling the exact same crank spider on eBay so I'm just gonna swap it out and hope I don't bugger em up again!

Yo is bike parts cheaper in your country than in philippines?

[@Gilly1989]

@@SYNTHETIC1608 so this particular part cost me about £30 second hand on eBay, which converts to just over 2100 PHP for reference!

Are helicoils made from steel or aluminium?

[@neilgoth1974]

How about installing helicoil on Shimano crank arm pinch bolts? I find myseld in a situation now that I've stripped those pinch bolt areas as I kept on removing and reinstalling for a deep clean.

I don’t see why not pal, never had to do that you must have cleaned it loads lol

[@neilgoth1974]

@@retrobikestuff760haha. I'll give it a go. Cleaned loads as in I've had the cranks for years moving between a few bikes as well.

Question: If I am repairing the left pedal instead (vs. the right in the video), does the coil and threading tap tool go in clockwise also? (I understand for the left side, the pedal tightens counter clockwise). Thank you.

Is there a size on what thread you need to use on your crank?

That is my question

9/16

[@BramBiesiekierski]

9/16 - 20. UNEF There are quite a few different 9/16 threads. These are relatively uncommon, when compared to the more common 9/16 UNC / UNF sizes.
