Anyone know of somewhere that would do this for me and roughly what it will cost?
I live in NW london and work in the West End but will travel if necessary.

I'd also happy buy a die to do it myself if anyone knows of one that's less than £50. Park Tools have one but I'd need a mortgage to pay for it ;oP

I had one done at Bikefix - £20/inch. Mine didn't look the prettiest threading but absolutely did the job.....

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.
