hi folks theres a wheel i want to buy from some who says the thread has gone on both sides of the hub

does anyone know if this is fixable?

he has a cog on one side at the moment which has been rivated in place so its fine to ride but ideally i would want to take it off

Hey mate, don't test it. Sound's like the only option would be a suicide set up (welded on cog or rotofixed). It's not safe and in all likelihood, if you ever would want to sell it again, anyone in their right mind wouldn't buy it again.

Stripped thread = new hub.

You know it makes sense.

Its possible to cut fresh threads in that are smaller diameter, then machine an insert, but it would cost a small fortune.
If its just hte lockring thread then you've got the option of running a freewheel/SS

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
