• Dafuq do I do now?

    Drilled a hole to tap threads for mudguards. Silly me drilled a hole that was too small. Tap broke in frame. Can't get it out. Have tried everything I could think of.. any ideas?

    The tip was already through the other side when it broke. I managed to break it off quite far into the dropout, so the there is only material from the tap about half way (maybe 2/3rds) through the hole.

  • You can definitely drill it out. Also with tapping, there will be a specified drill bit to the tap e.g 5mm for m6x1 tap and use plenty of cutting grease
