i want to tap threads into the axles of my novatec track hubs for a neat solution of attaching mudguards to a frame that doesnt have eyelets. it turns out the axles are on the perfect position in relation to the length of the stays of the mudguards.
a) is this a bad idea
b) if no, what thread should i be tapping?
c) could i do this when the hub is still in the wheel?
d) what would a die cost?
i know this means having to remove the mudguards to get the wheel out, but actually that would be the case anyway with the rear wheel and removing a couple of bolts also isnt that much extra trouble.
thanks in advance
