I've knackered the threads on a set of fairly new cranks (not sure how, the pedal just came out after a few hundred miles). Any recommendations for somewhere to sort them out? I'm thinking they'll need drilling out and a new thread inserting. South London preferable but happy to post if needs be.

You can get a helicoil repair -new threads cut to a larger size (usually 5/8ths x 20) and a threaded bushing with an interior 9/16th x 20 thread fitted.
This is a dead common repair any proper bike (repair) shop will do it.
Cranks need to be solid aluminium alloy (or steel 😉)

Cheers for that, that's what I had guessed the process was. Reassuring to hear that it's not too complicated a task!

@Eseman, thanks, I'll check them out.
