Steerer tube thread cutter in Coventry?

Posted on
  • Hi everyone
    I need to extend the thread on a pair of forks, and none of the bike shops in cov have a thread cutter - cov cycle centre, albany etc..

    Just wondering if anyone knew anybody with one?
    I've tried Lee Cooper but I can't seem to get through to the number I have for him.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Lee Cooper might be your best bet. I think RHB has been to see him in the past so might have his details.

    Otherwise I know a good machinist in Coventry who could probably cut the thread for you but they are not bicycle people and do ad hoc machining work for local engineering companies. It's on Lifford Way (Binley Industrial) estate in the corner on the left of Chips Away.

  • Ok cheers.
    I think I have his house number, I hope he doesn't mind me ringing him later.

  • Just so anybody else who wants this doing knows:
    Lee Cooper could do it, but he basically says that he might fuck the threads up when he removes the die as it is so blunt. So it would be at your own risk, and he'd charge about £30.
